Here Are 15 Food Safety Facts That You May Have Not Known

It changes the texture more than the taste. Still good, though.

I don't care at all, it is still chocolate!

It actually is, because most of the true cacao film is now on the top, and you do ‘t have to dig so much to find it! Your welcome! ;)

Sometimes it tastes even better...but it's a personal taste of mine.

How many times I dip children is none of your business.

And that's why we should only do it if we are with family such as parents

Um, comma? Unless you’re a specific type of household..... ;)

I always thought of it as a joke.

Hahaha. Or “blowing the germs” away would make it okay. 😭😭

Hahahahaha

I've always treated it as a joke.

It's air itself. Don't take another breath! It's covered in germs.

Unless it kills you, infects you with something that gets you sick, gives you a parasitic infection, contaminated you food with something toxic.... but yeah, it does build up your immune system.

That will kill bacteria and such, but sometimes what makes us sick is the toxins generated by bacteria and mold during their life on the food. Reheating does not eliminate them.

Heat doesn't denature all proteins in the mold or bacteria

um, no. the bacteria creates toxins that heating will not kill. I had a food sanitation license & ran a school kitchen.

"If your food was around long enough for dangerous levels of bacterial toxins to build up, you REALLY need to consider putting dates on things." And throw it out rather than heat it up.

Safely you can only do this once. A second or third reheat you are running risks

BTW, in Celsius that is about 75, in case you live in any of the 98% of the nations in the world that use metric system.

Yay France. Thanks for the info.

And it can be as chocolatey as you want, too - just add powdered cocoa!

That's abnormal.

I actually thought the milk tasted like raspberries and thought it was residue left over from my raspberry cranberry juice.

If it smells a bit like fart then that's normal (for pasteurised milk). If it's bad you'll immediately tell the difference. If you're not sure just ask your girlfriend to smell it. Fun for a lifetime.

Milk has a funny smell, because of the heating process. It smells a bit bad. A bit like fart. You just never noticed before because the heating also breaks down the lactose a little into glucose (done more aggressively to make lactose-free) which sweetens it, and it's just generally tasty. Also, because it's usually quite cold so any smell is unlikely to be casually detected. Though, now you're on alert. You're effectively traumatised by milk.

Snap! Oh, yes.

the cat was drinking out of it

I always just assumed it was like dust or something that falls into it? Which is weird, because it's not dusty...

Two things: First, evaporation causes the many other things beside hydrogen and oxygen to be concentrated and more pungent. As the elements in the water settle some will rise to the surface and others will sink. A quick stir solves that. Secondly, chlorine, the most common chemical used to kill germs in water, is a greenhouse gas and is gradually being phased out to combat climate change. For many years you could let your glass of water sit by your bedside and the chlorine would evaporate so the water tasted better. But it has been replaced by chloramine, a compound of ammonia and chlorine that doesn't evaporate. So when you let it sit the chlorine taste becomes more powerful. (My taste buds are very sensitive to chlorine and so I must keep my bedside water in a closed container.)

wait your water smells thats not normal

Often it's the "sleep taste" you have in your mouth that makes it seem odd.

from the enzyme in your mouth

The dust and air borne particles settling in the room overnight, settle onto the water.

I think i heard somewhere that it is because a bit of it has evaporated - so the concentration of minerals in the water is a bit higher - i'm not certain though

Maybe sulfur?
