In a paper published in Foodborne Pathogens and Illness, discusses the hygiene hypothesis, which they say first began being bandied about in the mid-1900s & has increased in credibility among doctors and other experts.
According to these researchers: “This hypothesis states that a lack of exposure of children (as well as adults) to diet, commensalism bacteria, & minor pathogenic insults results in an immune system that does not function normally.
This lack of antibodies to true pathogens in the immune system has resulted in the dramatic increase in allergies and asthma in developed country over the past 20 years.”
100 years ago American families produced almost 100% of the food their families ate. They harvested and stored their surplus and made only from scratch. 50 years ago it was 50%. Now it’s at 0% for the majority of the country. #makegardeninggreatagain#garden#wholefoodeating
