    Yes you are going to die... that is more to do with you being mortal rather than eating fluffy bread lol :p:p

    Cheese being made with bacterium and milk that has in effect "gone off" is just as gross as bread with its harmless mould spores.

    Cheese is fine as it is in essence off milk.
    Blue cheese is off cheese with added mould.

    Its a different type of mould to what you find in bread and meat.

    That's something I hear fairly often about both cheese and yoghurt - but it is a myth. Cheese and yoghurt have been changed by enzymes from very specific microbes, but they're not gone off. Food that's off has excessive unwanted bacterial growth, which is something else entirely.

    Thanks for the info, i'll be able to give the right answer to my sons food tech question now regarding whether cheese is off milk. I've telling him the wrong thing. Oops :o

    I can remember in the 1960s working in a supermarket - cheese with signs of mould was trimmed up/rewrapped and put back on sale!
