Is it safe Food We Eat?

Often, many of us ignore the dangers of food eaten. However, every year, many people suffer from diseases because of the food they eat. In countries that have high hygienestandards, each year an average of 10 to 15 percent of the population contracted thedisease carried by the food they eat.

Some of the things that make unsafe food eaten that is:

contaminated
Dozens of bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa and threatening to poison food. Food can be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Such as food stored in jars or containersthat are not sealed. Or raw vegetables such as fresh vegetables are not washed first.Other causes, the meat is left at room temperature for some time though it was cookedattracts bacteria.
Processing is not clean
If the food processing done quickly, most likely less attention to hygiene factors. It could be the container for cutting raw meat and cooked meat done on the same cutting board.


Eating out
Although eating out interesting, but should remain cautious. Some restaurants do notmaintain the cleanliness of the kitchen so it became a nest of germs. Or a few restaurants serve food on the table for a long time without refrigeration or storage containers tightly. Or often happens, the remaining food was served yesterday returnedthe next day.
Chemicals or drugs
Some chemicals or drugs given to livestock or plants. For example some of the animalswere given antibiotics in order to be immune to the disease, or hormones that cattlegrow faster. Bacteria in cattle is becoming more resistant, so that when consumed by humans, the germs that cause disease in humans over time will be immune to antibiotics.

Likewise, the pesticides on crops. Food can be contaminated by the remnants ofpesticides or substances that are harmful or toxic.
