MEAT RAISES INFECTION RISK IN WOMEN

Given how E.Coli works, this is not much of a bombshell, but its yet another confirmation of the folly of basing a diet on meat: A new study "builds on growing evidence that foods of animal origin, contaminated with Escherichia coli, can lead to urinary tract infections in women. The latest research from Penn [State] University in the US found that E.coli strains, isolated from patients with UTIs, were genetically related to E.coli strains from cows in the collection of strains at the Gastroenteric Disease Center." Even more ominously, "the researchers found that the E.coli causing the infections is resistant to antibiotics." Gee, wonder what could've cause that?
