Default mold

Cleaning out my fridge, I sometimes find green
moldy unnamed stuff, from the Paleozoic era.

So I wonder, let's say bread has a bit of mold,
not too much, maybe you pull it out in the dark,
you're drunk, you don't even notice it, Is it toxic?

Keep your bread in the freezer. Most real bread will let you pull off
a couple slices at a time.

If bread is damp in the fridge I let it breathe. It seems to last forever.
I have heard a fellow loosing his face from bread mold in his sinuses.
Never ate a lot, but never got sick. I guess opened bread could get exposed
to more toxic versions.

Depends, are you allergic to penicillin?

Is it that easy?
I knew penicillin was discovered as a mold, but I assumed
there was some processing.

Just leave some bread (probably wheat) in the fridge,
and viola, penicillin?

Not exactly. You really need a cello. A double bass does even better.

DON'T tell someone that on a public forum. It's dangerous and stupid
to think that any fungus floating in the air and landing on a slice of
bread might create penicillin. There's no single mold type any more
than there's a single species of idiot.

It seems almost all food is carcinogenic. Wheatena is essentially banned
in California because it has the same carcinogen as most baked wheat
products. Even broccoli and other brassicas. considered by many to be an
anti-cancer food, has carcinogens in it.

Wheatena isn't banned -- they just have to disclose the amount of
carcinogen/neurotoxin it contains.

I used the word "essentially." How many bread or melba toast purveyors
tell you how much carcinogen is in their product. If you were selling a
product that has been on the market for well over a hundred years, how
would you like to print a "cigarette label" on your product. I am
willing to sign a health disclaimer when I buy Wheatena for my
consumption even though it does contain a carcinogen even if the
producer will not admit it.

For now, it seems that the manufacturer is not whipping Wheatena into
California, and a few other states.
