PRACTICE SAFE EATING

While many people are worried about pesticides on fruit and vegetables, the experts rated it 34 out of 44 on their list of priorities.
More than three-quarters of the nutritionists thought it wise to avoid raw foods, particularly eggs, meat and seafood. Raw eggs and chicken can harbor salmonella bacteria, a common cause of food poisoning. Raw seafood can harbor viruses or parasites. Buy only from a reputable dealer, or avoid raw seafood altogether.
