Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What ingredient in raw bread dough can cause poisoning?
A
flour
B
soy
C
sugar
D
yeast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flour doesn’t look like a raw food, but most flour is raw. That means it hasn’t been treated to kill germs that cause food poisoning, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli). These harmful germs can contaminate grain while it’s still in the field or flour while it’s being made.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bread dough expands in the stomach, leading to risks for gastric dilatation and possibly shock and foreign body obstruction. As yeast ferments it forms alcohol, resulting in ethanol toxicosis. This can lead to acid-base disturbances, hypoglycemia, ataxia, CNS depression, and possibly seizures and death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Whether you eat it raw or fully baked, the yeast in bread dough will do you no harm. It can’t survive the acidic environment in your stomach.
