      Most of the produce you buy in grocery stores have been irradiated with UV to kill harmful bacteria, and it does not have any harmful effects. I suppose if they leave the UV light on and eat dinner under it for an extended period of time then they might get a sunburn.

        I wonder if it truly doesn’t have any harmful effects?

        I’ve heard a lot of studies about how America’s *gut Flora has changed in the last 50 years. How much of that is from having fewer microbiota ingested from natural food?

        I mean, it’s not like UV only kills the bad stuff right?

          As far as I know changes in the microbiota are mostly due to the lack of dietary fiber and the consumption of highly processed foods

            Probably combined with high use of antibiotics.

          America’s got Flora

          It took me way too long to figure out that you meant America’s gut flora. America’s Got Flora sounds like some weird reality TV show.
