Features: In today's modern life where enjoying delicious food has become a part of people's daily routine, this book presents a "blacklist" of unsafe foods: wild game, undercooked boiled eggs, eggs with only one side fried, tenderly pan-fried beef patties, raw shellfish, and various cream desserts. Written by experienced American journalist Nicholas Fox after extensive interviews, meticulous research, and scientific analysis, this book convincingly points out that many puzzling new diseases are closely related to people's unhealthy dietary habits. The alarming outbreaks in countries like the UK and France, the massive E. coli O157 outbreaks in Japan and other nations, the contaminated hamburger patties and apple juice incidents in the United States, and the toxic in the Gulf of Mexico are all showcased in this book. These incidents paint a shocking yet thought-provoking picture: they reveal how the rapid and blind expansion of human activities and dietary habits have become breeding grounds for deadly viruses and bacteria, which in turn are increasingly punishing humanity. Through vivid, concrete, and thrilling examples, the book thoroughly and truthfully exposes the hidden dangers in food, convincingly demonstrating that many mysterious new diseases are closely related to people's unhealthy eating habits and their ignorance of food safety. This book offers valuable insights not only for those who have a taste for wild game but also for medical professionals and general readers.
