hi guys in this video I want to answer

the question does lemon juice really

have vitamin C or a significant amount

of vitamin C because if you look at the

back the label on these lemon juice

bottles it’s only 8 percent per ounce

that’s like 4.8 milligrams when your our

days are 70 so it’s a fraction of the

amount you would have to consume like 9

ounces of lemon juice to get your rdas

for the day so that’s that’s a lot of

lemon juice okay

but the point is that vitamin C is very

sensitive to heat and oxygen so when you

buy bottled lemon juice there

pasteurizing it they’re heating it and

they’re exposing it to oxygen so you’re

gonna lose the bottom and see overtime

so years ago when the sailors would sail

across the continent they would many

times get something called scurvy

weather gums would be bleeding their

collagen would fall apart really serious

fatigue and they eventually found that

they can use limes to give them the

vitamin C to prevent that and then they

use onions and then they use cabbage so

limes and lemon have pretty much the

same nutritional content as far as

vitamin C but they didn’t pasteurize it

they didn’t bottle it so when you add

heat you destroy the vitamin C so are

there benefits from a lemon juice yes

there are citric acid okay that’s gonna

prevent kidney stones that’s why we’re

using it on the ketogenic diet the other

thing that you get is a lot of different

minerals

okay there’s certain phytonutrients that

are still preserved but as far as

vitamin C and get your vitamin C from

either raw lemons or limes or vegetables

you so much for watching keep spreading
