Alfred E. Newman had it right when he said,”We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.” Too true. So when life gives you lemons, eat them whole and fresh!

All About Lemons

The lemon was first created as a cross between a lime and a citron, and all three grow on evergreen shrubs. The Arabs introduced this small citrus fruit to the Europeans, who then brought them to Spain in the 11th century.

Along with other fruits and vegetables, Christopher Columbus brought lemons with him on his second voyage to the New World in 1493. They have been growing in Florida since the 16th century.

Besides large amounts of vitamin C, lemons contain riboflavin, thiamin, iron, magnesium, pantothenic acid, fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, copper, calcium and folate. Lemons even protected miners against scurvy during the California Gold Rush. They cost as much as one dollar each in 1849.


Although we may not be overly concerned about scurvy in America today, here are 11 other great reasons why lemons should be a part of your healthy diet:

  1. Lemons gave me hell when I tired to eat them hole, I had keeping using the restroom and the acid burnt my butt so bad.

  2. I hope all readers know that for every negative ion there is a positive ion (or maybe 1 doubly charged positively charged ion for 2 negatively charged ones) so the number of positive and negative charges remains quite nearly equal. If this were not true the lemons would discharge with sparks if a finger were brought near the lemon as one sees in dry weather when combing hair or sliding over synthetic fabric or even wool. You do not get a bunch of one sign of ionic charge without this roughly equal amount of the other sign on and in the object.
