Date: June 07, 2009 02:20AM isnt fruit always alkaline unless/until you eat it with anything else, where it turns acidic? I would think that apply to lemon juice as well. Re: lemon water

Date: June 07, 2009 03:28PM Lemons are obviously very acidic but their ASH, the stuff that is left over after they are metabolized and burned in the cell, is very alkaline, and this ash is what has an effect on the pH of the body. In fact, according to this chart they have a pH of 9.0 making them the MOST alkaline food. Watermelons also have a pH of 9.0 and watermelons are sweet, so you can't judge a food's pH by how they taste.
