Default to frozen food or not to frozen food....

i read a really disturbing article today in my Coral magazine talking about studies done of frozen food. i heard pros and cons on using frozen food before but this study actually got samples of bacteria within the water used in the frozen food. the majority of the samples from popular manufacturers of artemia, mysis and eggs contained the vibrio bacteria. they stated that using frozen food exclusively could be the cause of alot of unknown fish deaths and diseases and other outbreaks within the tank. now i feed exclusively frozen mysis, spirulina brine, plankton, cyclopeeze and what not and i am curious as to what you guys are feeding. are you majority frozen food, pellets, freeze dried. now i usually drain the melted juices out but they are stating this is not enough and that the food should be rinsed with tap water first and fed to fish right after thawing not to allow the food to see thawed in the fridge.
