As acids are water soluable the kidneys are capable of handling large amounts of it without too much ill effects at all. The most notable effect is that you will notice that your urine takes on a distinctive colour.

Why is too much citric acid produced in the human body?

I'm not a doctor, and i don't have any certificates or whatever, but your body doesn't produce citric acid, and its citric acid content comes solely from the rutaceae fruits which you consume (oranges, grapes, berries, tangerines, mandarin's, grapefruit, limes, lemons, lemonade's, kiwi fruits etc). you would just be eating too much citrus fruits.

Is citric acid making a vomiting?

The question is not quite clear. If it is meant to mean "Does citric acid cause vomiting?" The answer would usually be no. Citric acid is the acid found in citrus fruit, such as oranges and lemons. The acidity would not cause vomiting, as the stomach uses hydrochloric acid to digest food, and is able to cope with quite strong concentrations. The citric acid could cause vomiting if too much was consumed at once, but even water can cause vomiting if taken in very large quantities.


Is citric acid a liquid?

It is a solid. See the discussion page for further info. (It does not matter that it is dispersed, it still maintains its fundamental state of matter.) Citric acid (anhydrous) is a solid at temperatures below 153C (307F). Citric acid becomes liquid at 153C. At some temperature well above that, pure citric acid may enter vapor phase, but its likely the energetic state of atoms in the molecule at this temperature will cause it to come apart. The boiling point of a solution of citric acid in water depends on the concentration of citric acid in the water.


Is it bad to eat a lollipop that has citric acid and titanium dioxide in the ingredients?

Eating too much of anything is bad.if your body is sensitive to outside food avoid eating them. Citric Acid is simply fruit acid, the acid that gives citrus fruits like lemons their sour taste. Titanium Dioxide is used as a food colouring, it is the most commonly used one. It's perfectly safe to consume it in that form, but inhaling pure titanium dioxide dust is not a good idea.

No. As tasty as oranges are, they are filled with citric acid. Too much citric acid can kill you. We could live on water for a while since it keeps us going, but we couldn't eat just one food or drink just one thing. We need a variety of food to keep us alive.
