Has anyone done a study on whether or not bacteria incorporate chlorotyrosine (or other damaged protens) into their proteins at first pass? This seems very doable.
We now know that oxidized DNA bases can be incorporated into the intestines of mouse DNA.
One issue is that a lot of lab processes can cause a little bit of chlorination. Here is a study looking at insect cuticle of insects raised without deliberate chlorine introduction; it found chlorotyrosine at ~0.02% mass content. Tyrosine is typically ~3.2% of protein residues.
