"Unseen Risks: Are Plant-Based Toxins More Dangerous Than Assumed?"
A study by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment reveals that public awareness of naturally occurring plant toxins in foods is low, with only 47% of respondents aware of such risks. In contrast, concerns about synthetic residues and contaminants are much higher, at 63% and 62% respectively. The study highlights the need for better education on the dangers of natural toxins in foods like beans and potatoes, as well as the risks associated with moldy food.
