- In 1856, Pasteur started to study fermentation to help a local wine manufacturer overcome the problem of alcohol souring.

The "spontaneous generation" theory
Before Pasteur, people believed the doctrine of "spontaneous generation" - that life spontaneously appeared from non-living matter.
This theory was used to explain why food spoiled and how infection developed. Pasteur disproved this theory.

Two remarkable discoveries
- Pasteur found that heating beverages to a temperature between 140F to 212F (60°C-100°C) killed bacteria in those liquids - a process known as pasteurization.
- He also turned his attention to the development of vaccines. He used artificially weakened viruses as vaccines and went on to develop a vaccine for anthrax and rabies.
Pasteur provided the proof for the existence of the germ theory of disease and revolutionized the way we think about human health.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
