12. Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
real lemon juice (pure) can burn your stomach
The pH of lemon juice is about 2.4 I think, and the pH of stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) is about 1, or sometimes more depending on the amount of protein in the product being digested. If the hydrochloric acid in a healthy stomach cannot burn through the walls because of a mucous coating (exception of an ulcer), the juice of a lemon, with less hydrogen than hydrochloric acid could not burn the lining of the stomach. Even if you swallowed pure lemon juice, the hydrochloric acid would digest it anyways.

Or I could be wrong... :D

definitely
because the stomach produce its acid only during digestion and thats why it doesnt burn itself, but imagine if the its producing its acid along with the pure lemon juice

    The lemon juice would digest easily. I just took a sip of pure lemon juice (used for cooking) in a bottle. I'm not even joking. If I don't come back in the next few days, then you are right.:D
