So let me just do this short video to explain what lemon juice can do and what it can do.

There's no study at all that demonstrates that drinking lemon juice is going to help you lose weight.

However, there is some benefit to consuming lemon juice.

So let's just talk about the three benefits.

Number one, it has citric acid.

The advantage of consuming citric acid is that it will bind with oxalates and reduce the connection between oxalates and calcium, thereby reducing the risk of kidney stones.

So that's number one.

Number two, lemon juice can provide a good amount of vitamin C.

So each lemon provides about roughly half the RDAs for vitamin C.

But if you buy lemon juice that's pasteurized, which all of it lemon juice out there on the shelf, is pasteurized.

That means it's heated.

That heat will destroy the vitamin C.

And so the amount of vitamin C you're going to have is much, much less.

But sometimes they add in vitamin C as a synthetic version of vitamin C called a scorbic acid.

And my viewpoint is it's not the same thing.

So lemons do have a good amount of vitamin C if it's in the raw state.

And there's a tremendous amount of benefits from vitamin C, especially if you're deficient.

And number three, even though lemons are acidic, when you consume the lemon juice,

that will turn into an alkaline compound about an hour after you consume it.

And the benefit of having your urine alkaline is that it will decrease the risk of gout.

So the painful symptoms of gout mainly occur when the peach of your urine is overly acidic.

So if we were to alkalize the urine a little bit, you would have less symptoms from gout.
