Canning is one of the oldest ways to preserve food, and currently one of the best ways to bring seafood from around the world to your plate. Most canned fish is prepared for the process by first brining in saltwater to draw out moisture and curb bacterial growth, followed by canning in oil or water. The high heat from canning kills the microbes in fish, but not every bacteria is removed in the canning process.

The Unhealthiest Canned Fish You Should Avoid

Which came first, orange the color or orange the fruit? According to Mental Floss, the color orange wasn't used until the 1400s, while we have records of the fruit dating back at least 100 years before that. Oranges were first found in tropical Asia, and since then the citrusy fruit and subsequent juice have found their way around the world. Unfortunately, not all orange juices are created equally.

Love eating ice-cold oysters-on-the-half-shell in the summertime? Enjoy a large bowl of mussels cooked in garlic, wine, butter and parsley? Then you may be a bit discouraged to learn that, as per Megan Schaltegger at Delish, both oysters and mussels "contain 'disturbingly high levels of fiberglass.'" Perhaps it's a good time to curtail your consumption a bit, at least in the interim.

Canned tuna is the second most popular type of seafood in the U.S. after shrimp (according to the National Fisheries Institute). Naturally, then, there are more varieties out there than you can shake a stick at, from light tuna to albacore to tuna packed in water to tuna packed in oil with carrots and peas. But the best canned tuna out there, at least according to celebrity chef David Chang, is from the company Dongwon, specifically its Tuna with Hot Pepper Sauce.

It only takes a couple of hours, give or take, for a deli-fresh rotisserie chicken to go from under-the-warming-lamp hot to icebox frigid. How long it takes for it to go from cold to spoiled is an entirely different question. Although stashing your leftover bird in the fridge does slow down the bacteria colony that's trying to set up shop in your chillbox, it doesn't completely prevent it from becoming tomorrow's science experiment. After your rotisserie chicken goes in the fridge, you have three or four days to eat it before time's up.

Here's How Long Rotisserie Chicken Lasts In The Fridge

A red wine is the sum of several important factors. Terroir, grape varietal, weather, and the vintner’s skill conspire to create a sumptuous beverage that shares a color but varies wildly elsewhere. This diversity makes drinking red wine fun, and any pour of something new and unfamiliar can double as a mini-adventure filled with enticing flavor possibilities.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

We have a problem with sucralose. Found in many zero-calorie foods and drinks, the artificial sweetener doesn't get broken down by the body, and as a new study shows that means it's potentially damaging the microorganisms at the very bottom of aquatic food webs.



					
			

"We can't break down sucralose, and a lot of microorganisms can't break it down, either, because it's a really tough molecule that doesn't degrade easily," says marine bioscientist Tracey Schafer, from the University of Florida.
"So there are a lot of questions about how it is affecting the environment and whether it's something that could impact our microbial...

From late May to September, it's peach season up and down the east coast of the United States. Farmers markets and orchards are suddenly flush with the fuzzy, delicious, juicy fruit piled high in baskets, perfect for eating fresh, baking into peach pies, or canning for cold winter nights when we're reminiscing about the warmer weather. If you trek out to the orchard and fill up a few baskets of peaches, you'll need to store these stone fruits appropriately, even in the short term.

On July 3rd, the FDA prohibited the use of brominated vegetable oil (BVO) in food and beverages. Typically, we see brominated vegetable oil in citrus-flavored drinks, mostly sodas. The good news is that all the big boy soda brands quit using it long ago, but a lot of off-brand and store-brand sodas still do.
