I read a study today about a person that got a blood infection from the "good" bacteria in yogurt, and died. Nature be scary yo. If you can be taken out by yogurt I imagine anything can do it used in the wrong way, or even the correct way on occasion.

Salad considered harmful. https://archive.is/wip/vqmi5 https://archive.is/wip/vqmi5 > Professor Pennington also pointed out that a bean sprout farm in northern Germany was identified as the most likely source of many of the infections in the E. coli outbreak that left 22 people dead in 2011.

    > On top of all that, root veggies and leafy greens absorb a lot of toxins Fantastic. I felt really good about myself starting to eat leafy greens consistently this year. There is no escape from the poison.

      If you have a 2x2 south-facing outdoor space you can grow a variety of leafy greens in a container, and even stack containers. You can probably grow them indoors too but enough light can be challenging. (There's always grow lights tho)

  Bean sprouts are well known to be dangerous when eaten raw. 'Such infections, which are so frequent in the United States that investigators call them "sproutbreaks", may be a result of contaminated seeds or of unhygienic production with high microbial counts.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting#Health_concerns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting#Health_concerns

    Yeah, you'll have to wash and boil them, not too long though or they're not crunchy anymore.
