Immunity and Bacteria
IMMUNITY- What is the relationship between immunity and diet? Just as having more than one sex partner places additional stress on the immune system, in the same way one must adapt to the immune system of each animal he or she eats. Leukemia is called leukosis if a chicken has it. Yet it is the same cancer. The USDA allows cancers the size of grapefruits to be cut out of cows and allows the rest of the carcass to be passed.
How many diseases can be transmitted to humans from animals? As early as 1905 the USDA was saying that over 100 diseases could be contacted by humans eating the flesh or products of animals. Now the number is in the thousands. Brucellosis, trichinosis, toxoplasmosis, ptomaine poisoning, E coli bacteria are some of these. Histoplasmosis, present in bird waste, is a special health hazard near factory farms' water supply.
BACTERIA PREVENTION-What about food poisoning? 97% of all food poisoning fatalities, as reported in a Knight Ridder wire story, were caused by animal products. Those who eat frozen meat are trusting to proper freezing at the slaughterhouse, in transportation trucks, warehouses, grocery freezers, and at home. Thermophilic bacteria can survive temperatures of 300 degrees or more. Creiophilic bacteria can survive freezing temperatures in meat. Be very careful if eating raw fish such as sushi due to the overload of bacteria and parasites. Even at Sushi restaurants they have to have warnings posted about eating raw fish.
Salmonella food poisoning refers to a bacteria which can be contacted in restaurants or kitchens in which animal products come into contact with other food-through human fingers, counter tops, etc.
What we put in our bodies does one of two things: Makes our cells stronger or weakens them. Many food items we put in our bodies weakens our resilient body over time. Plaque build up in our organs and pipes is basically what kills most people in the end. What causes plaque? Why is interventional radiology a big career to go into? Because people clog up everything in there body by what they eat.
What about Plants and bacteria?: If you study the final results in many salmonella outbreaks in plant life it is caused by animal waste somehow getting on the produce. The last spinach and tomato scare was caused by animal waste contaminating the produce. We can all take this to ridiculous levels I understand. The Spinach that got so much news publicity ended up having pig fecies on it causing the e-coli. There is DDT in almost all soil and our planet is over-used, over populated, and our water systems are mostly toxic now too. We can choose to live in doom, or make the best choices possible with what we have left to choose from. Yes, there can be bugs and worms on plant life too. We all need to be careful. However, animal flesh caries the most bacteria and more serious parasites in comparison.
