Side effects of lemon you may not know?

Lemons are known to be a very good source of vitamin C and are beneficial for health, however they also have side effects that we do not expect.

Lemons contain a lot of vitamin C.

Gastric ulcer:The formation of ulcers in the lining of the stomach, esophagus or small intestine can be called peptic ulcers. This can be due to excess acid in the stomach. When you eat a lot of lemons, it causes the stomach to accumulate acid, thereby eroding or causing ulcers into the inner lining of the digestive organs. This can lead to mild or severe peptic ulcers.

Acid reflux disease:Nausea, vomiting, chest pain and sore throat are some of the symptoms of this disease. The acid content in this fruit can weaken the stomach.
