When you say, "As we said in a previous post, we want to follow evidence-based practices and not hearsay.", it kind of implies that the rest of us are in the "hearsay" category, which is unfair. Ideas like a vinegar rinse or specialized cleaning cloth seem like great ideas and based in logic (even though they aren't accompanied by a double-blind study). I have followed what my medical team has told me to the letter and I think most people here do the same. I want us to have an open community where we can share our best practices.
I remember many things being "bad choice" examples like fresh pineapple and cantaloupe were mentioned as unsafe because there was no way to clean the textured, pourous skin without cutting potential bacteria into them. Berries are tricky to clean, great ideas were provided.

@melinda I fail to see the reason why cantaloupe (or any melon) and pineapple should prove unhealthy. I cut the flesh away from the rind. None of that touches my lips or is ingested. The same with bananas I don't eat the peel. Am I missing something?
