I just got an update today from my excellent online medical journal service, JournalWATCH, and thought I’d pass it along to you asap. This is something you really need to know. My service reported that the FDA has just approved Salmonella, noting that it’s safe and that everyone should enjoy it. So, no more worries about peanuts and peanut butter, nor about keeping your kitchen counter germ-free as you prepare, say, raw chicken for that great chicken dinner! What a relief!

Puzzled? I was too. Reading further down the piece, I then noted…Happy April Fool’s Day! Same to you! (And you thought most doctors and medical researchers were stuffy and humorless)

So, you do need to follow the news about what foods have been recalled; Salmonella is definitely NOT safe. A new report this week said that Salmonella was found in some pistachios, and recommended that we avoid both the pistachios themselves, as well as foods with pistachios in them until further notice.

More news and tips to follow.
