Farms helped create lethal, drug-resistant bacteria. Government has ignored the problem. And now almost anything you put in your grocery cart-meat, poultry, seafood or produce-could be contaminated. Here's a guide to keep your supper safe!
POULTRY AND EGGS
Buy: Look for certified humane or organic. (Phrases such as cage-free, free-range and natural mean nothing when it comes to antibiotics.) Safest of all: egg substitutes, which are pasteurized.
Prep: Keep raw chicken unrinsed, so you don't splash bacteria around your sink. Store raw chicken or ground turkey in the fridge, and use or freeze within one or two days. Cooked turkey is good for three to four days.
Cook: Make sure poultry reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Put eggs in an omelet-they are safest when both white and yolk are firm.

We spend most of our time inside, breathing air that can be even dirtier than the air outside. Check out the sneakiest indoor pollution sources, and learn how to scour them out.
Your foundation: In some homes, radon, a radioactive gas, can seep into the foundation-even if you don't have a basement. Radon may be responsible for up to 22,000 lung cancer deaths each year and may factor into squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer), too.
Clear the air: Buy a test kit (about $12). If you find a problem, the EPA suggest hiring a contractor trained in radon problems to help seal cracks in the foundation and increase ventilation. The fix costs about $1,200, but it's a sound health investment.

Your vacuum: "All vacuums throw dust particles into the air, but those without a HEPA filter throw more," says allergist James Sublett, M.D., chairman of the American College of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology Indoor Environment Committee.
