For one thing, Schaffner claims, most of the testing that has been done so far, whether it's amateur science research or television "polls," has been done the wrong way. Before Schaffner's paper, there were two well-known "three-second rule" studies. Research published in peer-reviewed journals in 2007 by food scientist Paul Dawson of Clemson University, USA, and a 2014 press release by Anthony Hilton et al., Aston University, Birmingham, UK. In fact, the two universities used nearly the same survey methods, and the final results were the same. Both research looked at how long it takes for bacteria to transfer into food and found that bacteria transfer into food promptly when it comes into contact with a tainted surface. However, the two teams came to opposite conclusions. Conclusions about the extent of food contamination differ widely.
"In the type of floor we studied, even if it's wet food, the faster you pick it up, the less bacteria you spread," Aston University's Hilton said. So while claiming the "three-second rule" is accurate, Dawson of Clemson University disagrees, saying, "We discovered that there are enough bacteria to make people ill." Given these upheavals, Schaffner and his colleagues carefully tested different foods under more varied conditions.
So is it really safe to pick up and eat food on the floor? The answer is not as straightforward as the three-second rule, but depends on the condition of the ground and the kinds of bacteria that are attached to it. "If you drop food in the hospital, you likely don't want to eat it," Dawson suggested. Also, salmonella on the kitchen floor.
But in most cases, picking up and consuming a moderately dusty cookie is unlikely to harm the immune system due to the presence of bacteria on the floor. Eventually, the most important point is to keep floors and surfaces clean and in good hygiene.
The value of the three-second rule may be more mental than microbiological. At the very least, rules permit socially acceptable excuses to offset otherwise undesirable behavior.
3 seconds to pick up dropped food safe to eat?
From an early age, a question haunts us: Is dropped food safe to consume? One answer is that if you pick it up rapidly, it's completely fine. This is known as the "three second rule", which means that 3 seconds to pick up fallen food is safe to consume!
Similar rules occur all over the world, and in the United States they are known as the "5-second rule." Because of this, I don't believe there is much basis for these rules, which have become familiar themes at world science fairs.
According to a 2016 paper in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology by Rutgers University food scientist Donald Schaffner and others, the longer a food is tainted with bacteria, the more bacteria there will be. But the food is already infested with bacteria as soon as it hits the ground. Hence, it indicates that 3 or 5 seconds is the incorrect rule. Rather, the problem is humidity, not time 39bet-đua chó-game giải trí -đá gà-đá gà trực tuyến-đánh bài.
Wet foods (like watermelon) carry more bacteria than dry foods like bread and fudge. Carpets are also less likely to be spread by bacteria than tiles or stainless steel. This is because when the liquid containing the bacteria is used in the experiment, the bacteria on the carpet are absorbed into the liquid simultaneously. Hence, the 3-second rule, which is independent of these conditions, is straightforward. So why did Schaffner and his colleagues conduct an elaborate experiment measuring the rate of bacterial transmission more than 2,500 times?
