Todays Texas Journal(WSJ) stated that 62% of Texas corn tested this year
has been deemed unfit for human consumption because of aflatoxin levels
above 20 ppb (parts per billion)caused by aspergillus flavus a parasitic
fungus found on irrigated crops.  They have even found some with levels
above 1000 ppb.  The permitted level for dog food is 300 ppb.

Aflatoxin causes pancreatic, liver and esophical cancers and is
considered the primary nutritional sourse of cancer in the U.S.  In
Africa where they eat even more corn than Americans do these cancers are
pandemic.
