I’m new to vegan baked goods, but see that many contain brown rice syrup. And that the ingredient is treated like honey or something that can be stored long-term at room temp before being used in baking.

I understand that it’s made from cooking off sugars from rice. This sets off alarms for me as I know b cereus is in almost all brown rice and feeds off the sugars. The syrup is cooked to produce, stored in the temperature “danger zone,” and then cooked again in baked goods that are stored at room temp (once ready to be sold at retailers). Why is it not considered a risk for b cereus? I can’t find any papers on this. Thanks.

I finally found out today that my tooth 14 RCT from November 2023 had a missed canal (one that the endo I saw today said 96% of people have). I‘ve returned multiple times to check on this tooth, bc it never really stopped being uncomfortable. I’ve paid for 3 CBCTs and this is the first time I asked that question directly, but on an over 2 year old CBCT.

I got another CBCT today (there’s been no sign of infection on PA) and am waiting for the endo to get back to me about what he sees - he was super overbooked. I got the original RCT with another endo who didn’t do a scan before. I’m upset bc I asked for a CBCT after the RCT, but before I paid thousands for a fancy endocrown bc I still had pain. Her colleague told me it looked fine (and I think she looked at it, too) and I went ahead and got the restoration.

I know, in most cases, it would be obvious I should get retreatment, but it turned out when the tooth was open that the original endo saw no evidence of an infection (but she also missed a canal that almost everyone has). She said she saw “inflammation, but not infection”. She is highly regarded and experienced and gets amazing reviews. Everything I’m reading is saying get retreatment or extract immediately. Is this what I have to do?
