Lemon juice is acdic innature becauce of citric acid and is good for health because of its vitamin C content. It has anti-oxydent effect on the body. A nobel laurate has a praise for vitmin C, as it is anti-cancerous. I want to know also where lemon juice consumtion will add to the acidic condition of stomach which has pH around 2 (highly acidic) because of HCl.

If you are in good health and weigh less than 150 pounds, squeeze the juice of one half a lemon (one ounce) into a glass of purified water and drink this mixture twice a day (one whole lemon a day.)
If you weigh over 150 pounds, squeeze the juice out of an entire lemon (two ounces) into a glass of purified water and drink this mixture twice a day (two whole lemons a day.)
The lemon juice can be diluted more according to taste.

Each person is an individual but FDA has some guidline for every thing, look it up on the package or on line.
It will add to the stomach acid, HCl is hydroclric acid, lime lemon is citric acid, two rare compatible in body (stomach)

Citric acid tastes nice but it isn't what you need lots of. It will etch your teeth although I don't think that there are any other problems to worry about. You can get vitamin-c on its own and avoid the extra acid.
