SO sour!! This lemon juice is more sour than lemon head candies!
That's because lemon juice contains citric acid.
Citric acid?
Citric acid has a pH range between 2 and 3, which makes it acidic and has a strong taste.
Acidic Beverages:
Ohh I get it, so is citric acid only used for natural flavoring?
No, take this steak for example. Citric acid is very useful in slowing down bacteria growth in this steak for it won't spoil.
Wow! Max really helped me understand citric acids pH and function. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known why lemonade was so sour.
Thanks Max, I learned so much today!
No problem! Other drinks that are acidic are soda and alcohol. So be sure to drink less of those if you don't want your tooth enamel to weaken like an 80-year-old women, ha ha ha!Toothpaste can neutralize the acid and protect your teeth, since toothpaste is a base. So make sure to brush your teeth and protect those pearly whites!
