Experts told why you can not eat foods with mold, and what health problems they cause.
Moldy foods, even if a small area is affected by mold, are best thrown out and not eaten. This is because mold spreads not only on the surface, but also in the food itself, says mold expert Dr. Patrick Hickey.
Products with mold are especially dangerous for children, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, stresses The Sun.
Thus, some types of mold that affects, for example, bread can cause severe allergies and respiratory problems.
At the same time, mycotoxins produced by mold can affect the gastrointestinal tract and cause kidney or liver failure.
"It's deadly," explains Specialist Hickey.
