What is the relationship between
pasteurization and disease?

The pasteurizing process heats food to
temperatures that kill most harmful bacteria. By
killing harmful bacteria, the chance of disease is
decreased.
Explain how HIV affects the
immune system.
HIV attacks cells in the immune system called
lymphocytes. Theses are the cells that normally
fight antigens that cause disease. The body is
left with no way to fight invading antigens, and
the whole immune system breaks down. AIDS
patients develop other diseases such as
pneumonia, cancer, or tuberculosis and usually
die from theses diseases.
