Probiotics are presented as one of the most effective interventions for aflatoxin B1 exposure. Liver CYP450 enzymes convert aflatoxin B1 into a more toxic electrophilic epoxide. Aflatoxin B1 is classified by IARC as a known human carcinogen. Long-term aflatoxin B1 exposure is associated with a greatly increased risk of liver cancer, especially with hepatitis B co-infection. Aflatoxin B1 is produced only by Aspergillus species.
