i know lemons are good for you as they have vitamin C in them. not sure about Limes, but they are also a citrus fruit, so i'm sure they will be good for you as well. Back in the old days there was a disease called "Scurvy" from a lack of Vitamin C and when it was discovered the Lemons contained Vitamin C it increased the demand for them. so yes, they are good for you!

They can be as limes and lemons are citrus fruits and are a good source of vitamin C. In the past, sailors used to get scurvy on long sea voyages due to acute vitamin C deficiencies in diet before discovering that eating limes could prevent it. However, a vitamin C overdose can cause diarrhea or other digestive problems and there is still debate over whether or not a vitamin C overdose is harmful.
A word of caution: limes and lemons are laden with citric acid, which can be good as anti-oxidants but also makes them rather acidic to eat. They are good as ingredients in food such as key lime pie but it is probably best not eat them as fruit.

Yeah they are good for you, cause they have all that vitamin C. PS: Wanna know the difference in taste? A lime is like a lemon, but has no pucker to it! Take care!

Are Limes Good For You

They are not good for your teeth. Have you ever seen ppl with white spots on their teeth? Well too much acid of that sort causes that. Limes and Lemons are good to get rid of dark knees and elbows though

some but not to many because limes and lemons are acidic and can cause acid reflux, heartburn, and irritate your stomach and colon. done moderately they are okay!

vitamin c is a benefit. but be sure to rinse your mouth after eating one, to prevent the enamel on your teeth from corroding.
