If you are suffering from recurring kidney stones, start drinking lemonade concentrate. The drink is one of the most effective ways of stopping the problem, as a small study has discovered.
It’s been tested on 11 patients who had recurring kidney stones caused by low urinary citrate excretion. Every day they drank two litres of water that included 120 ml of concentrated lemon juice containing 5.9 g o citric acid.
After several years of treatment, they reported an 87 per cent decrease in stone formation.
