From the preeminent journalist and authority on contaminated food, a one-of-a-kind guide for safeguarding against food hazards

Slight fever. Nausea. A rumbling in the stomach. Diarrhea. What you might think is the flu was probably something you ate. Food-borne illness afflicts 81,000,000 Americans each year, killing 9,000 annually, and yet too many people ignore the fatal hazards lurking in our markets, restaurants, and kitchens.

Now food-pathogen expert Nicols Fox offers a useful, informative guide to preventing, diagnosing, and surviving a food-borne illness. Far more serious than a slight discomfort in the abdomen, food-based pathogens can have long-term physical consequences, leaving victims with lifelong impairment of the digestive system and damage to the lungs, ears, kidneys, brain, and heart. Fox surveys the complicated terrain of food-borne disease, profiling common and uncommon pathogens such as Salmonella, hepatitis A, E. coli, Campylobacter, and Cyclospora. She also outlines practical advice for dealing with common symptoms and illness-prevention techniques for the home and restaurants. Combining the real stories of victims of food-borne illness with the most up-to-date information about emerging food-borne pathogens, It Was Probably Something You Ate is a sourcebook you may not be able to live without..

Additives in Water-borne Coatings covers both current technology and the future prognosis for the key additives used in water-borne coatings today. It brings together international expertise to provide a comprehensive, practical overview of the field, its direction, and selection of key additives currently employed for in-depth treatment of their use, behaviour and scope by expert practitioners in those additives. This timely publication includes two excellent plenary chapters reviewing the developments together with the regulatory and legislative scene in the overall field. It also contains seven in-depth chapters devoted to key additive types, specifically; rheology modifiers, matting agents, surface active agents, dispersants, defoamers, and biocides. In addition, the book provides: ·a systematic approach to additive selection - additive rules - for the development of a coating ·a good understanding of the biocidal degradation effects and the key biocide strengths and weaknesses in addressing them ·the reader with a thorough understanding of silica-based matting agents and their mode of action ·useful overviews of water borne dispersants, silicone surface active agents and cellulosic and associative thickener rheology modifiers This key book amalgamates some of the latest developments in this field and provides an authoritative source of information for the research community and those in the industry, as well as providing invaluable information to graduate and postgraduate students..

Offering insight into the mystery of obesity and the related metabolic complexities we call adult chronic disease. Collectively we understand the importance of keeping our food supply clean and free of pathogens. In fact we call the illness that arise from eating spoiled food – ‘Food Borne Disease’. We have public health officials who inspect our food supplies from the farm to the grocery store. Our restaurants and kitchens have many procedures in place for the safety of the food we eat. We have more choices, better cooking methods, and industrial size appliances gracing our homes today than ever before. In fact we are making our new appliances so complex that most of us will be finding out how to use our convection ovens in time for them to become obsolete. Food borne disease, then, is commonly thought of a problem with spoiled food. This book, ‘Why You Can’t Have Your Cake & Eat It Too’, offers a unique perspective on the perplexing problem of obesity, insulin resistance, and it’s unmistakable connection to the way we nourish ourselves with food. The what, who, and when of the evolution of our obesity epidemic is described in language and metaphor that will create understanding. We cannot solve our current public health crisis of obesity with the same level of thinking that created it. We must see it with fresh eyes, and begin to take action on a very individual level. The steps to make these individual changes are presented in a way that provides resources and plans of action. Action is going to be the largest part of this understanding. If we had salmonella or staphylococcal food poisoning affecting 65% of the population, there would be a significant commitment from the public health sector. Yet, we have a food borne disorder affecting 65% of our population and we are told we have to push back and work out. This hasn’t worked and we still say the same thing. It is the author's hope that as you understand insulin resistance and how uniquely individual it is, you will have the knowledge to recover your health and attain whatever body size you desire..
