Eating Chicken And Urinary Tract Infection Potential

Chicken Kaboobs On Grill

Can eating chicken lead to urinary tract infections?  It’s possible.  If you’re prone to developing urinary tract infections (UTI) you may want to incorporate some food-safety measures when eating chicken or other forms of poultry.

Researchers in Canada tested raw chicken samples selected from grocery stores and restaurants.

More than 60% of the samples had drug resistant strains of E.coli bacteria which are known to trigger UTIs.  Especially in those who are most prone to developing urinary or related problems.

Obviously eating raw chicken or any type of poultry is not recommended in any type situation.  Developing a UTI would be the least of your problems if you eat raw poultry.

The Canadian researchers didn’t study raw chicken to determine if eating chicken would cause UTIs.  However, they did determine the importance of the proper handling of raw chicken, poultry or any types of foods high at risk for carrying E.coli bacteria if you are at risk for UTI or have a compromised immune system.

Is It Really Your Fault That You’re Fat?
Expert Reveals How Packaged Foods Are The Likely Cause

As Americans, we represent the fattest nation on the planet. And that’s not a contest we should be so quick to win every year.

Mannie Barling knows this better than most, because he’s seen it from both sides – as a cancer patient who became obese and as an attorney for big healthcare.

“We pride ourselves in this country for having the safest food supply in the world, but nothing could be further from the truth,” said Barling, co-author of It’s Not Your Fault – Weight Gain, Obesity and Food Addiction (www.HowToEliminatePain.com). “It is the chemical additives like MSG, dyes, high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients used in the more than 14,000 packaged foods sold in the US that made us the most obese country on Earth.”

Barling served as in-house counsel two of the first HMOs in Los Angeles, including one that treated more than 13,000 patients a month.

Barling actively participated in the management of these clinics and convalescent hospitals including reviewing physician utilization, interviewing doctors and specialists and evaluating malpractice claims. This experience exposed him to some of the more dramatic patient outcomes that arose from obesity. But that’s not his only source of experience.

“In the 1990s, I was diagnosed with malignant colon cancer, Crohn’s disease, IBD, IBS, gout and arthritis, and I was given two years to live,” he added. Continue reading “Is It Really Your Fault That You’re Fat?” »

Rosacea may not sound like a familiar term, but its threat is all too real for many: As many as 78% of Americans have no knowledge about Rosacea, even though it affects about 16 million Americans each year.

The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has announced the estimated number of Americans now suffering from rosacea has increased to 16 million, while untold millions more may be in temporary remission.

April is designated as Rosacea Awareness Month by the NRS to alert the public to the warning signs of this red-faced, acne-like and often life-disruptive disorder, and the importance of seeking early diagnosis and treatment.

Rosacea Is A Chronic Condition

“Many people assume that rosacea is simply a sunburn or complexion problem that will eventually go away, and fail to realize they have a chronic condition that may get worse without medical treatment and lifestyle modifications,” said Dr. Jonathan Wilkin, chairman of the NRS medical advisory board.
