If a person was to eat badly decomposed fruit/vegetables, dairy products like rotten eggs etc would it cause ill health? Which foods, decomposed, would be harmful and which ones beneficial to health? I'm not thinking about doing it, just wondering the biological reasons why we find decay to be repulsive. Thanks.

i think that it's natural for someone to be repulsed by decayed objects- probably something that is encoded into our brains after centuries and centuries.

Eating spoiled foods would not necessarily make you sick, as spoilage bacteria (the ones that cause food to rot) are completely different from pathogenic bacteria (the ones that make you sick). However, badly spoiled foods are are much more likely to carry pathogens than non-spoiled foods, so it probably wouldn't be a good idea.

The disgust we feel towards rotten and rancid foods is an instinctual one since nearly all foods which are rotten or rancid are really bad for you. Some form toxic chemicals, some grow bacteria such as E. Coli or other germs that cause food poisoning. Scientist occasionally find a few compounds that prove useful (such as one form of mold giving form to penicillin), but they certainly are few and far between
