Researchers discovered that more than a quarter of study participants contaminated salad with raw poultry, including many who did not wash the poultry, in a study to determine the effect of washing poultry on kitchen contamination. In order to lower the risk of contracting a foodborne illness while preparing meals at home, the study emphasises […]

Fewer Burgers may translate to healthier Lungs, says researchers
A plant-centric diet in early adulthood was associated with less risk of emphysema in middle age, results of a long-running cohort study indicated. Participants whose diets at enrollment were in the top quintile on the A Priori Diet Quality Score (APDQS) system had 60% lower odds of developing emphysema over 30 years of follow-up versus those with […]
