FDA OKs bacteria-eating virus to treat meat

WASHINGTON - A mixture of six bacteria-killing viruses can be safely sprayed on meat and poultry to combat common microbes that kill hundreds of people a year, federal health officials said Friday.

The mixture of special viruses, called bacteriophages, would target strains of Listeria monocytogenes, the Food and Drug Administration said in declaring it is safe to use. The viruses are designed to be sprayed on ready-to-eat meat and poultry products just before they are packaged.

The bacterium they target can cause a serious infection called listeriosis, primarily in pregnant women, newborns and adults with weakened immune systems. In the United States, an estimated 2,500 persons become seriously ill with listeriosis each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, 500 die.

Since you like finding websites, I have a request. Will you send some sites of happy human interest stories? They are out there, they just don't get much attention and I think we could all use a huge dose of "feel good" type of news. It might boost your spirits too. :D
Thanks for your help with this.

if so, what can your 'research' tell me about the prognoses of 'paraneoplastic neuropathies and cancers'? Then, read all my posts. Since I've both, and, have researched extensively through all that I deem to be legitimate sources, I really wonder what 'others' are saying or quoting out of context. It would be extremely useful in my writing to others who don't have a clue about either, nor really care to expend the energy to get any clue. That way I can prepare all true medically researched answers to same. Please put your energy into a constructive rather than destructive channel. Thank you. - j

so this meat is ok with you? not me

[dahlek]

But, you never ANSWERED MY question about cancers... Truly, you can cite actual research that indicates all complications are due to MEAT? Pray tell, provide me with the institutions doing the research. I would really like to know.

As for meat, knowing how it is processed before it is acquired is a smart consumer's 'given'.

Many people miss many ESSENTIAL certain nutritional components on some vegetarian diets...other diets not so. Can you tell me what diet you are on? I would really like to know...that and any supplements that you deem safe to consume.

I asked you to answer my questions about cancers and neuro s/e's. You have not- yet, but I've faith you will. Thank you.

If I wanted you to research, I'd have asked YOU, What I want to know, is what those of your philosophies avocate on such issues, especially since YOU and some acolytes seem to try to debunk anything MEDICAL on this site.. I would really like, not appreciate to see any valid, research-backed documentations other than some of the histrionices previously posted. Soo far, nothing practical has been rebutted, nothing medical has been cited negating realities, and so far, nothing of substance has been presented 'a la raison pour nous a vous 'd'etre. Forgive my bad French grammar, but, I do believe the point has been made.
Clearly I do NOT want you to do ANY research for me. I believe, & can prove, I can 'research' circles around all but the true best. Soo, How do YOU 'research" Blogs?
I am informed by many that you demonstrate a sense of humor, I've not found it YET... Show me. thank you very much

BTW, IF you'd read prior posts, I HAVE found cures, complex and probably not for even those 'chemically impaired' Thank you!

By the way you never responded to MY PM, Hummmm.

:confused: guess we will find out years from now how safe it is. probably after a oops...we didn't know it would cause THAT....

i haven't had time to look up the lonk cloudz. i will. i have heard the news reports. is my understanding correct? that the virus is only "deadly" to the bacteria? and not a virus that "human's" ( and i hope monkeys ) can get?

weren't we told that about the bird flu and mad cow?

i say we all just just eat choccy. :p
