Does cadbury chocoltes really have salmonella? And if so, is it really bad for our health?

The news said so but the makers of Cadbury said that if it really has Salmonella only in limited amount which can be tolerated by the human system..BUT remember that different persons react differently to bacteria especially young ones so at the latest I heard, they gathered those chocolates known to have been infected and threw it away (don't know where ). Salmonella is the one causing the Typhoid fever..that can kill.Hope this helps. God bless

I take probiotics.  I use them for my IBS (stomach problems) and whenever I take antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection. There are no adverse effects, as these are naturally occuring substances located in your body (and in yogurt!)  I'd check with your MD first...but I'm pretty sure they'd tell you the same :)

Definitely misleading especially considering more people cause havoc on a Saturday night through drink ! I don't think the NHS has many people overeating chocolate!

No, asthma and chocolate, as well as other sweets, are not related.  Asthma is a condition of your respiratory system, not your gastronomic system.  You're fine to eat what you please as long as you don't have an allergic reaction.

Chocolate contains methylxanthine alkaloids in the form of theobromine and caffeine, that cause constriction of arteries, increased heart rate, and central nervous system stimulation. These effects can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, and increased urinations. More advanced symptoms of toxicity include excitability, increased respirations and heartbeat, stiffness, seizures and exaggerated reflexes. \nCertain types of chocolate contain higher amounts of methylxanthines, baking chocolate containing the highest and white chocolate containing the least. Dogs freely ingest toxic amounts of chocolate if it is left accessible. A potentially lethal dose in a 16 pound. dog is only one pound of milk chocolate. People stop eating chocolate before ingesting toxic levels. \n\nCardiac failure, seizures, coma, and death can result if the chocolate ingestion is not found within four to six hours and treated appropriately. The length of action of the methylxanthines is usually 12 to 36 hours. In dogs that chocolate ingestion is detected early, the prognosis is good. \n\nIf your dog has gotten into chocolate, you should note the type, estimate the amount eaten, and then call your veterinarian for recommendations. You will probably need to take your dog in for examination and evaluation of heart rate. If your veterinarian is not available, you should seek emergency care. We recommend that you keep your chocolate in an unreachable location; an ounce of prevention is better than an ounce of ingestion.

Now you've got me scared and for good reason too.\nWhat can we the consumer do about this anyway?\nIt's all up to us the consumer as our own government doesn't seem to give a hoot about what we eat or put on our skin or what we feed our beloved pets either.\nThis is as shameful as it can get and to think that no one cares to do anything about any of this is even more scary.\nI for one appreciate you bringing this to my attention now.\nWouldn't it be a wonderful world if our own government would research and define what's safe and not safe for us to eat and use?\nI would have never guessed that I had eaten road kill or worse or given my dog or cat that and worse. Everything listed is totally disgusting by any ones standards but unfortunately not our own governments, shame on them for not protecting us as we have trusted them to do so, shame on them!!!!\nAgain I thank you for bring this to my attention.

"paradoxically" the CDC still recommend the use of these proven immunization techniques?\n\nOur drinking water contains measurable levels of chlorine.  It's there to kill the "bugs". Chlorine almost certainly increases cancer risk over extended periods of time.  If it wasn't there, we'd all die of cholera & typhoid in a matter of months.  Your choice!\n\nThimerosol may well pose some health risk (though the alleged links to specific conditions are tentative at best), but so does everything.  If you really cared about children's health, instead of promoting this dubious tale, you would be campaigning to make helmets mandatory for children in cars.  Literally thousands & thousands more children suffer from head injuries in car accidents (that could be prevented by helmets) than suffer consequences as a result of preservatives in vaccines.\n\nDo your homework!

It's bad for you, most of it anyway.\n\nBut if you only eat it once in a while you should be okay.

Chocolates in moderate amount are healthy especially if the sweetener used was from fruits, honey and flower. It is one of the natural sources of arginine. "Arginine is necessary for adults because after the age of thirty there is almost a complete cessation of its secretion from the pituitary gland." -Dr. Earl Mindell, Vitamin Bible \n\nBad boys will not be bad for us if we will be of use for them to become good.

They had been claiming that their fries were gluten free and contained no animal products.  It has been revealed that McDonald's fries do contain an animal product - Milk. They also contain wheat. \n\nThere are thousands and thousands of people around the world are allergic to wheat (mainly because of the gluten in wheat). The sentiment is that the company could have let us know that wheat and milk were being added to its French Fries.\n\nThree lawsuits have been filed against McDonalds for failure to disclose all ingredients.  The ingredients they left out were:  Milk, gluten and partially hydrogenated oils.\n\nThe sources are an article from Medical News Today and the list of ingredients from the McDonalds website.

It could be that your body is getting too overwhelmed by the sugar. I seriously suggest you see a doctor and have that checked out. And I would stay out of the chocolates for now.

There is nothing wrong with eating chocolate.As a matter of fact, chocolate on it's own is a slow acting sugar due to the fat content.\n\nNever use chocolate to cover a low sugar.\n\nEnjoy your chocolate and just remember to count carbos of those chocolate muffins etc.It is less carbos to just eat plain old chocolate rather than thing with chocolate flavorings.It's all a carb counting game.

It is not wheat and dairy that you have to careful of. You should avoid or cut down on the consumption of spicy food, fried food, chocolates and coffee for a while. I tried it and they disappeared. Try it!!

Just a little FYI.  ANY food that comes from plants, such as flour, corn(even canned) pancake mix, bread, etc. will have small traces of bugs in it.  Disgusting, I know, but this is mandated by the US FDA.  A certain percentage of bugs and debris are allowed into our food.  I don't remember what the percentage is right now, though.  I saw this on dateline a while back.

Yes. Many examples:\n\nSalmonela - leave raw chicken meat for three days outside of the fridge and then eat it. You can try with eggs, too.\n\nCholera - start with traveling to foreign countriesand look to consume raw or undercooked seafood from warm coastal waters subject to sewage contamination. \n\nI guess, you get the idea. It's possible to get yourself a disease.
