Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 It seems like whenever we find something we think is good to do, some darned party pooper comes along and tells us why it's bad for us. You know that feeling? I like lemon juice (no sugar) in my water. Someone told me that's a bad habit to get into because the acid in the lemon eats on your tooth enamel. Does anyone know if there's any truth to this? Thanks, Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that just putting lemon in water is not going to cause any problems. I do know that sucking on lemons will. My mother used to eat lemons alot as a child and it did eat the enamel off of her teeth. She is now 53 and is having to have many of her teeth replaced. They just fall out.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Thanks, Kimberley. Teeth falling out sounds more like it's from gum disease? I'm sorry for the problems your mother is having and wish her the best. Guess I'd better limit the lemon juice in water to an occasional treat.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 If you are worried try using a straw - then the lemon juice won't get to your teeth.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Actually, I don't think the lemon juice will cause a problem when it is diluted with water. I can see where it might if you just suck on lemon slices, but in water, I don't think so.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Balderdash!!!! If the acid in a lemon is too much for your tooth enamel, then there's something wrong with your acid/alkaline ratio and also you have a potassium and a calcium problem. Furthermore, even though the lemon juice is acidic, the ash is alkaline.
