Sure, there are many more things to explore from there.
Lemons have a pH of about 2, or more than 100 times more acidic than what they're calling "very acidic." (Recall that the pH scale is logarithmic, so each whole number change represents a 10x difference in pH.)
Strangely though, they view the ingestion of lemon as "alkaline", because fresh fruits and vegetables will always be alkaline once consumed inside the body.
By the way, I have read of reports of people drinking lemon or lime juice on an empty stomach to treat gastric/heartburn problems. If I am not mistaken, this goes against the conventional way of treatment where you are supposed to consume alkaline such as milk of magnesia. Speaking of milk (as in dairy milk), even though it's alkaline, once consumed it becomes acidic inside the body, and thus it's not it is not advisable to drink milk to treat/relieve heartburn. What do you think about all these bizarre claims?
