We are taught that cleanliness is a vital part of daily life, that antibacterial soaps, cleaning products that completely eliminate the possibility of germs on surfaces, cooking and food handling that absolutely precludes the chance of ingesting a “bug,” is an essential path to good health. This approach is now under scrutiny because of our understanding of

Answer 1

This approach is now under scrutiny because of our understanding of

human microbiomes.

Answer 2

Because of our understanding of human microbiomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The human microbiome, set of bacteria, fungi and viruses that make up our body play an important role in the body, including reproduction.

We received about 23,000 genes from our parents, an insignificant number compared to the 3.3 million genes belonging to the bacteria housed in our bodies. Do not imagine that they are poor parasites waiting for an opportunity to invade the organism. Among other noble functions, bacteria release essential micronutrients, energy for daily consumption, regulate the immune system and protect us against virulent germs.

For this reason, we begin to question the real need for the use of antibacterial soaps because they decrease the population of beneficial and necessary bacteria to our body.
