ORIGINAL: pahunkboy Food: The Ultimate Secret Exposed - The grocery store, along with your kitchen sink, are two of the most dangerous places in the world.
I must say pahunkboy, you do come up with some doozies and you are right about the kitchen sink..well, sort of. I'm a bleach addict, a purist really. It has to be "Clorox," or bust. I add a capful or 2 to my dishwater and I use bleach to sterilize my sinks and counters. I've always washed any chicken, turkey or pork products in vinegar and sea-salt. When I used to eat beef, I would rinse it with water. Rachel Ray does a cooking show and I saw her take chicken right out of the package and proceed to cook it. I wrote in and received a reply stating the temperature (heat) of cooking would kill any bacteria on the chicken. hmmmmm. Okay! All of my careful washing and cleaning didn't stop me from picking up a nasty parasite called Entamoeba histolytica. Travelers to endemic areas are at risk for this infection; however I was in Houston. I developed Amebiasis and nearly died as it took the doctors several months to diagnose me. The infectious diseases folks decided I picked up this parasite from fruits and/or vegetables shipped from certain countries. And so....I now wash all fresh produce and fruits in dawn and a smidgen of bleach as well as washing my hands fastidiously. And yes, all the soap pump bottles on the sinks in my house have a little bleach mixed in with the hand-soap. Paranoia can be a good thing![:D] Regards, dovie
