研究告诉你买饮料不要再加柠檬片了!

There's something about summer that makes us want to put citrus into every single drink. Beer? A slice of orange. Cuba libra? Lemon. Mojito? Bring on the limes.

因为夏天的缘故，我们恨不得往喝的每一种饮料中都加点柑橘类的水果。比如，啤酒中加瓣橘子，自由古巴鸡尾酒中来点柠檬，莫吉托鸡尾酒中总要放上酸橙才行。

We do it because it makes drinks taste fresh, but it's an indulgence we should consider steering clear of.

我们这么做是因为这些东西使饮料更新鲜，但是我们需要改掉这个嗜好。

Why? Because the fruit used tends to be really dirty.

为什么？因为往饮料中添加的水果真的很脏。

研究告诉你买饮料不要再加柠檬片了!1

In a 2007 study published in the Journal of Environmental Health, researchers swabbed lemon slices that were put into their drinks at 21 different restaurants.

2007年《环境卫生》杂志刊登的一项调查中，研究人员对21家餐厅饮品中添加的柠檬片进行化验。

They found that almost 70% of those samples produced some kind of microbial growth, and included 25 different microbial species.

结果发现近70%的抽样样品中存在多达25种的微生物。

The researchers wrote: "The microbes found on the lemon samples in our investigation all have the potential to cause infectious diseases at various body sites, although the likelihood was not determined in this study."
