aflatoxin was lower.

aflatoxin conjugates (marker for DNA mutation) went down 55 % compared to those who
did not take it (20).

aflatoxin, with animal protein?
In several of his experiments, when the
aflatoxin - exposed rats were fed wheat protein or soy protein in place of casein, they didn't develop any cancer — even at the 20 percent level that proved so detrimental with casein.5 It seemed that those plant proteins were not only PETA - approved, but also the least likely to turn rat livers into tumor factories.

aflatoxin that were on vegetable diets

did, many grains also contain
aflatoxin depending on harvesting (cool, wet) conditions.
And one of the things that has come out from my work is that we're
doing more harm to ourselves than we recognize by consuming
aflatoxin, ochratoxin and some of the other common mycotoxins in our food supply at levels that are some sometimes considered safe and that by lowering those like making better choices like not eating something as simple as raisins.
So you just make these little switches and you eat something else and when you
do that, there is no benefit to consuming
