And just how did you think we get charged up with our gut bacteria? And just what did anybody think “probiotics” is actually composed of?
We could not digest much of the “food” we consume without the aid of these fecal bacteria. They break down various materials into sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids, and reform them into substances that may be utilized at a cellular level within the body.
That's the penalty for letting DemoRats live in America.
Here’s what we’re doing about it. Big Berkey water filter.
The human body can handle it. The problem is we try to purify everything to the point that our immune systems never get to fully develop.
Not to worry. There are very few calories in the few particles of fecal matter. Worry more about about eating pasta and bread made with refined flour. Those will cause weight gain, diabetes and heart disease. Stomach acid is very strong, it kills any bacteria coming in. If you stick your finger in the stomach fluids, you will have a serious burn.
They are silent about the fact that fish poop and have sex in that water.
What REALLY matters, is it in our beer?
When I lived in ROC, drinking tap water was at your own peril. Outside of the cities, sewage would literally flow down the road gutters.
Not unless someone’s taking a dump in my well. But since it’s a few hundred feet deep I think I’ll sleep tonight.

PINEVILLE, Louisiana (CNN) — The tap water at Zelma McCoy’s house was the color of mud. Neighbor Christy Chua was bothered by the stench. “Whenever we’d take a shower it really smelled,” she told CNN.
They are among 350 residents of the Walden Point subdivision in Pineville, Louisiana, who unknowingly drank and bathed in water contaminated by sewage for almost three months because city workers mistakenly connected a sewer line to an underground water pipe.
The problem, discovered earlier this month, has since been fixed, says Mayor Clarence Fields.
‘I have been drinking sewage water’
City officials say health risks were minimal because enough chlorine is put in the water supply to kill most bacteria. But residents of this central Louisiana city, who were temporarily ordered to boil their tap water, are disgusted and angry.
“I get physically ill when I think that I have been bathing, drinking and washing my clothes and dishes in sewage water,” Tammy Campbell said.
The filters on Campbell’s washing machine, dishwasher and refrigerator ice-maker became clogged with a white stringy substance, which she later learned was used toilet paper.
The water heaters of other residents filled up with what they originally thought was dirt — but turned out to be excrement.
Not in my well water. It’s 198 feet deep with a 100-foot-thick layer of clay above the water table
I thought this was an article about India and that area of the world.
We have an enormous number of homeless people living along the river near here. They found e coli in the water. They said it wasn’t from humans it was from geese and fish and other animals but definitely not the homeless people who live along the banks of the river. I don’t believe anything any more.
We get our water from area lakes; of course there’s going to be fecal matter in it, but shouldn’t the water treatments clean it up? One of the few good things about Rockford IL, where I grew up, is that our water came from artesian wells.
Throw in one of those dryer sheets once a month.
No problem.
But here’s a little other fun fact for you: Fecal contamination doesn’t just happen in our waterways. As the Washington Post explained in 2023, there’s fecal contamination on essentially everything.
It is silly to become agitated at extremely low levels of “contamination”. It cannot be avoided.
Fish do it there.
