Steamed rice can be dangerous for a health

News24xx.com - A group of American scientists, after a comprehensive study of the properties of some cereals, came to an unexpected conclusion. It turned out that boiled rice can be a danger to health because of the harmful microbe Bacillus cereus.

Scientists in the course of research have found that the microbe Bacillus cereus lives in the soils in which rice is grown, which, when released into the human body, activates the production of toxins that can lead to severe poisoning. Symptoms of the disease are similar to salmonellosis. In the practice of doctors, cases of death from Bacillus cereus were recorded before, but so far it hasn’t been clarified how the microbe enters the body.

The microbe "settles" in raw rice and doesn’t manifest itself in any way until the grass is cooked. The pathogen is activated and becomes functional. To avoid the sad consequences, scientists recommend not to eat rice immediately after cooking, but first hold the dish in the refrigerator for a while. Then the microbe will lose its harmful qualities and the dish will become absolutely harmless and even, helpful.
