The opinion of an ignorant, inexperienced, completely-sold-out
industry whore. Be aware of Berezow and others like him intent on influencing food safety regulations from local to federal levels. He seems to be an editor of RealClearScience; what sort of name is that? No credible organization would use such a name. So, an idiot like him will work to influence government policy? Is he on monsanto's payroll?

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Alex Berezow says Europe's E.coli outbreak a reminder that microbes lurk in many places
He says the FDA cracked down on interstate transport of Amish raw milk, banned by federal law
He says serious sickness linked to raw milk, juice sold legally within states
Berezow: Consuming raw foods risks health. Raw milk and juice should not be for sale

Editor's note: Alex B. Berezow is the editor of RealClearScience. He holds a Ph.D. in microbiology.

(CNN) -- The strain of E. coli that has killed at least 25 people and sickened more than 2,600 others in Europe is a terrifying reminder that killer microbes lurk in places where we least expect them. Though it is not a reason to panic, this incident should force us to rethink some important food safety issues.

One good place to start would be to completely ban the sale of raw milk and juice.
