(Cake Mixes & Toxins
A student at HBHS (high school) had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal. His Mom (registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped h im off at school and headed to play tennis. She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this time and her son called to say he was having trouble breathing. She told him to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call school and alert the nurse. The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying. Evidently this is more common then I ever knew. Check the expiration dates on packages like pancakes and cake mixes that have yeast which over time develop spores. Apparently, the mold that forms in old mixes can be toxic! Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, Bisquick, brownie mixes etc you have in your home.)
(Check out the snopes link before you go throwing away your entire pantry)
You can check this website....... http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp
P. S. You might want to tell this to your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and anyone else who keeps these types of mixes in the cupboard. (Don't forget your uncle's, dog's, sister's, owner's, brother-in-law because he'll want to know as well!)
Please read the whole "snopes.com" article. It also
says the warning is overblown and if you don't have
an allergy to mold you shouldn't have to worry much
about it; if you do don't keep the mixes around for a
few years before you use them...
It's always a good practice to check expiration dates on foods in your pantry. They put dates on them for a reason.
