White blood cells are more active when the body is fighting infections and diseases, rather than consuming a food that has higher than normal levels of a certain bacteria. Once the body realizes that it has consumed something harmful, its means of expelling the bacteria is through some form of excretion (i.e. vomiting and/or diarrhea).
