On the subject of Citric Acid in drinks interrupting ketosis. I just remembered from my time on the Atkins diet that the only fruit juice you were allowed was Lemon Juice, which is high in citric acid!?
Does anyone know the science behind why everyone says citric acid will interrupt ketosis? The Atkins diet relies on ketosis for it to work at all so if this is true, wouldn't lemon juice be forbidden on that plan?
Just curios as to the actual scientific reasoning behind this well versed fact. Or is this one of those things that one person has said and it has been taken as gospel by others and spread around without actual proof??
I couldnt find any information backing the theory up online, maybe someone has a link to a study or something they could share?
Thanks!
