    Salmonella can ride water into tomatoes (AP)

    In this June 10, 2008 file photo, a worker separates tomatoes at the sprawling Central de Abastos market in Mexico City. Pick a tomato in the blazing sun and plunge it into cold water. Instead of cleaning it, you might have contaminated it. As the FDA painstakingly tracks the source of the nationwide salmonella outbreak, this example shows the farm isn't the only place tomatoes can become tainted — and checking things like water quality and temperature control in packing houses and other supply stops is one key to safety.  (AP Photo/Gregory Bull, File)AP - Pick a tomato in the blazing sun and plunge it straight into cold water. If that happened on the way to market, it might be contaminated. Too big of a temperature difference can make a tomato literally suck water inside the fruit through the scar where its stem used to be. If salmonella happens to be lurking on the skin, that's one way it can penetrate and, if the tomato isn't eaten right away, have time to multiply.

    New clue to Alzheimer's found in form of protein (AP)

    An unidentified man suffering from Alzheimer's disease and who refused to eat sleeps peacefully the day before passing away in a nursing home in the Netherlands. REUTERS/Michael KoorenAP - Researchers have uncovered a new clue to the cause of Alzheimer's disease. The brains of people with the memory-robbing form of dementia are cluttered with a plaque made up of beta-amyloid, a sticky protein. But there long has been a question whether this is a cause of the disease or a side effect. Also involved are tangles of a protein called tau; some scientists suspect this is the cause.
