Early Exposure To Germs Has Lasting Benefits

All those nutcases throwing around how our produced-foods society is causing all these new illnesses.
Is it hell. It is because we are being stupidly over-clean.

Biology never evolved in a sterile laboratory, it evolved with constant bombardments of infection that helps the body calibrate sensitivity, in exactly the same way that your skins touch sensors adapt to air pressure, your eyes adapt to light and countless others. Why should it have been any different to the immune systems sensitivity?

In fact, there is a partial truth to the produced-foods part, and that is more of a case that the food is too clean rather than microbe-filled.
We have been taught that all possible microbes in food are terrible, but are they?
Only a few select sources of food are overly-infected with nasty things, specifically beef supplies (which are just horrible for you in general)
Most other things are completely safe eaten raw. That includes milk, which has been blasted as dangerous to drink raw, but actually aids people with autoimmune. (now if only there was an actual full-on study for it since the sporadic cases of it all around are promising)
Fact is, if there is any sort of food source infection, the odds of you even getting it are as likely as you getting madcow disease or some other rare illness from eating, simply due to all the safeguards we have in taking care of animals, tracking food all across the world, etc.
Overly-cooked foods are of course bad for you, since burned foods contain carcinogens. But good luck getting anyone off that, some people like their food charred a little. You'll never be able to stop the grill lovers either.

As a person with crohns, it pleases me more is being found out about the intestinal tract and how the immune system functions there.
There was a recent huge discovery on how the immune functions were expressed there to prevent it from attacking vital resources and nutrients.
As an illness that is claiming so many more people due to this clean-freakishness that has become of society in recent years, it is about time people start to realize that clean isn't all there is to being healthy.
