Unwashed food destroys health?

For example, fresh herbs that are sold prepackaged and ready to eat. A spoonful of tar in this barrel of honey (soon, the bowl of salad) added a British bacteriologist Hugh Pennington: if you treat a pre-packaged salad lightly, he says, it is possible to face with the man to meet unnecessary. For example, with Cryptosporidium, which cause traveler's diarrhea, Salmonella, and even the causative agent of listeriosis, which in General you can die.





Another "surprise" – a bacterium E. coli that caused the outbreak of intestinal infection in Germany in the spring of 2011.

All of these organisms both in the soil and in water, so even if the lettuce looks clean, it does not mean anything. "Most of the vegetables are grown in countries where standards of hygiene are somewhat different," – explains the essence of the problem Professor Pennington.





And clarifies that it is not even that unwashed greens are issued for washed – some microorganisms in General should not fall on these plants, because then you can eliminate them except cooking and special means.
