[quote="ValentineWiggin"]I've been looking into acidic vs. alkaline foods lately, and surprisingly enough, lemons are extremely alkaline. I read all the time about how they're helpful for this or that. Aaaand since you said digestion is one of those things, I'm going to go eat some, since I just now outdid myself at Easter dinner. :)[/quote]
