Did you get the email about fecal bacteria on the lemon in your Diet Coke?  Science professors in Jersey started swabbing those lemons and found all manner of nasty bacteria on the lemons piquantly perched on your water, tea, or soda.  Food handlers are supposed to wear gloves or use tongs, but it’s common practice to just pop it on there with bare hands.  The good news – there’s no proof it can cause infection.  But you might think twice before ordering that lemon.  And speaking of diet soda – there’s new research that it causes weight gain because your body loses the ability to associate sweetness with high calories and fullness, and you just want more, More, MORE.
