Gut Flora

[MRA13]

Since healthy and good gut flora seem to be important for health, what effects do germicide toothpastes and dishwashers as well as hand sanitisers have on them?

Do the chemicals get neutralised in the stomach?

[rnpath]

none of the things you mentioned will enter intestine as they don't pass the stomach, if you use them as intended and not swalowed

Don't they leave a residue? Or else why do the toothpaste companies claim 24 hours germ free protection?

[rnpath in reply to MRA13]

you are expected to rinse the mouth and with that hardly any residue is left back.

By now you would have realized that advertisements attract your attention because the false claims have only 10% truth and 90% l untruth to sound sensational for you to fall for it.

germs in the body are in a dynamic status and it is practically impossible to achieve and maintain 100% germ free status.

even surgeons supposed to operate on sterilized area prescribe postoperative antibiotics

Thank you.

Sir, even if I rinse my mouth and gargle, if I have tea immediately after brushing, the first mouthful tastes different. I think we might swallow some peppermint or chalk of the paste with its chemicals
