Is it safe to eat lemons period?
It's perfectly safe to eat them, but the citric acid will wear away the enamel on your teeth. I suppose too many of them could eventually hurt your stomach lining too. I don't imagine there's much you can do, other than brush your teeth right after eating them.I know that the dentist who puts braces on your teeth will tell you that eating lemons is a No No! Because it will strip the enamel on your teeth and where the braces are it will make little black marks! So, if you don't have braces, you can eat them in moderation. That is, if your stomach tells you to stop, then listen. You can of course brush your teeth after eating them to counteract the acid on your teeth. As for your stomach Lemons are a natural fruit, but very high in acid and therefore the problems that a few, not all, people have in eating them. it is not weird to eat lemons plain. for years people eat lemons plain as a weight loss trick. not only does it curb your appetite but the juice from the lemon helps to absorb fat.
