WASHINGTON—Leafy greens, eggs, and tuna are on the top of a list of the 10 riskiest foods regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Those and seven other foods account for nearly 40 percent of all foodborne outbreaks linked to FDA-regulated food. That's no reason to forgo the occasional salad Niçoise, says the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which authored the report, nor need one pass up tomatoes, sprouts, and berries, even though those foods are also on the list. But the nonprofit watchdog group says the presence of so many healthy foods on such a list is exactly why the United States Senate should follow the House and pass legislation that reforms our fossilized food safety laws.
The FDA is responsible for regulating produce, seafood, egg and dairy products, as well as typical packaged foods such as cookie dough and peanut butter—nearly 80 percent of the food supply. More than 1,500 separate, definable outbreaks were associated with the top 10 riskiest FDA-regulated foods, causing nearly 50,000 reported illnesses. Since most foodborne illnesses are never reported, these outbreaks are only the tip of a large, hulking iceberg.

People drink so much water that it screws up the concentrations of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) in the blood, which can interfere with the function of the heart--and kill you.

Believe it or not I had water intoxication a few years ago.. I was on the slim fast diet and drank tons of water a day like a few gallons. I ate only a very small meal at dinner and that was it. Ended up all lethargic and dizzy. Went to the ER and they hooked me up to an IV right away and admitted me to the hospital. There they replace the electrolytes that were so diluted in my blood with IV sodium, magnesium, and potassium. It took a long time to recover from water intoxication, and to this day my sodium is always low.
