Saha Turna N, Havelaar A, Adesogan A, Wu F (2022). Aflatoxin M1 in milk does not contribute substantially to global liver cancer incidence. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, in press. #9 p.
Key messages:
- The risk of liver cancer from drinking milk contaminated with aflatoxin M1 is much lower than previously thought.
- There is no evidence for other serious health effects.
- International standards for AFM1 in milk are not risk-based.
- Dumping of milk because international standards for AFM1 are exceeded creates economic and nutritional risks that far outweigh the minimal cancer risk.
