Often people, seeing a slightly spoiled apple, still eat it. It's a shame, they say, to throw it away.

But if a third of the fruit's surface is damaged, experts strongly recommend not to eat it.

Or better yet, give up the apple altogether, even if it is slightly damaged.

Experts explain: when the fruit rots, mycotoxins appear, which can also end up on its healthy part, without indicating themselves with any unpleasant smell or color.

These substances can cause chronic intoxication, which can lead to serious health consequences, including cancer (liver and kidney cancer).

Experts draw special attention to the fact that mycotoxins do not disappear during heat treatment.

For this reason, it is recommended not to use spoiled apples for compote or pie.
