will rinsing spouting seeds with this control ecoli and samonella?
"Consumers need to understand that, at this time, the best way to control this risk is not to eat raw sprouts, she says. Raw sprouts have been associated with salmonellosis and e-coli infections, the FDA says. Children, the elderly and people with weak immune systems are at greater risk for developing serious illness due to food borne diseases. "If you do opt for sprouts, the FDA advises you to: Cook sprouts to reduce risk of illness. Check sandwiches and salads purchased at restaurants, and request that sprouts be omitted. Be careful of homegrown sprouts. Sprout seeds may be contaminated and bacteria present in or on seeds can grow even under clean conditions." "I have also read that because of the delicacy of sprouts, they can't be effectively washed to clean bacteria off them. Since I recently purchased hundreds of alfalfa and broccoli seeds for sprouting for Y2K, I'm not sure what to do myself. Cooking destroys the enzymes and some nutrients. What are your thoughts on this? Bonnie" -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
