Red meat chemical 'damages heart', say US scientists

[haikuman]

"A chemical found in red meat helps explain why eating too much steak, mince and bacon is bad for the heart say US scientists.

A study in the journal Nature Medicine showed that carnitine in red meat was broken down by bacteria in the gut.

This kicked off a chain of events which resulted in higher levels of cholesterol and an increased risk of heart disease.

Dieticians warned there may be a risk to people taking carnitine supplements."

One older study claims:

What is the death rate from E-coli?
Answer:
Per CDC study covering 1992 to 1997, the average number of e.coli. illnesses per year is estimated at 111,000. There are a multitude of e.coli.; these numbers exclude those that can cause illnesses that are not life threatening.

The average annual deaths from the 111,000 illnesses from life-threatening e.coli. was 91.
