3 Lemonade helps prevent cancer.

It is true that lemons have diversified nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, but if we think about the quantity of Vitamin C, the same amount of green pepper has three times of Vitamin C content of lemon.

The World Cancer Research Fund and the United States National Cancer Institute have proved with evidence that eating fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer, but what they mean is fruits and vegetables as a whole, not just one kind of fruit, and you certainly cannot prevent cancer through drinking fruit-flavored water.

Lemonade can increase intake of Vitamin C, but diet influences the incidence of cancer through a combination of factors.
