Scientists have frequently claimed in recent years that our immune systems have been adversely affected by the insistence on total cleanliness and the overuse of bacterial cleansers in the home. As children, our systems should get used to 'a bit of muck' and the immune system then kicks in at full power. Well, it makes sense to me.
If we extrapolate from this however, might there not be a similar claim made where sell by dates on food are concerned?
If we never eat anything which is a little bit 'on the turn', could this mean again that our immune systems are not firing on full power?
