Episode Details

Some Americans are panicking at the recent so-called outbreak of "explosive diarrhea." The news is reporting hundreds of cases nationwide. But according to the AAFP, "acute diarrheal disease accounts for 179 million outpatient visits annually in the United States." So there is no sudden outbreak of disease, and the suppose culprit, the Cyclospora parasite, is only suspected but not proven to have caused the diarrhea. Strangely, a Meta data center recently dumped contaminated water into public sewers, spreading what they said was Cupriavidus gilardii, which can also cause diarrhea. Taco Bell, famous for its diarrhea aftereffects, has begun removing certain vegetables from their menu since produce is being blamed for the so-called outbreak. Whatever truth there may be to this should be overshadowed by the fact that produce is only contaminated because large scale in industrial farms often are polluted by animal agriculture, or animal feces is sprayed directly on the produce via collected water. Is it possible that this diarrhea is simply a byproduct of the poor American diet, severely deficient in fiber and burdened by excess protein. Both of these problems can separately cause diarrhea, but together are certainly essential cause. Other developed countries have a third the number of annual U.S. diarrhea cases. So what is happening?
