The risk of that is that, when you putsomething so acidic in your mouth - which lemons are - it can actually break down the enamelon your teeth.”(02:48) (Dr. Brian) “The key is not to just drink a big glass of lemon juice. That’s like acid overload. So, never dothat. But a little bit - a teaspoon - in a glass of water and that is the way this can help.”(04:09)(Dr. Brian) “Sometimes I will take Prilosec, which is a very common over-the-counter blocker that blocksthe acid-producing system in the stomach.
