Does drinking lemon with water help you lose belly fat and cleanses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The is nothing you can eat, drink or do that will lose "belly fat" (there's no such thing). As for cleaning the whole cleaning industry is a sham. Your liver already"cleanses" your body of toxins. A frequent story of pounds of undigested food hanging out in your body for years is a fiction, so enemas are out too.

Can you substitute lemon zest or peel for lemon extract and if so what is the exchange?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the same way that vanilla extract is the liquid left after macerated vanilla beans are marinated in alcohol, lemon extract is the liquid that is left after lemon zest is similarly infused. To a chemist, in alcohol is a 'tincture', btw. In water, a 'tisane'. If you've an extra day, or so, to spare, simply zest a couple of lemons, then just cover the zest in a tall, narrow, covered container with a neutral grain spirit like vodka. One 30ml 'single' should be plenty. After soaking for (at least) a day, wrap the sodden zest in cheesecloth, or, hang in a strainer lined with a coffee filter, twist firmly, and all the clear(ish) liquid left over is your own, homemade, vanilla extract. If I'm strapped for either time, cash or ideas around any gift-giving occasion, I'll give away an ounce (30ml), or so, as a 'specially crafted' exotic 'neo-foodie'-type gift. Any citrus fruit works like a charm. Empty baby-food jars hold about 2 oz. (60ml). Any citrus fruit with the zest off should be used/eaten inside the next day or two, btw. Meanwhile, if you don't have an extra day, just cover the zest, as above, and rest the container in a warm water bath for an hour...or, as much time as you have!!! You'll need about twice as much of this 'quickie' extract, but it'll work fine. Just remember to reduce another high-volume liquid; water, milk, juice, etc., by the 'extra' volume of the 'quickie' extract. While we're on the subject; don't use 'peel' for anything except candying or ornamenting cocktails!!! It's far too bitter for use in (almost) any kind of cookery.

Do lemon juice and reconstituted lemon juice have the same nutritional impact?

It depends. Some bottled lemonade may have lemon juice, when some may not.

Look on the ingrediants.

How can you divide six lemons among seven hungry people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They each get 3/4 of a mango. You divide 6 by 8, or easier, consider 6/8 a fraction and reduce to 3/4. So cut a quarter out of all 6, and give the magoes (minus the quarter segment) to six people, then give 3 of the 1/4 mango chunks to each of the remaining two persons.

Or another way, first divide all the mangoes in half, and give out 8 of the 12 halves. That leaves 4 halves, which you half once again and distribute equally. Again, everyone gets 3/4 of a mango each.

How many volts can a lime produce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The voltage an electrochemical cell produces does not depend on the electrolyte (e.g. type of fruit), it depends on the two electrodes (e.g. metal strips).

The voltage is determined by the relative electronegativities of the two electrodes. For example all cells using a copper electrode and a zinc electrode will produce the same voltage, regardless of the kind of electrolyte they are put into.

Another example all cells using a carbon electrode and a zinc electrode produce 1.5 volts, regardless of whether the electrolyte is acidic (the original dry cell batteries), basic (modern alkaline batteries), or neutral (a salt).

Is lemon good bad really bad or nice to eat?

Asked by Wiki User

Eating lemons is very good for your health (e.g. they have loads of vitamin C) but they can be bad for your teeth (e.g. acid).

Personally I love to eat lemons, but many people don't.

What is lemon zest?

Asked by Wiki User

Lemon zest is gotten from grating skin of a lemon, just the skin, not the pinth on a micro grater or with a lemon zester. You get the esential oil and VERY lemon flavor.

Which has more voltage pickle or lemon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Neither. The voltage depends on the relative electronegativities of the materials in the electrodes, not the electrolyte between the electrodes.

Will lime break down in a compost pile?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, lime breaks down in compost piles. It helps to cut or tear the peels of the citrus fruit in question into small chunks since small-sized recyclables decompose faster than large-sized. Lime as the inorganic material will break down and make compost and soil less alkaline or neutral in pH and more calcium-rich.

Are non-organic lemons safe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, non-organic lemons are safe to eat if they are washed before consumption or use. Chemical, non-organic, synthetic pesticides can accumulate in the peel. The fruit is safer to eat than the peel, which must be cleaned before eating, employing in drinks or processing, such as in baked goods.

How come lemonade mixes use artificial lemons, but furniture polish uses the real thing?

User Avatar

Asked by Todd Ross

To put it simply, you want lemonade mixes to taste good, and you want furniture polish to actually clean your stuff.

First, one issue with the question: Some furniture polishes don’t use lemon, even if they’re advertised as “lemon scented.” Likewise, some lemonade mixes use real lemon flavoring, but many use natural flavors like citric acid to provide the tart flavor that consumers expect. That citric acid can come from citrus fruits, although it can also be produced through various fermentation techniques.

There’s not a whole lot out there on this topic, but we can make a few educated guesses as to why mixes use artificial ingredients. First, distilling lemon juice into a powder would probably cause it to lose some of the properties that we associate with lemonade. Besides, while real lemon flavoring is nice, it might drive up the price of the drink, and many buyers are just as happy with an artificially flavored substitute.

On the flip side, some furniture polishes use real lemon oil because it’s acidic, making it good at cleaning the surface of the furniture. It also leaves behind a nice scent. Citric acid wouldn’t accomplish the same goals, and consumers are willing to pay for real lemon.

Some popular products are lemon scented, but they’re made of synthetic ingredients with lemon as an added fragrance. Pledge Lemon Clean, for example, uses ingredients like dimethicone (a type of silicone) to preserve wood instead of oil, with a touch of lemon and orange just to provide the scent.

What is 'oranges and lemons' when translated from English to Italian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Arance e limoni is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "oranges and lemons." The first above-mentioned feminine plural noun refers only to the fruit whereas the second feminine plural noun -- after the conjunction -- references both the fruit and the lemon-yellow color. The pronunciation will be "a-RAN-tchey lee-MO-nee" in Italian.
