Robert Whitfield MD explains that lemon water's acidity can kill certain gut bacteria like E. coli and Bacteroides fragilis, potentially creating imbalances. Excessive intake might increase parasitic overgrowth risk in women.
E. coli, Bacteroides fragilis, and fungus (fungi).
Lemon water has been touted for a period of time to really help and eliminate we'll say bad bacteria. So it's acidic, and the more acid it'll affect certain bacteria like E. Coli, Bacteroides fragilis, and fungus for that matter. Depending on how much you do ingest lemon water and how much you have, over time you can create an imbalance. So stick with me here. The point is, if you take in too much acid and you decrease the bacteria and get the balance wrong, say you drop down your E. Coli and your Bacteroides fragilis and your fungus for that matter, and you raise up something like parasitic overgrowth in a woman. That can be really bad. Something like.
