Few people know that some 70% of food-related gastro-intestinal infections and diseases can be attributed to incorrect storage and product handling practices at home.

Contrary to bodybuilding routines and Rocky movie scenes, consuming raw eggs is not recommended because – as confirmed already in the second half of the past century – avidin (a protein of raw egg whites quickly decomposed by heat treatment) prevents the absorption of biotin (which is a part of the B vitamin family).
