I always thought I could boil my lemons for a half hour...until now!

My guess is it's the citric acid and malic acid that repairs DNA, both of those acids are prevalent in those fruits and veggies. They are organic acids that are destroyed by high heat, they also bind to toxic metals.

Lemons are a excellent substitute for vinegar. Don't let your lemons ferment like vinegar though. It's just not the same! Use your lemons before you lose them.
When life gives you lemons make lemon aid.

Thanks Dr. Greger! I always started my morning routine baking a lemon or two in the pan. Thanks to you I now know not to do so anymore! I wish you luck.

Bless you doc for making these. As much as care about nutrition and evidence based science I just don't have time to read every nutrition journal there is. Thank you. Will spread the world to the community and my patients.

Of course, the best fruits and vegetables are some of the ones I hate the most. Thank you very much, Mother Nature!

Have 4-5 lemon drops in a cup of water it cleans the body from toxic too. You should have a least 4 cups per day with lemon drops best in the mornings.
