So now we're eating disinfectants?
Wash your lettuce well. Then boil it to get rid of any xenobiotic bacteria.
It's good to have some bad bacteria in the body.
If we become sterile, any bacteria would kill us in the future.
Children exposed to mild germs develop antibodies that help them when they get older. Adults don't really need it. The elderly are generally better off minimizing exposure to germs.
The bad bacteria in food are not good for anyone though.
