Lemon juice is the most popular because it is acidic. This is why it tastes sour is the interaction of the human taste buds and the acid. Bacteria do not like to live in environments that has a high concentration of acid. The pH level will be low in its environment and the most common bacteria like pH levels in the middle.

Is juice healthy?

If you mean is fruit juice healthy to drink, then the answer is 'yes, in moderation'. Even natural fruit juice contains natural sugars, acids, and enzymes which can harm teeth or cause other health problems. Nutritionists say children should have no more than 4-6 ounces of (say) orange juice per day, and should eat fresh fruit and vegetables to provide them with the remainder of their vitamins.Be careful of drinks labelled "juice drink" because these usually contain added sugars, acids, and preservatives. Also, be careful of drinks that are labelled "100% juice" because even though it may sound as though this is only fruit juice, manufacturers are allowed to put additives in these provided they replace some of the juice's water content with the additives.
