Adverse health effects from blue cheese? Login/Join

I eat a lot of blue cheese, and wondered if the mold that produces the blue streaks might have adverse health effects. There are cultures that enjoy a certain kind of moldy bread, but they have a higher incidence of esophageal cancer.

A web search suggests that there are no adverse health effects from that mold. This article, for example:

“…Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium glaucum, which are the blue moulds used for cheese, cannot produce these toxins in cheese. The combination of acidity, salinity, moisture, density, temperature and oxygen flow creates an environment that is far outside the envelope of toxin production range for these moulds. In fact, this is true for almost all moulds in cheese, which is the reason that cheese has been considered a safe mouldy food to eat for the past 9,000 years…”

BTW – I like Stilton blue, but my very favorite is Cambozola Grand Noir. Semi soft, and utterly delicious, my upscale grocery usually has it in stock.

It's good mold, nothing to be worried about.

People have been eating it for what, 1,000 years now?

I have an adverse reaction to it also, it’s called wretching.

I do not like the stuff - aroma, looks, texture, none of it.

There are many studies on the health effects of cigarette smoking, but I know of only two reputable studies that include the health effects of pipe smoking. Both studies were made by US public health organizations.

Those two studies used very different methodologies, but both reached the same broad conclusion: Cigarette smokers have significantly shorter life spans than nonsmokers. Cigar smokers have about the same life spans as nonsmokers. Pipe smokers have slightly longer life spans than nonsmokers.

I was not worried about moldy cheeses, but I suppose I am glad to know that I am justified in not worrying.

All cheese is produced by microflora and for the cheeses that are widespread in the human diet, the biota is well proven to be GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe).

I've tried to like it but the stuff tastes like goat vomit regardless of whatever name it uses.

Like to take blue cheese and mix in in with the raw ground beef to make burgers, place them on the smoker and the BC melts into the burger leaving a super tangy bit in every bite.

there was a study out there somewhere that suggested if you were Celiac, the mold/cheese produced an enzyme that did not do well with a Celiac's tummy,

my wife (she is Celiac) loves it, but only eats it sparingly to prevent any unwanted distress

So it's safe to eat that old, moldy cheddar that I found in the back of the fridge?

Not that I'd want it unless it was some improbable survival situation like passing through a mist and shrinking to microscopic size, but if you scrape off the external mold, it would probably be OK (as in not sickening or killing you) to eat. The mold on the cheese is not (likely) the same as that used to make the cheese.

Edible molds and fermented drink are something that more people should partake in, principally, eat more cheese and drink more wine, cider and, beer. For most people, adding the flora and varying the ph into your gut will help your internal biome ergo, better digestion.
