Skip the Lemon

This is enlightening to say the least. I never eat the lemons they put on my drinks at the restaurant but I think in the future I'll tell them to skip the lemon altogether.

Makes sense...I've never been a great fan of the lemon...always set the lemon slice aside at restaurants etc. I sure if they dug around they could find alot more things that are contaminated!!!!

If you ate the whole lemon with a hot cup of coffee or tea, the heat sanitizes all those problems.

That is why the Irish railroad workers died of dysentery & the Chinese were favored, because the drank hot tea.

Seems to me drinking cold drinks might be something to be circumspect about.

As you might tell i like lemons [limes too] & eat them peel & all. Much of the nutrients & aromatics are in the peel. [& the peel might be somewhat anti-biotic? just my uneducated guess.]

My older sister used to love to suck on lemons, she stopped when her dentist told her that the citric acid would take the enamel of the teeth...anyone know if that is true?

A long time ago, in a land far far away, I asked our Medic why the indigenous people were able to drink from the stream while we would get really sick if we did the same. That's when I first heard about "bacteria load". It seems that humans have an ability to acquire a resistance to some bacteria due to various factors. These folks could carry a larger bacteria load with no problem than we could. As a society we have become so zealous and passionate about cleanliness that we have lost the ability to carry any sort of bacteria load at all. Most people today would be dead within weeks if they were suddenly transported back to the middle ages.
Don't get me wrong, clean is good, but we can all see where this is going to lead us. Soon, even the air we breathe will have to be sterilized.

Back then food was healthier(not processed) and prepared the old fashioned way too. So people actually got better nutrition from their diets if they ate right too. And they didn't all tend to over eat and they walked to most places.

It's not simply sterilizing things that is getting to the point of ridiculous, we compromise our own immune systems so they can barely function in the world we live in now. Let's also not forget that man puts a lot more toxins in the environment too that people in the middle ages didn't have to deal with. Those toxins break down our natural defenses to disease as well.
