Tea with lemon can damage tooth enamel and contribute to caries, and can also increase the risk of peptic ulcer disease, say doctors.
Such a drink as tea with lemon has a number of health benefits. In particular, it supports the normal functioning of the digestive, nervous and immune systems, as well as healthy skin. But, despite its advantages, tea with lemon can harm the body, especially with excessive consumption.
So, with constant consumption of tea with lemon, due to the effect of citric acid on tooth enamel, the latter will begin to break down, and over time this can lead to caries. In addition, an excess of acid has an extremely negative effect on the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, provoking its ulcers.
Lovers of tea with lemon should not forget that it has a diuretic effect, which means that it activates the leaching of useful minerals from the body, including calcium. Meanwhile, the deficiency of this mineral reduces the strength of bones and teeth, worsens the condition of hair and nails.
In addition, tea with lemon is contraindicated for pregnant women: the caffeine contained in it interferes with the normal development of the fetus and can provoke allergies in the child. Pregnant women should definitely discuss the use of caffeinated beverages with a doctor, experts emphasized.
