Our team studied a lot of research on the topic of food safety and some conclusions surprised us. It turns out that a lot of “healthy” food is a threat and we had no idea about it.
Of course, it would be perfect if we were to follow the lead of the experts and completely reject the products on our list, but the reason is that you can simply limit them in your diet and look for an alternative, if possible.
Raw Oysters
Why they’re forbidden:
American attorney Bill Marler has been dealing with food poisoning cases for more than 20 years. At that point, the man became an expert in the field and decided to share with everyone why he would never eat raw seafood.
Due to warming water in the global ocean, raw shellfish is a favorable breeding ground for many new species of bacteria.
What You Can Eat Instead: Roasted oysters with a spicy sauce are just as tasty.
Fresh Juice
Why it’s forbidden:
Freshly squeezed juice can cause virus and bacterial infection. In that case, the risk outweighs the benefit.
What you can drink: If you want to drink, it is better to drink pasteurized juices. However, if you want all the vitamins that fruits can offer you, the perfect option is to eat fresh fruits.
Rare Meat
Why it’s forbidden: Temperatures below 160 ° F (71 ° C) do not kill E. coli and salmonella in meat.
What to eat instead: Well cooked and well cooked meat.
Sprouted Grains
Why they’re forbidden:
Because of E. coli and salmonella, which are found in food much more often than you think. It is also important to understand that we can only consider grains that have not been chemically treated as healthy, and this is very difficult to verify.
What you can eat instead: Grains that sprouted according to these rules or raw seeds (flax, pumpkin, sunflower), which are no less beneficial.
Fresh Milk
Why it’s forbidden:
The conditions under which fresh milk is expressed cannot be called sterile, even if the owner takes good care of the cow.
Therefore, there is a possibility that there are viruses and bacteria in the milk, which can only be destroyed by boiling.
What to drink instead: Boiled or pasteurized milk.
Raw Brussels Sprouts
Why it’s forbidden:
In the last 20 years, Bill Marler has had 30 cases of poisoning from raw Brussels sprouts, and that’s why they are included on this list.
What to eat: To avoid E. coli and salmonella, it is best to fry or roast Brussels sprouts at a temperature of at least 160 ° C (320 ° F).
Boiled River Fish And Fish Soup
Why they’re forbidden:
Spanish scientists at the University of Seville have found that cooking freshwater fish kills only 18% of life-threatening cyanotoxins. The remaining harmful substances enter the broth, which turns into a toxin concentrate.
What you can eat instead: steamed fish. The experiment showed that this way of cooking kills 26% of cyanotoxins.
