by David J. Hanson, Ph. D. "Alcohol with a meal can lower the risk of food poisoning" reports the New York Times. 1 The evidence continues to grow that drinking alcoholic beverages with dinner can either prevent food poisoning or reduce its effects. Food poisoning appears to be much more common than most people realize because they often incorrectly attribute their symptoms to flu. More serious is the fact that food poisoning can be fatal. An outbreak of gastroenteritis leading to diarrhea, vomiting and high fever among passengers on a cruise ship was analyzed. Research indicated that the consumption of alcohol by many of the passengers may have been what prevented them from getting sick. 2 A Spanish study of an outbreak of acute salmonella gastric infection among people at a banquet found that "the protective effect of alcohol was strongest for subjects who had drunk more than 40 grams of alcohol, with attack rates being 95% for those who had not drunk alcohol, 78% for those who had drunk less than 40 grams, and 54% for those who had drunk more than 40 grams. 3 A standard drink in the U.S. contains 14 grams of alcohol. A standard drink is a can or bottle of beer (12 ounces) a glass of wine (5 ounces) or a shot of distilled spirits (1.5 ounce). Thus, three standard drinks would equal 42 grams of alcohol. In a similar incident, Desenclos and his colleagues studied an outbreak of illness caused by people eating oysters contaminated with shigella or salmonella. The researchers found that "After controlling for potential confounders, a protective effect for beverages that have an alcohol concentration >10% was found, but no protective effect was found for beverages with an alcohol concentration <10%." 4 Thus, it appears that the higher the alcoholic content or proof of the beverage, the more protective it is against food poisoning.
None
Salmonella is the name of a species of bacteria.
Yes.
salmonella can kill u. many animals can carry it i had turtles and my mom warned me about it.
NO heat will kill salmonella not freezing.
No, only if the egg has salmonella. However, you can't tell if something has salmonella just by looking at it, so it is best to fully cook the egg to kill the salmonella bacteria.
Alcohol does not kill brain cells.
Yes, via bacteria such as salmonella or toxins such as botulinum.
salmonella in the eggs dies when you bake the cake so no
Salmonella is a bacteria that gives you "the runs". that means that you have to go to the bathroom again and again and AGAIN. it does not kill you, but it is a bother. It will only kill those who are very young, very old, or very sick people in general.
Salmonella should be cooked for apporimately 15 minutes and makes a great accompaniment to fried eggs
you mean Salmonella and Escherischa coli both give you the runs and can kill
