Drug-Resistant Bacteria kill 70,000 Americans in 2009

Antibiotics in the food chainAnd so we get the news stories–salmonella outbreaks, E. coli scares, and MRSA eruptions.


Last year, about 70,000 Americans died from drug-resistant bacterial infections. To stem the tide, the FDA and Congress are looking to ban routine use of antibiotics in animal feedlots. Is this a slap in the face of agribusiness or a needed restriction?


(Of more importance to me is, how can we help eradicate this problem with IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense?)
