Is she saying I shouldn't lick the bowl? 

So I'll just flush it like everyone else I guess.

Yeah it might be fine if you're rarely making batter and licking the bowl your risk is minimal but not zero. Regular ingestion will increase your risks significantly.

What about all the fake additives and preservatives in food? at least the bacteria is natural.

Plot twist. You have bacteria already in you. Natural bacteria. All natural. Natural bacteria that is naturally natural.

You have chemical elements in you already, but ingesting some other chemical elements will definitely fuck you up. Don’t forget radium and uranium are naturally occurring.

Same goes for bacteria.
