In fact, the production of aflatoxin needs two elements: "Aspergillus flavus" and "suitable conditions", and the production process of Pu 'er tea is not conducive to the production of aflatoxin. In 70 samples of Pu 'er tea, the detected aflatoxin was not produced by the tea itself, but was contaminated by aflatoxin in the storage environment because of the bad storage conditions. Dry storage has become the mainstream, and wet storage has already become a product that everyone in the industry shouts. It is extremely irresponsible to label all Pu 'er tea as "carcinogenic".
Deducing from "detection of aflatoxin" that "drinking Pu 'er tea causes cancer" is a typical rogue behavior that talks about toxicity without dose. At present, the content of aflatoxin in tea monitored is extremely low. Moreover, aflatoxin in grain and oil is directly eaten into the body, which is insoluble in water and not easily dissolved in tea. In fact, the amount of aflatoxin in the body is lower than that in tea. Even if it is all soaked in tea, the content of 0. 1 microgram is only equivalent to the total amount of 1% calculated from grain above. In other words, if you are worried that drinking Pu 'er tea will cause cancer, then the risk of cancer caused by eating is higher than it 100 times!
In short, when consumers buy, as long as they are careful not to buy tea cakes that are too cheap, have water stains on paper bags, and the tea cakes are obviously moldy (such as frosting and mildew spots) or unpleasant in taste, and do not drink tea that is not clear or even musty, there will basically be no problems.
