The Future of Coffee: Understanding Food-Borne Toxicants
Coffee is one of the most popular beverages around the world, but did you know that some of your daily cup of joe may contain traces of food-borne toxins? A recent study conducted by scientists from the University of East Anglia has found that coffee may contain toxic compounds known as mycotoxins, which can be produced from mold and fungus. The team identified the presence of these mycotoxins in both the coffee beans and in the brewed coffee itself. The findings of this research could have serious implications for those who drink coffee on a regular basis.
