The supposed cancer-fighting abilities of many foods get touted all the time on the internet and in magazines. When it comes to lemons, there are also some studies that found lemons may have the ability to fight certain forms of cancer.
Studies are suggesting that the citric power of lemons can help reduce the overall risk of developing certain pancreatic and stomach cancers in later life.6‘Citrus Fruit Intake and Pancreatic Cancer Risk: a Quantitative Systematic Review.’ PubMed, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18824947.,7‘Citrus Fruit Intake and Stomach Cancer Risk: a Quantitative Systematic Review.’ PubMed, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18373174. However, more research is needed to confirm these benefits.
