Hi Denise! If you are not using the peel, organic lemons are not necessary. Thanks for asking!

I am curious as to why you recommend organic lemons for this? I understand if you are using a juicer and put the peel in, but is it really necessary if you are just squeezing the lemon? Looking at changing our eating habits, but also trying to mitigate costs.

Hi Mary!

You are correct in everything you said! Here is more information regarding GMOs:

Hi Julie,

In my research I learned that if a food label lists sugar as an ingredient that it may be sugar made from beets which could be gmo. If the sugar is listed as cane sugar or evaporated cane sugar it should be safe as I don’t believe any cane sugar is gmo at this time based on my research. If the sugar is listed as “organic sugar”. I believe it’s gmo free because organic labeling requires that the ingredient be free of gmo. Although unless it says 100% organic, it may not totally be organic.
Check out the USDA criteria for organic labeling.

Hi Terry,

That would be a great question for your doctor. I am not a doctor and do not feel comfortable providing feedback.

Thanks!

I want to try this lemon/cayenne water. However, I take a thyroid pill as soon as I get up each morning. Do you know if there would be any interference with the thyroid med adsorption should I drink the lemon/cayenne water with the pill?
Thanks, Terry

Hi Dick,

I am so sorry to hear about your heart attacks. We like to drink water throughout the day. Lemonade usually contains a lot of added sugar, which is not good for you. Read about our water consumptions here: http://wholefoodrealfoodgoodfood.com/getting-started/week-4/.

Check out my dinner section to see the types of things we eat for dinner: http://wholefoodrealfoodgoodfood.com/category/dinner/.

What can I drink during the day. Coffee at 9am? Lemonade during the day? Lemonade through out the day? Then what for dinners? I have done none of this and really want to be healthier and lose 30 pounds. Had 5 heart attacks and it’s important for me to finally do something about my weight….. thank you….. Dick
