To lose ONE pound of body fat, you need to CREATE a deficit of 3,500 over a period of time. Yowza! Unless I have decided to execute all my teeth, I don't think I will ever go near another lime or lemon, for that matter!ġ pound of body fat is equal to 3,500 calories. Lemons are the runner ups with a pH of 2.2-2.4. (I'm actually getting all this from a website and they put the battery as the most acidic common household material but I have omitted that here since nobody will ever drink a battery.) That means every time you have thrown your head back and taken a refreshing gulp of 'your poison' (HAHAHAHA), you have been slowly degrading the enamel that protects those defenseless pearly whites!Īnother item to watch out for: vinegar!! Vinegar is worse than pop! Vinegar has a pH of 2.2! And number one acidic badboy of common household materials isīelieve it or not, limes are WORSE than lemons. Soft drinks, namely Coca-Cola, have a pH of 2.9-3.3. Basic is any pH greater than 7, like liquid plumber or windex. Neutral is a pH of 7, examples are saliva and pure water. pH refers to the 'potential of the hydrogen' because chemically, the hydrogens accompanying acids are what causes their toxic effects.
