Organic Food, Cadmium, Heavy Metals, and Mycotoxins
Organic status is not a heavy-metal free pass. Cadmium tracks soil and crop more than seal alone; some organic systems can show higher mycotoxin risk when fungicides are restricted—context or crop-specific.

Trichothecenes and Stachybotrys: Context Without Panic
Stachybotrys chartarum (“black mold”) can produce trichothecenes in culture, but residential disease claims outran evidence. Dampness remediation still matters; toxin folklore is not the mechanism card for every symptom.

Ochratoxin and Food Mycotoxins: Dose Context Deep Dive
Ochratoxin A in grains, coffee, wine, and dried foods is a food-safety contaminant problem with regulatory limits—not proof that a damp bedroom equals dietary toxin dosing.

Urinary Mycotoxin Tests: Evidence Grade for Indoor Mold Claims
Commercial urine mycotoxin panels are poorly validated for diagnosing building-related illness. Diet, lab variability, and weak clinical utility undermine cleanse-driving results.

Mold & Damp Buildings: Health Evidence, Testing Limits & Remediation That Works
Dampness—not a magic spore number—is the risk signal. WHO and IOM link moldy buildings to respiratory disease; CDC does not recommend routine home mold testing. Fix water first.
