Avoid icing on birthday cakes!
Who doesn't love blowing a birthday cake? And who doesn't like that cake? But have you ever wondered why your cake is so germicidal? Do not raise your eyebrows! A team of researchers from Clemson University in the United States recently concluded that blowing out candles can increase the amount of bacteria in cake icing by up to 1,400 percent. After that, since all the guests are eating the cake, the germs are getting into their bodies!
According to a recent study published in the Journal of Food Research, there is widespread disagreement as to where exactly the rule of blowing out a candle on a birthday cake was introduced. One group thinks that this ritual was first introduced in the temple of Artemis, the hunting god of ancient Greece. Many people think that the smoke that comes out after extinguishing a candle is the one that conveys the desires of the people to the court of God.
Recently, researchers have confirmed that bacteria may have spread to the surface of the cake, probably through human respiratory bioerosols. So what about blowing out the candles arranged on the cake for the next birthday? Or are you thinking of going to a friend's birthday and stop eating cake? Do not think a little more before making a firm decision!
