A member asked:
Do lemons make water alkaline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Lemon dissolved or squirted in water will make it slightly acidic due to the citric acid in the fluids of the lemon. Most find this refreshing and better restaurants will commonly place a slice of lemon in water served to the patron.
