The Telegraph<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I know some people buy their Christmas presents in July, but soon they will be able to buy their turkey in the height of summer too. And keep it fresh until December \u2013 and possibly beyond.<\/p>\n

\n

How? Well, it\u2019s due to a too-good-to-be-true substance called bisin. This preservative occurs naturally in certain types of bacteria (eg, Bifodobacterium longum) that are harmless to humans. Microbiologists at the University of Minnesota discovered bisin by accident when studying organisms that populate the human gut. We are told it is safe to use. Its seemingly magical powers are said to be based on its ability to kill the bacteria that trigger decomposition in the fresh proteins found in meat, dairy, eggs and fish (but not fresh vegetables or fruit). It also prevents the growth of food-poisoning bacteria such as E.coli, salmonella and listeria.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

So is this end of the sell-by date? If so, is it something to be applauded \u2013 or to be concerned about? Personally, I find something unnatural and disturbing about cheese that never moulds or milk that never sours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Number of deaths for leading causes of death<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Heart disease: 616,067<\/li>\n
  • Cancer: 562,875<\/li>\n
  • Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 135,952<\/li>\n
  • Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 127,924<\/li>\n
  • Accidents (unintentional injuries): 123,706<\/li>\n
  • Alzheimer’s disease: 74,632<\/li>\n
  • Diabetes: 71,382<\/li>\n
  • Influenza and Pneumonia: 52,717<\/li>\n
  • Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 46,448<\/li>\n
  • Septicemia: 34,828<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n
    Nearly every one of these leading causes of death in the United States has been proven to be reduced by a few things:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • A natural and balanced diet of raw vegetables, low sugar intake and foods that have not gone through preservation or processing<\/li>\n
    • 30 minutes a day of an elevated heart rate<\/li>\n
    • A normal to low body fat index (which can be achieved by the above two things)<\/li>\n
    • Luck<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
      I’m very confident that our milk or turkey lasting for years in the fridge is not natural and will only lead to more cancer and diseases. Science doesn’t perfect what occurs naturally.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Telegraph: I know some people buy their Christmas presents in July, but soon they will be able…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-Lh","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":310,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2009\/05\/19\/my-thoughts-on-food-inc\/","url_meta":{"origin":2931,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 My Thoughts on “Food, Inc.”","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"May 19, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Below, is a trailer on a new independent film called, \"Food, Inc.\" and I was lucky enough to be invited to a screening of this movie last night.
