Make no mistake, lemon has many health benefits and is excellent for you. It helps the body get rid of toxins, and is also great for your skin. But when it comes to restaurant drinks, never add lemon.

A wonderful place for bacteria and germs

In a 2007 study, scientists examined 76 lemons from 21 different restaurants. Their goal? To see how many bacteria the lemons contain.

The results were extremely shocking. Almost 70% of the fruits were covered with bacteria that can cause viruses and diseases.

In a later investigation, ABC News revealed that half of all vegetables in restaurants tested contained particles of human feces.

Why never put lemon in a drink

So why are there so many bacteria in lemons? Well, the researchers noticed that many restaurant workers did not wash their hands before handling the lemons. This means that the fruits have come into contact with bacteria from toilets, door handles, other people, and more.
