The 'professional' reassurance doesn't really do it for me, just something else to worry about I guess! |

There have been plenty of people who have contracted salmonella, etc. from good old vegetables and salad greens so I think any sort of food could become risky business depending on how it's handled in the processing. |

I had those nurses on the phone reading the riot act to me on an occasional diet coke...and the kind I picked up was something new with vitamins and minerals added to it...called diet coke plus. They told me to much sodium in soda. I found some with zero everything just the same. I picked me up some diet green tea earlier in the day. |
