#6Also the word "toxin" in the title shouldn't be there.
From Wikipedia: A toxin (from Ancient Greek: τοξικόν toxikon) is a poisonous substance produced within living cells or organisms;[1][2] synthetic toxicants created by artificial processes are thus excluded.
In other words a toxin is a poison (not a generically harmful substance) produced by living organisms for attack or defense.

#9Weird headline. I guess it's click bait, but the way it's phrased makes it sound like there are some toxins (unlike "these" toxins) that SHOULD be in our food.
Also they're not quite sure about it, but almost!

#10The article is mostly about food fraud. The only references to "toxins" are arsenic in rice and formaldehyde used as a preservative in milk (which apparently is a problem in Brazil).
