Rinse your sprouts with citric acid solution. And a question; Do you really think we trust the information spewed by the Big Corporation that says they are our Government. With a bunch of Monsanto ex employees in there, I think not! I'll take GMO food out of my diet but NOT organic sprouts, thank you very much.
250 million people eat eggs daily in America how many eat sproust daily I doubt ten thousand
I dry my sprouts out in dehydrator and consume powder capsules sprinkle on other food etc
Then you should be telling people to grow their own, not stopping to eat them, I don't buy sprouts, mainly cause I can grow them faster and cheaper and control the spread of the illnesses of mass produced who knows where my food has been issues.
Actually if you watch his other videos, he is just trying to warn you of the health risks. Though you might not might know be convinced he isn't a shill, he is just trying to warn you. Don't write him off just yet.
oh..
What is a "pig pharma?"
Man… I just- The talking. It hurts. Diction, man…. USE SOME DICTION.
I do not get why so many people down-voted this video?
this is is right no sprouts eat GMOS, MSG AND HFCS 😉 .
Actually I agree with you ( except the vaccine thing). I am wary about this gut but he did do an excellent video addressing the problems with non organic foods and their pesticide contamination. He pretty much said buy organic fruits and veggies whenever possible or if you have the space grow your own fruit.
Isn't the bacteria/virus killed when the seed is dry?
It's a two minute video, you should probably watch the rest of it.
What I derive from this video is that hamburger (if you eat it) and sprouts are two foods that should be managed in the safety of your own control. I would never buy sprouts from a grocery store, market, or restaurant – wash your hands before you touch, rinse seeds and sprouts often, eat greens when you harvest them, and clean your tools every cycle….and eggs are useless.
ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT, ALWAYS TRYING TO CONTROL US, "don't eat natural organic whole foods, you might get sick. instead eat from out fast food chains and poisoned, tortured factory meats. this guy is just another puppet that this god-forsaken government has created to 'act educated' and guide the mindless masses while m.i.c. is in the background building fema camps and creating mass pandemics through the de-naturalization of our foods (codex alimentarious) so they can follow the Georgia guide stones and continue to eradicate human kind through disease from poor nutrition and have a select few live supreme on earth, but still thinking its Okay to dump toxic waste in our oceans; oh they will pay! THE REVOLUTION IS COMING BE READY!
I am going to eat what I want to why because I can
What a bullshit video. This has nothing to do with the dangers of eating raw sprouts, it has EVERYTHING to do with the unsafe handling/storage of food in the mass-production agriculture industry. Grocery stores are rife with contaminated produce. Grow them yourself and practice safe growing/food prep skills. We should all be growing some of our own produce anyway, even if it's just the odd plate of greens here and there. It's called self-sufficiency.
Look people I know no body here is going to agree with me but the salmonella IS on the out side of the egg. People with low immune systems get sick when they either they crack eggs then eat with out washing their hands first or the person cracking the egg gets some shell in the egg or gets the egg on there hands where they had previously had been touching the egg shell. The eggs come from a very nasty environments. When eggs are tested for it, it is only found on the out side. If it wasn't shouldn't everybody who drinks raw egg be very familiar with salmonella poisoning. I drink raw eggs and i have never gotten sick from it.
This guy is getting these statistical numbers from out of his ass.
Doctors generally are not nutritionists.And nutritionists sometimes think they are doctors.Maybe you could invite one of the neighbors over,and let them taste test your sprouts,and see if they going to be out on the front lawn on all 4's barking at the moon.Hey I don't really like taking chances with my health. I don't think taking sprouts out of your diet will suddenly put you into an unhealthy plunge.If you feel you have to eat sprouts,maybe the USP food grade hydrogen peroxide (not the common type),could be used to bath your sprouts without sacrificing any nutritional gains.It merely makes free oxygen which kills most bacteria.
Are not eggs used in the culture of vaccines? Another reason why the CDC would not condemn their consumption? Of course it's all done in a "sterile" environment.
Heard more about salmonella in chicken meat__
Didn't say how every egg has salmonella in it, huh, alfalfa sprouts have 67 times less salmonella than eggs. People eat runny yolked eggs all the time though, so you should be able to deduce, if you don't already know this, that mostly the salmonella in eggs, beef, sprouts ect. isn't enough to cause an illness………
*The commentator sounds like a bigot!
You will all be happy to know that following 'failings' in the way establishment-news is delivered, (according to the international broadcasting trust) they have decided to change news delivery slightly to 'more engage the audience'. (as the current formula is unpopular)
Expect the same sort of information but just with different wording & in a different tone!
Gladly eat raw foods straight from my garden , the fields , wild honey at times , I've drank Brook water at various times since I was kid , tree sap from Maples , blend up 7 raw eggs all the time ~ drink that and if anything at all I feel better when I do . Anything the FDA approves will usually cause diseases , not NATURE though , raw milk was also perfectly fine before pasteurization , that's where the GLUTATHIONE is Baby .
Eat Honey & build soil structure through remineralization of rock dusts ~
If you grow your own organic food you won't have to listen to govt. warnings. The Govt. wants you to eat their govt. approved foods from govt approved disease factories like Monsanto.
I drank milk while it was still in the top of the strainer and warm from the cow when I was a kid 50 odd years ago. My whole family drank raw milk and ate farm fresh eggs and grew our own veggies for years. We're all still kicking. I will only eat NON GMO food these days.
just spray your seeds with a few drops of peroxide or GSE (grapfruit seed extract) when you leave them in water for the first time; there it will be no mold or any other problems; this video is misleading and trying to instil fear; don't leave in fear = the lowest vibrational state one can be; just do what is right for your health
Rule of life 54 : Always assume a white coat man is lying
How effective would using something like iodine solution be? Soaking and rinsing the seeds with iodine added to the sprout water.
This guy must work for the AMA… They only want you to eat GMOs chemical, BPA and hormones, but organic sprouts are poison. How Stupid!
If not properly disinfected, all seeds have the possibility of carrying E.coli causing bacteria or other foodborne pathogens. Disinfect seeds prior to sprouting by soaking in a 2% bleach solution (1 tsp. bleach to 1 cup hot tap water) for 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly before sprouting.

So now you know it's official. War on Sprouts. Yup. Listen to government agencies. They only want the best for you 😉
Nothing is wrong with growing sprouts, they are healthy and it might cut down on the Doctors pay and the Pharmaceuticals pay also……that's all……you have to be clean with all you do reqarding food, so what is the hype…..be healthy not fearful…..
I grow my own produce and have never had any issues with anything. BUT I have gotten sick off of store bought produce. So WHATEVER.
No where did he say not to eat Alfalfa sprouts. He gave statistics and information. Are there other things as healthy or healthier than alfalfa sprouts? Yes. I think I'll avoid store bought alfalfa sprouts.
Just grow your own sprouts, and youll never get salmonella poisoning.
Is Salmonella a threat when growing your own if you are hygenic?
Ate a raw cucumber from my garden today but washed and peeled it first. Fresh green onions, ditto. The numbers on eggs compared to sprouts means jack because a lot more eggs are eaten than sprouts. I do eat meat but I don't eat raw meat. I very rarely eat eggs but I don't eat raw eggs.
Most annoying voice ever!
Did anyone not get that this video actually was showing how safe the sprouts were….I think the video was a bit sarcastic.
Yeah right , they (the evil ones ruling us) dont want us to be independent !! So , i just bought my first bag of alfalfa seeds …..
you better poison us with you miracle poisonous medication. please, shut up. your voice is soo convincing they I will listen. your data are worth nothing
What about other sprouts, like mung beans?
I bet you this is just a pathetic attempt by a food corporation to scare consumers away from sprouts because of how easy they are to grow at home. Wouldn't want consumers to start eating things that can be home grown when there's other foods that need to be store bought now, would we?
Why don't you get to any conclusions in any of your videos? It's like you're not even trying.
I love all your videos and you have radically changed my diet for the better. But please add in the video that if you grow ur own sprouts, then you will be fine. I still love u but me and my sprouts are sensitive.
what about Canada or other countries? is this just usa?
There's nothing wrong with alfalfa sprouts! grow your own and you'll be safe
NO BURGERS????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video, the dislikes are likely due to your misleading title. I understand that you're highlighting how small the likelihood of bacterial contamination is compared to some other store-bought products. But you should mention that cooking and/or growing your own organic sprouts from trustworthy seed vendors are the best ways to minimize the chance of consuming contaminated sprouts.
Do people even watch videos anymore before basing their judgement off of the title? He is actually contesting the notion that sprouts are dangerous. Use your brains and watch until the end.
sprouts are contaminating my salmonella
When forced away from nature the body will suffer and wilt. When turning back to nature the body will flourish. Seems to me the establishment would rather the sufferer and the wilted. "Eat On I Say" Let The Raw Begin …. Shout …Sprout!
Perhaps ending the video title with a question mark would have yielded more likes.
the cdc and ama are not your friends..
This video is sponsored by Monsanto! It's against home grown foods. False FDA & CDC data. I've been eating Alfalfa sprouts for over 60 years. In southern India this is a main food seasoning staple.
This video is completely FULL OF SHIT!
Make the sprouts at home yourself! Not much risk of food poisoning. Very cheap. Very beneficial. Check out my channel! I will teach you how!
Any tips on how to avoid salmonella when sprouting all these different seeds? Thanks for the video
someone wants you to think the bacteria naturally gets put in your food.
This guys voice is insufferable
it's bullshit. Alfalfa is king. Never listen to mainstream shit. Dr.Sebi knows best.
I won't even listen to you.
LOUDER😲
This dude sounds like he’s about to cry
I used to love eating these, they were even used in certain fast food restaurants but all of a sudden disappeared! Most supermarkets don't even carry Alfalfa Sprouts anymore.
takes hit of cigarette
Sprouts are killing the childrens
😂🤣
1 in 99 burgers and 1 in 67 sprouts, but what if you grow them yourself, I am more than sure those numbers drops dramatically, especially if you get them from a good source.
Alfa – eggs
Tell of consumption
Egg out numbr
Falfa by what
One m to one ?
Best way to eat eggs is lightly cooked (soft boiled or poached) so that the white part is cooked, but the yolk is still runny. You get the most nutrients that way.
9 seconds in boiling water
He is worry wart….
Just be hygienic and eat n enjoy…
I get the comparison made indicates alfalfa is safe. The video title is sarcastic. But your diction and voice man. Its absolutely aweful. Like a bad version of Capt Kirk
The FDA? Ha!
its not because of the sprouts,
Its because of the preparation.
Don't fall for this papagamda. It's just over inflated fear mongearing to scare people into not eating healthy so you'll take their poison, I mean prescription pills. That's what the CDC does, right??? #coronavirusbs
I did not get entirely the point? Are the safe, what about other sprouts?
is this a joke?
Now i'm scared…
Sprouts are amazing.*
Eat raw!*
Terrain theory all the way!*
*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
100 cases? So stop eating something that could literally help cure cancer, because 100 people out of millions, got sick? Lol what am I missing here?
Imagine someone is thinking about eating sprouts and they read the title of this vid, and that's the excuse they need subconsciously, to not eat them.
Hit the sprouts with UVC for 60 seconds, and if you are one of the unlucky 100 with contaminated sprouts, you'll kill off 98% of the viable bacteria.
They are good for you this is bs.
They are good for u dumb video
Don’t eat alfalfa sprouts because they taste disgusting
I eat them raw all the time for years .
Grow your own!!
Don't listen to this bullish.
Get a ozone machine and add water and soak the sprouts in it for 10-15 min. Then let it dry.
Lmfao…yall are stupid
Need to be clean when sprouting, rinse well 2 or 3 times a day.
How many cases was home or purchased. I've ate sprouts raw and cooked from home. Never sick
This video was posted 11 years ago. Based off of research that was done 16 years ago.
Soooo 1/67 sprout containers is contaminated, but there are only 100 cases of sprout-induced salmonella poisoning each year? I’d say this is a non-issue
This video is full of propaganda fear mongering lies to keep you from eating healthy
Of course, if you get your seeds out of some dirt and rinse them with liquid fecal matter instead of clean water, you can't be surprised.
The rest of us, will not get any diarrhea.
talking way too slow
i think this is the government keeping people sick so they can benefit from people buying medicine
He is obviously an agent for the government don't listen to him😊
