Restaurant ice cubes dirtier than toilet water

Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

A recent study in Chicago found that an alarming number of restaurants, more than 1 out of every 5, has more bacteria and fecal matter in their ice cubes than in a random testing of toilet water.

Seriously? I don't even know what to say! But I do feel a little sick.

Apparently the bacteria found wasn't the kind that's necessarily dangerous to the average person, although the potential for illness is definitely there for the very old, the very young, and people with compromised immune systems. But still! How can that be okay with health inspection agencies?
