40. Unprocessed Peanut Butter
There's a possibility that unprocessed peanut butter may contain carcinogenic aflatoxins, which are toxins produced by mold fungi that may be found on crops such as corn and nuts. Chronic, low-level exposure to aflatoxins may increase a person's risk of developing liver cancer, according to some studies.
Commercially produced peanut butter normally undergoes testing for harmful toxins, which are removed during processing. It's best to avoid nut butters and peanut butters in large quantities.
