NUTS All nuts, especially peanuts (legumes), are likely sources of mold toxins. The nuts with the lowest risk are those you purchase still in their shells,

Toxic mold exposure hits your brain mitochondria first, then your gut, and then your skin, and it can really damage your performance in the process.

Many studies have shown that common mold toxins in food cause mitochondrial dysfunction.10 But most people don’t know when they’ve been exposed to mold, and they don’t realize that an “off” day might just be a sign of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Fungi are in between animals and plants. Their cell walls are made of chitin—a substance never found in plants—which makes them more like insects.

One type of mold toxin, called ochratoxin A (OTA)—found especially in high-polyphenol foods such as coffee, chocolate, wine, grains, and beer—is pure mitochondrial kryptonite.

These two types of toxins may come from vastly different sources, but both can make your mitochondria weak and cause inflammation, brain fog, and diminished mental performance. Let’s take a look at some of the worst ones. MOLD TOXINS

That makes fungi the largest known living organisms in the world.
