Look out for lemons in your drink

Posted on Mar 11th 2008 2:34PM by Martha Edwards

Lemon slices are often standard in some drinks at restaurants. And since lemons are a pretty healthy way to add some tang to your beverage, we don't think twice about this. But experts caution that we should think about what's in--or at least on--that lemon. Recent studies revealed that 77% of lemons were loaded with a number of alarming microrganisms, as well unwanted add-ons like ... ick ... fecal matter.

What do you think? Should we be worried about the lemons at restaurants, or is this another example of a minor issue blown out of proportion?
