Limpezas e doenças?

Citando:
""It's the way they are doing it which might mean they aren't actually as effective at reducing risks of illness as they think because the home may look clean, but it is not hygienic or disinfected at all.

"Studies have shown that flu viruses can survive on common household sites for extended periods of time, from up to 48 hours on wooden surfaces, eight hours on cloths, and 24-48 hours on non-porous surfaces.


"People may be surprised to learn that it is in fact hands and hand contact surfaces that can play a very important role in the journey of the germ, and that good hand hygiene together with regular disinfection of commonly touched surfaces can help to reduce transmission of colds and flu.


"Studies have also found household objects such as door handles, light switches, pens, tap and toilet handles, and television remote controls can become contaminated with viruses which are transmitted by dirty hands."

Ai os glifosatos...

... desta vez não testados. Convenientemente:

Citando:
"The testing techniques used in the new research meant only a subset of pesticides could be detected. Two very common pesticides – glyphosate and chlorothalonil – were not included in the study, meaning the findings represent a minimum level of contamination. The research focused on streams, as these harbour a large proportion of aquatic wildlife."

Regra dos 5 segundos (comida no chão) parece válida

http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/health/five-second-food-rule-right-12740084

Citando:
"He commented: “Eating food that has spent a few moments on the floor can never be entirely risk free.

"Obviously, food covered in visible dirt shouldn’t be eaten, but as long as it’s not obviously contaminated, the science shows that food is unlikely to have picked up harmful bacteria from a few seconds spent on an indoor floor.

“That is not to say that germs can’t transfer from the floor to the food.

"Our research has shown that the nature of the floor surface, the type of food dropped on the floor and the length of time it spends on the floor can all have an impact on the number that can transfer.”"

Citando (e notando que os franceses os têm no sítio):
"Em 2015, e após a divulgação do estudo da IARC, o Governo francês começou por fazer uma recomendação não vinculativa contra a venda ao público do glifosato. Há poucas semanas, porém, optou pela proibição total de produtos químicos que contenham glifosato e taloamina."

Problemas de cozinhar de menos a carne nos churrascos

Highlights: Problemas em cozinhar de menos a carne e a contaminação (uso de talheres comuns para manipular carne crua e a cozinhada, armazenamento conjunto das duas, mãos, etc. ).
UK: Contaminação por bactéria Campylobacter (65% dos casos).
Nos churrascos, recomendação de levar primeiro ao forno e terminar na grelha.
Recomendação de não (sic) lavar o frango antes de cozinhar (só espalha).
