What foods bind to mycotoxins?

some foods are natural binders

Did you know some foods have what's called bile acid binding capacity?

Bile acid binding capacity has been related to the cholesterol-lowering potential of foods.

But these foods can also bind to toxins, including mould mycotoxins, those nasty mould biproducts that can cause serious illness in humans.

Some drugs can do the same thing.

But actually, some foods have almost the same binding capacity as some drugs that are used for this same purpose. Amazing, right?!

foods that bind mycotoxins

So for natural mycotoxin detox support, try eating these veggies steamed (yes, they MUST be steamed)…

• Beetroot

• Okra

• Eggplant

• Asparagus

• Carrots

• Breen beans

Of course the other benefit of eating these foods is that the fibre and anti-oxidants they also support your gut microbiome and immune system, and your body's abilty to detox mycotoxins itself.

Good food, which humans evolved with, can be incredibly powerful as it does all sorts of beneficial things for us that we're only starting to understand now.
