yeah Davis is agriculturally oriented. Because this microbe grows in cows stomachs it is added to silage (feed) - so dairy products have this metabolite.

Amazing finding. The statistics on liver damage from aflatoxins said to affect potentially 5 billion people. And of course in the US, with its high incidence of obesity has liver issues due to NAFLD. Then of course the heavy drinkers are all at risk.
