No. It was tested on Mythbusters and they proved that the there is no difference with the food if it was on the floor for 3 seconds or 10.

there's a saying that is going - What does no longer kill us, in undemanding words makes us superior. i'm no longer particular, yet i don't believe of cavemen had a 5 second rule and we nonetheless exist. in recent times, each body is so petrified of germs that germophobia looks the norm. in case you advance someone in a sterile field their finished lives and abruptly allow them out, they'll probable die from a scarcity of ability to wrestle off germs, infections, etc... i'm no longer saying some thing antagonistic for your infant elevating recommendations. a good number of human beings in usa do and say an same as you. that is organic. i have been global and performance considered little ones livng and eating in a number of environments, a number of which i does no longer pick my dogs to be in. The human body reacts to and with our environment that is in. Personlly, i attempt to save my homestead sparkling and allow young ones be young ones. in case you're fearful about some thing falling on the floor, verify your floor is sparkling. Heck, i don't believe of they wash those cockroaches on worry element previously they get eaten.

Truth....well that's a pretty relative "term". Do you mean is it okay?
Depends on how clean the floor is and the type of food you have dropped. Buttered toast always lands buttered side first!

NO. THERE WILL BE NO MORE DIRT AND BACTERIA ON IT THEN THERE WAS WHEN IT FIRST HITS THE FLOOR. THIS IS A COMFORT RULE TO JUSTIFY EATING AND NOT THROWING AWAY WHAT WE REALLY WANT. BUT THEN AGAIN HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU HEARD OF DYING FROM THAT? SO GO AHEAD AND MUNCH DOWN.

It doesn't really matter, once it hits floor, three seconds, three minutes, three hours it will have the same amount of germs & dirt on it.
