lemon Service-disease, informing! Take it easy on lemon

A great percentage of our population is based completely or partly on citrus fruits juices for their supply vitamin C because it is said that these juices contain great quantities of this vitamin.

lemon Service-disease, to have carried out a detailed and complete study of the advantages and disadvantages of the citrus fruits juices, I feel obliged to inform my readers to remain starting from the citrus fruits juices, even those made in your own house with your clean juicer. Not, the citrus fruits juices are not the goods, healthy, salutary products that during years we thought that they were. Thus delay more. if you regularly employ citrus fruits juices in your mode, they must go or only be employed from time to time.

I do not have any objection if people that of phase in the hotter climates an orange or a grapefruit of time to other has, or the juice, but me inform that the lemon in rather formed or large quantity can be a troublemaker. Consequently, I would propose that lemon only is employed in minor amount or would be avoided completely.

If you eat oranges, do not eat dyed those. All them or the major oranges part of Florida which are sold in all the country are dyed and this dye are mortals and harmful. I read children dying because eating this dye in oranges.

Consider that most of the value of bioflavanoid in oranges is concentrated in the white cover which is right under the external skin. You want to obtain this value when you eat oranges but it could be dangerous to eat this part of an orange which was dyed and, as I mentioned above, the majority of oranges of Florida are dyed. Observe thus outside!

I knew a long time that to drink it copiously citrus fruits juices or the consumption of a good number of oranges could cause the evil with or the loss of a of the 'teeth of S. Professor Hilton Hotema said to me these a few years ago. He claimed that he lost his teeth while drinking of much citrus fruits juice when he moved the first time at Florida. He thought that citrus fruits juices were marvellous and he appreciated them thus he drank them copiously. and lost its teeth! I also ran in other cases where this occurred.

The page of Melvin D., D.D.S., which carried out a study of life of the nutrition, gives what is probably the scientific reason most logical of this lemon action on the teeth. He declares that approximately 10% of almost all the fruit are sugar. Now though it is the best kind of sugar, it can be employed with excess. When this is done, it puts the abnormal constraint on the mechanism of the body which maintains the sugar level correct of blood.

A study carried out by Edouard C. Stafne, D.D.S., and Stanley A. Lovestedt, D.D.S., were published in the steps of the meetings of personnel of the private clinic of Mayo, Rochester, Minnesota, March 5, 1947. It was authorized, dissolution of the substance of tooth by the lemon juice, etc this later was republished in newspaper of American dental association of May 1947.

The two dental surgeons studied the relationship between the consumption of the lemon juice and the dental health of 50 patients, who were composed of 11 men and 39 women. These 50 patients all took the lemon juice for a series of reasons: some like treatment for rheumatism some for the constipation, others to beat the cold, ones in order to it reduction of weight and some others like tonic.

It was noted that all the 50 suffered from the various levels of decalcification, which means that calcium in their enamel of the teeth was cracking due to the erosive effect of the ascorbic acid in the lemon juice. The tragedy of this situation was that in much case the lemon juice had been prescribed by professionals. Some of the victims had really started to drink lemon juice because of the advertisements in the newspapers.

In an experiment on rats led in Georgia, seven kinds of juice were employed; the tomato, orange, softened grapefruit, prune, pineapple, the grape and apple. It was noted that the softened grapefruit juice was most erosive with 5 degrees of erosiveness, the apple and the grape was in the second place with 4 degrees of erosiveness, the orange had 3 degrees, the pineapple 2 degrees, and the prune and the tomato had 1 degree.

In the second part of the experiment the animals were given to the juices three times daily in measured amounts, with other fluids, but this time only three kinds of juice were employed - tomato, orange and grapefruit. The grapefruit juice was softened because the rats would not drink it differently. The result - grapefruit juice because 2 degrees of erosion, orange juice a degree and tomato juice because with any erosion some. It was judged that the orange juice and the grapefruit juice caused the majority of erosion because of the high contents of the citric acid in these juices.

Of an article by Henry Hicks, D.D.S., written in the magazine, oral surgery, oral medicine and, oral examination of pathology for July 1951, we read:

My subject, one of most confused and maltreated last two decades, was of special interest to me during the 15 last years. The citrus fruits juice excessive consumption and its effect on surface and deep fabrics of the oral cavity were neglected by the professional and the groups of of the same Dregs because citrus fruits juice was sold too much with the public. It became the standard, strongly nationalized, and the biological majority of food announced in America, its factor of vitamin C a panacea! The citrus fruits and the vitamin C became synonymous in the spirits with the majority of the people. While we cannot deny that the citrus fruits are one of the best sources rich in vitamin C and that the vitamin C is essential for conjunctive fabric and the normal bones and for the normal metabolism, we give on the fact that other substances which are also present out of citrus fruits can make more evil than good which is derived from the vitamin C when sunken excess.

Back 25 years ago I found many people who complained about a particular type of disease. In the case of the males it was ani of prurit but among women, it could be ani of prurit and vulvae of prurit. In the incidents which I knew the problem was traced with the drinking of great quantities of citrus fruits juice. Usually they was people who just liked the grapefruit juice, but I am sure that the broad use of the juice of orange, lemon or limette could just like easily posing the problem.

If you like citrus fruits, eat them or only now and then drink their juices. I know some which drink citrus fruits juices like water and to this object of I strongly.
