Chlorophyll Effective Against Aflatoxin

A new study has found that chlorophyll and its derivative chlorophyllin are effective in limiting the absorption of aflatoxin in humans. Aflatoxin is produced by a fungus that is a contaminant of grains including corn, peanuts and soybeans; it is known to cause liver cancer -- and can work in concert with other health concerns, such as hepatitis and anaphylaxis. Results of the study were just published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.

Bonnie - this could be an exciting discovery with more data in clinical trials.
