25、t after a review of the scientific literature，her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40F(4.4C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water，if hands were scrubbed，rinsed(冲洗) and dried proper
26、ly.Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary，as well as wasteful，Carrico said，particularly when it comes to the environment.According to her research，people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands.Using that number，Carricos team calculated a significant i

32、much healthier.DWe can wash our hands with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature.D A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as wel
33、l as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people fee
34、l that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that
35、 are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange.

37、 sales and profits of the producers.Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there
38、s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the market. For most people, the chances of developing serious side effects (副作用) from th
