This is a YouTube video titled "Beware of mold in your coffee." containing a conversation between two speakers discussing the presence of mold toxin ochratoxin A in coffee, its effects on the body including dehydration and potential cancer risk. The dialogue is informal and educational, recorded in July 2024.
Wait, so it's the mold that dehydrates us?
Oh, my gosh. Do you want 30 seconds on that?
Yes.
The primary mold toxin in coffee that survives roasting and brewing is called ochratoxin A. It is a toxin that attacks your bladder and your kidneys. So when your body detects that you just drank this, it freaks out. It dehydrates your tissues to dilute the toxin. And you know this. You ever drink coffee and then you have to pee 20 minutes later and your bladder is not full?
Yes.
Why did you have to pee without a full bladder? Because there's toxins in your pee, and your body's like, get it out of here. This stuff causes cancer.
Oh, my God. I have chills all the way down my body.
This is why it works.
