Got Milk ! Raw Milk is very bad for you! Remember Louis Pasteur?

 Why is raw milk bad for you? Why do you pasteurize milk?

Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization for a reason!

       Raw milk can pose several health risks due to the presence of harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, as well as parasites like Giardia and Cryptosporidium. These pathogens can cause foodborne illnesses, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and in severe cases, even death, particularly in vulnerable populations like young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.

    Pasteurization is a process of heating milk to a specific temperature (usually around 161°F or 72°C) for a set period (typically 15-30 seconds) and then rapidly cooling it down. This process effectively kills harmful bacteria and pathogens while preserving most of the milk's nutritional value and taste. Pasteurization helps to make milk safer for consumption by reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses associated with raw milk.

       In addition to killing harmful bacteria, pasteurization also extends the shelf life of milk, allowing it to be stored for longer periods without spoiling. This is particularly important for the dairy industry, as it enables milk to be distributed and consumed safely on a larger scale. While some argue that pasteurization may destroy certain beneficial enzymes and nutrients in milk, the consensus among health experts is that the benefits of pasteurization in terms of food safety far outweigh any potential drawbacks.

    We need to mandate basic medicine and basic biology for everyone. It is hard to believe that Measles and other previously thought-eradicated diseases are making a comeback due to country-wide ignorance in areas of basic health and education of the same.

Georgia Partying Hardy on Campus

 Georgia Partying Hardy on Campus, The universities and youth of Georgia were having a block party like many youth in college on the weekends. But, there is a great pandemic going on! Do you have children, Do you let them play in the streets? That is the stance you must take with Covid-19. A mask mandate is essential unless you think killing off Georgia voters is your intent. People don't have commonsense. This is a real pandemic and you must mandate masks and PPE. If someone has bubonic plagus or measles, or the mumps they are not allowed at school. Covid-19 is deadly than measles or mumps. Mandating masks with fines is a message to the people that this pandemic is deadly. Asymptomatic people make this situation even worse, with people spreading the virus without knowing they are doing so. Without 100% compliance and testing, we will never get rid of this virus.  Do what is right, protect the people of Georgia. Children get upset because they can't play in the street, but at ...

     1.0 Automated Teller Machines 1.1   ATM Health Issues Microbes are the oldest forms of life on earth. Many types have existed for billions of years. Bacteria are a type of microorganism that is capable of growing on any surface including liquids and moist surfaces. A few pathogenic strains of bacteria are known to cause infectious diseases. The wide spread use of electronic technology is another source of contamination. 60% of all people us an ATM at least once a week. Public health concerns regarding the spread of bacteria and diseases via automated teller machines have become an issue to reduce the spread to the public. ATM centers are usually in air conditioned, cold and damp environments that favor the growth of microorganisms. The study involves the collection of samples by using cotton swabs from various ATM centers in Chennai. Sixty five samples were analyzed for the presence of predominant pathogenic bacteria. Among the 65 samples 27 (...
