We're exposed to thousands of naturally occuring toxins on a daily basis, most we don't even know about.

Alfatoxin, a potent carcinogen, comes from a fungus that grows on peanuts.

Is not exclusive of peanuts. Aflatoxins of several types can appear in lots of incorrectly stored foods from milk to eggs, corn, nuts, cereals and many vegetables. A big cause of concern and probably having a role on liver cancer in dogs and cats.
