Can germs really be good for You?

It's that time of year; kids are back in school and already the media is quick to instill panic and fear in parents about the dangers of GERMS! Last week, after NBC featured a segment on the Today Show about germs and how parents can keep their children from getting sick by avoiding germs at school, in playgrounds, lunchrooms and sports.

The balance of probiotic (good) bacteria must outweigh pathogenic (bad) bacteria for optimum health.
