Cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Globally, 17.5 million people died from cardiovascular disease in 2005, 30% of all deaths. 7.6 million were due to coronary heart disease and 5.7 million due to stroke.
Judith Tapper, of the HPAâs Food, Water and Environmental laboratory in Leeds, said: âThe main way to ensure that ice is fit to use in food and drink is to ensure that it comes from a safe drinking water source and that all machines and utensils or scoops are cleaned thoroughly and regularly.
In a process similar to making liquid nitrogen ice cream, dry ice can even be used to make ice cream if it is crushed very finely. Dry ice will sink to the bottom of a drink cauldron. If more cooling is needed, do not add regular ice to the cauldron, instead add it to individual drink glasses.
