“You can and should continue to eat fruits and vegetables, but you might want to take additional precautions depending on where you live,” says James E. Rogers, PhD, director of food safety at Consumer Reports, who notes that so far, the majority of infections have been reported in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, and Kentucky. “If you’re in one of those states, I recommend avoiding eating lettuce and salad greens until we know more, but currently, there is no data to support avoiding fruits and vegetables generally.”

Roughly 70,000 years ago, an ice age in Europe caused a massive drought in Africa.  Most of the human population died off, with roughly 7,000 individuals surviving along the southern coast of Africa.  However, these people built the first permanent dwellings, invented many new tools, and learned to fish.  

Once the drought receded, these more technologically advanced humans began spreading out.  In a couple of thousand years, they would reach other continents.  They likely outcompeted, if not killed, other species of humans.

People of European descent still have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA.  Decades ago, there was a report of a skull found in Israel that was half Neanderthal and half Homo sapiens.

I didn't notice sugar-alcohols in very many products.  I have occasionally bought no-sugar-added mini-pies that contain sugar-alcohols.  They give me gas, but as long as I eat them in moderation, I am fine.  Too much can have a laxative effect.
