Have you guys heard of aflatoxins and their effect on the liver?

If you have Hep B, I am wondering whether you have heard about or been advised on Aflatoxins (present in many foods, esp Peanuts) and their effect on the liver?

Stanford or Harvard did a famous study on Hep B patients with high levels of aflatoxin exposure - the results were quite conclusive.

That's what I meant - having a diet high in aflatoxins increases the risk of cirrhosis and cancer.

what do you mean "quite conclusive"? This can kill by damaging the liver. Have they concluded something beyond that?
