now there’s a lot of people that are adding lemon  to their tea to get a little boost of vitamin c  

which you would think is a good thing but here’s  the problem with doing that lemon has about 23  

milligrams of vitamin c which is a good amount  but the vitamin c in lemon is very sensitive to  

heat that vitamin c starts breaking down at just  86 degrees fahrenheit which is 30 degrees celsius  

and there’s significant damage to that vitamin  c structure at 140 degree fahrenheit which is 60  

degree celsius so it would be much better if you  let your tea cool down a little bit before you  

added the lemon now also if you’re going to add  lemon from a jar that you would buy at the store  

realize it’s pasteurized so it’s already been  cooked and there’s not a lot of natural vitamin c  

that comes with that product unless they  add vitamin c after the fact but they  

usually add some synthetic ascorbic acid  which is not the total vitamin c complex  

in fact it was the pasteurization of milk back  in the early 1900s that was blamed for increasing  

infantile scurvy which is a vitamin c deficiency  a major one because the pasteurization destroyed  

vitamin c in that milk now the other really  cool thing about preserving vitamin c  

is that vitamin c and citric acid which is  in that lemon has the ability to preserve  

this phytonutrient that’s in the tea by 5x so  the phytonutrient that plant-based chemical  

called catechins which is responsible for a lot  of health benefits now you may have heard about  

this when associating this with green tea  because sometimes in the back of label when  

you read green tea it’ll have e-g-c-g this is  just one type but it’s responsible for a lot of  

health benefits when you’re trying to get these  phytonutrients from the tea your own digestion  

destroys about 80 percent of this but the citric  acid and the vitamin c in the lemon will help you  

retain the phytonutrients so it’s not destroyed  also vitamin b1 and vitamin b5 are also very heat  

sensitive so this is just another side note to  encourage some raw foods with your cooked foods  

all right thanks for watching before you  go if you have a question about a product  

or you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  

need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i  have a keto consultant standing by to help you
