The following is audio that I have transcribed from Dr. Robert O. Young's work, "The Etiology of Human Disease" which is part of the audio series "A Vision Made Real".

If you want to buy it, like I did, easily found for $198 yikes!

"Fungi produce uric acid. Uric acid produces vasculitis and gouty tissues. There is no human cell that produces uric acid. Gout is a metabolic disorder marked by an excess of uric acid in the blood, by painful inflammation of joints, especially the big toes, and by deposits of sodium byurate in the cartilages of the effected joints and in the kidney. A 1925 biology text discussed a case of gout found in a goose after eating corn. The gout was found to be caused by the mycotoxin osporan found in the corn. Now isn’t that interesting? Biologists knew way back in the 20’s that osporan found in corn produced gout in animals? In 1981, Perron(?), in Georgia found that osporan fed to chickens and turkeys induced severe articular and vascular gout. It is a known fact that 14% of the market chickens have gout. 30% have salmonella, and 93% have leukosis, or fungus produced cancer. …

In Shri Lanka they have crocodile farms. They raise them commercially for leather. One day all the crocodiles became ill. Crododiles, like birds get gout. So the crocodiles are all lying on the shore. Immobile and sick. The local vets found gout in every crocodile. For 3-4 weeks the crocodiles had been eating the entrails, intestines, and feet of chickens. When they stopped the chicken feeding, the inflammation of the joints resided. So what were the chickens eating that were fed to the crocodiles? Corn. And Corn contains over 25 different fungi producing (that produce) mycotoxins (a mycotoxin is a toxic substance produce by yeast/fungus: alcohol for example).

In 1963 it was reported that Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers and brewers yeast) produces uric acid. In 1954 Griffith reported that uric acid induces diabetes in animals. It was also reported that uric acid derived alloxan, a primary metabolite of uric acid, was found in the blood of diabetic patients. In 1980 researchers discover that alloxan injures the insulin producing pancreatic cells. And finally, in 1990, Coleman reported that all mice fed a diet containing 10% brewers yeast developed diabetes.

Several years ago in Greenland, there was an epidemic of babies being born in the month of September with type I juvenile diabetes. The doctors were puzzled with the high incidence of diabetes in 1 month. When they looked into the problem it turned out to be correlated to Christmas week and the ingestion of a festive meat called mutton, which is cured. Cured means aged. Fermented, or in other words 'molding'. During the holiday these potential mothers ate a high amount of mutton while they were conceiving their pregnancy. So they were being exposed to poisonous mycotoxins. The doctors blamed it on nitrosamines. So they postulated nitrosamines and warned potential mothers not to eat this kind of meat when they were conceiving babies or during pregnancy. When the meat was checked they found no nitrosamines and discarded the study as being insignificant. Isn't it strange how we throw away observations? What they didn’t check for was fungi and mycotoxins. All meats aged for human consumption are actually a partially fermented food product and such meat will be found in the aging sheds to be coated by toxigenic fungi and their associated mycotoxins. The consumption of moldy meat may well be one of the most dangerous of all human dietary habits."
