Many blame coffee, grains and even juice for their distressing symptoms - now doctors reveal the truth It's being blamed for a range of health problems - from itchy eyes and sensitive skin to breathing difficulties and gut problems such as bloating or diarrhoea.
Meanwhile, @pickyhands on TikTok advises viewers to ‘stop sipping on mould for fun, then wonder why you have issues in your body’ – pointing to the fact that many drinks contain citric acid (a preservative), which can be derived from mould.
It goes without saying that most of us would avoid eating foods that have gone mouldy, but some of those being highlighted now are foods that naturally contain mould - which is not necessarily visible nor harmful.
These are just some of the ‘warnings’ popping up on social media that mould-containing foods – which includes sourdough bread, blue cheese and kimchi – can trigger food allergies, intolerances or ‘toxicity’ symptoms.
In a post by Mari Llewellyn (@pursuitofwellnesspodcast), she interviews a nutritional therapy practitioner who warns against moulds not just in coffee but also grains, raw fish (sushi) and certain fruits and vegetables.
