I found this article very interesting, makes a lot of sense for the appendix to still have an role in our bodies.
I believe it does produce and process this bacteria still, because if something blocks the opening of the appendix this would cause the bacteria that is being produced to build up and then eventually make the appendix erupt thus leaving the body with the nasty infection.
I like this study and i am glad somebody has written something like this. I for one don't believe in evolution and I am quite sick of reading all the articles on the appendix doing nothing.

Thanks mate for the read and keep up the studies
