The results of a four year study of over 15,000 Americans shows that fewer people are eating "risky"
foods associated with E. Coli, salmonella and other foodborne diseases. The number of people eating foods such as
undercooked meat, raw oysters and seafood and runny eggs dropped by about 10 percent between 1998 and 2002, according
to the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, or FoodNet. Men ages 18 to 64 were almost 10 percent more likely
to eat risky foods than women of the same age. For some reason, people 18 years and younger with compromised immune
systems were more likely to eat risky foods. The most commonly eaten food on the list was runny eggs, reported FoodConsumer.org.Americans eating fewer "risky" foods
