Does Daycare Strengthen Children's Immune Systems?

That's the idea tossed out in a recent post on the Mommy Files blog on SFGate.com.

Of course, medical research being what it is, some physicians disagree with that theory. Read the full post here, as well as the associated discussion (it's always lively on SFGate).
