Aflatoxins, cancer-causing toxins, have been linked to liver cancer and may also pose risks for other types of cancer. Research is being conducted to address the issue, including a study in Africa on the effects of aflatoxins and climate on child health, as well as efforts to develop techniques to control the toxin in foods such as corn, peanuts, rice, and flour. The scope of the problem and the specific risks associated with aflatoxin exposure are not entirely clear, with some studies suggesting potential links to cervical cancer and others focusing on liver cancer.
