VATICAN ENQUIRER – Spinach contaminated with E. coli has spawned a questionable health cleansing trend in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

A spinach supplier to many L.A. juiceries has just announced a recall of any juices containing the leafing green, after dozens were hospitalized with serious E. coli infections. However, the rapid weight loss experienced by those affected has caused an increase in demand for green juice in which spinach is an ingredient.<\/p>\n

The beginning of 2015 saw an impressive hike in cold-pressed juice sales around the nation, as many health-minded individuals kick started their new year\u2019s resolutions with a \u201cjuice cleanse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were worried. We expected sales to take a big hit with the E. coli breakout,\u201d said Cheap Jewce owner Rachel Silverstein, whose company is known for their moderately priced Kosher juices. \u201cThe New Year is to juicing in Los Angeles, what Valentines Day is to chocolate in the fly-over states. This is like a bad batch of Botox during award season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Symptoms of the bacterial infection, which include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and severe nausea and vomiting won\u2019t exactly give juicers the healthy glow they were hoping for. Left untreated, the bacterial infection can cause kidney failure and even death.<\/p>\n

In an unexpected turn of events, however, many juiceries didn\u2019t see a dip in profits; in fact, spinach based flavors saw an increase in sales. Celebrity health guru, Dr. Wizard of Oz explained, \u201cMany of my clients heard those affected by the E. coli tainted juice experienced increased weight loss. With so many of them are getting ready for red carpets, a few days in the hospital is a quick and worthwhile fix to whatever binging they did over the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand what the big deal is,\u201d said Krystal Stevens, a self-described raw foodist and regular juicer. \u201cThe symptoms of E. coli infection sound like your average detox symptoms. I don\u2019t even believe it\u2019s really E. coli; probably a bunch of meat eaters with a lot of toxicity in their bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The public\u2019s reaction, or lack thereof to the E. coli breakout, has many in the wellness and weight-loss business looking to capitalize on the bacteria strain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe research is in its infancy, but me and my team are working on isolating a less dangerous strain of E. coli that can be added to juices and smoothies voluntarily,\u201d Dr. Wizard of Oz announced. \u201cExposing the body to the strain will not only result in more pronounced weight loss, but may increase its immunity in a similar way to how the body results to antibiotics.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked what they thought about Dr. Wizard of Oz\u2019s plans, the FDA responded, \u201cIn no way should a consumer, purposely consume E. Coli. It\u2019s dangerously deadly. Even if a celebrity endorses it, don\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
