Beware of E. Coli and Hepatitis: Top 10 Dirtiest Foods
YUCK 
Tags: dirtiest, food, dangerous, meat, health
Some say you are what you eat, but hopefully you aren't one of these! Men's Health magazine has identified the 10 dirtiest foods--from bad burgers and dangerous deli meats to hazardous health foods.
| 1. | Chicken – One study found more than 40 percent of chicken samples contained bacteria that can sicken, including E. coli. |
| 2. | Ground Beef -- It has the potential to be loaded with deadly E. coli bacteria and more. |
| 3. | Ground Turkey -- One in four packages of ground turkey tested contained bacteria. |
| 4. | Oysters -- Many are tainted not only with bacteria, but also the Norovirus. |
| 5. | Eggs -- Associated with 600,000 cases of food poisoning a year and 300 deaths. |
| 6. | Cantaloupe -- Bacteria is transferred into the fruit when cut with a knife. |
| 7. | Peaches - Dangerous because the peach fuzz makes it difficult to clean off the pesticides. |
| 8. | Pre-Packaged Tossed Salads -- Often contaminated with E. Coli. |
| 9. | Cold Cuts -- Can contain the dangerous bacteria Listeria, often spread by the deli slicer. |
| 10. | Scallions -- They've been linked to deadly outbreaks of Hepatitis-A. |

Cantaloupe? Scary.
Comment by: lintwhite Not enough detail given. This is just a scare list. Nothing is mentioned of the hygiene standards used in preparing these foods. If you prepare them yourself and know the sources to be hygienic you can stay disease free. Scalarising food neutralises all the pesticides and causes it to remain fresh up to three times longer. There are other measures as well, so check some out and stop living in fear.
