Do not drink water any longer, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent cases of sickness. 1 timothy5;23 yes it can be good in moderation , in bible times maybe the water was a bit iffy but a drink of wine makes the tummy better.
As reported by the physician Luke, wine had certain medicinal value as an antiseptic and mild disinfectant. (Luke 10:34) So here is a beverage that has medicinal value as well as pleasing taste.

well the bible does say that a LITTLE wine is benificial, and makes the heart rejoice, so moderation works wonders and there is no shame in moderation. but drunkenness is a different story .

Re: Microbes

Alcohol is a poison. (No judgement intended, purely a scientific definition) Fortunately it is weak enough that we only suffer minor side effects at the concentrations we consume. It's hardly surprising that it's also good at killing microbes.

As an interesting sidenote, it's only one type of alcohol that's "safe" to drink. Nearly all the other alcohols are much nastier.

Re: Microbes




Oral Microbes and Health


"The mouth is a complex eco-system," states Science magazine. "Over the past 40 years, oral biologists have been taking stock of the vast microbial communities thriving on and around teeth, gums, and the tongue." For some time biologists have known that bacteria normally found in the mouth can migrate and cause problems in other parts of the body.

Heart problems have already been linked to an oral bacteria, and studies indicate that another contributes to premature births.

Of course, the bad bacteria do most of their harm directly. If they gang up and prevail over the good bacteria in the mouth, the result is cavities, bleeding gums, and bad breath. "Three out of 10 people over 65 have lost all their teeth," the report says. "In the United States, half of all adults have either gum disease or tooth decay." By studying these bacteria, the researchers hope to learn how to concoct "mouthwashes that inhibit just bad mouth microbes instead of good and bad alike."

i personally believe that the enviroment of the mouth depends on the whole body. if your lymphatic system is acidic then ur saliva will be also and so microbes will thrive in ur mouth. if ur saliva and lymphatic system are alkaline then microbes will not live and ur gums etc will be healthy. high g.i. diet for instance promotes fementation by bacteria and anything that ferments creates an acidic enviroment. jus a few ideas, jase...

yes ,Pasteur’s research into fermentation enabled him to conclude that the majority of problems of contamination in the food industry were caused by microbes.


Microbes were present in the air or in improperly washed containers.

pasteurization, which Pasteur patented, revolutionized the food industry.

Re: Microbes

human tampering with ecology has weakened the globe’s immune system, fostering conditions favorable for microbes.
