#<\/a>HealthTalk: Common Kitchen Mistakes That Can Make You Sick: Twitter Chat<\/a> <\/strong>
Are you up on the healthiest food practices?  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1 in 6 Americans get sick from foodborne illnesses each year. These diseases may be invisible to the naked eye, but they hide on kitchen surfaces, knives, utensils, and other places. The good news is that you can prevent their spread and protect your health by following some basic food safety practices, like washing your hands, using separate cutting boards for vegetables and raw meat and poultry, and cooking and chilling foods at the right temperature. Join a twitter chat with Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, owner of BetterThanDieting.com; David W. Plunkett, JD, JM, senior staff attorney for the food safety program at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI); and Johannah Sakimura, Everyday Health nutrition columnist.  <\/p>\n
