Lemons, especially their juice, are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help support the immune system and promote healthy skin. They also contain flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, as well as soluble fiber which can support digestive health. Additionally, lemons are low in calories and can be a refreshing addition to a balanced diet.
Lemons are generally safe to consume and do not pose significant health risks. However, some individuals may experience acid reflux or irritation of the stomach lining if they consume large amounts of lemon juice. Citrus fruits can also exacerbate acid reflux symptoms. Individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may benefit from limiting their citrus intake. Moreover, citrus fruits are also rich in organic acids, which, when consumed in excess, can erode tooth enamel, leading to increased sensitivity, tooth decay, and other oral health issues.
While true lemon allergies are rare, some individuals may experience oral allergies, such as tingling or itching in the mouth, when consuming lemons. It’s more likely, however, for people to be sensitive to the acidic nature of lemons, which can cause irritation or discomfort in the mouth or digestive system.
