I'm reluctant to categorise any food as either algood or bad generally - depends on quantity, quality, and context.
I think Reams (RBTI) said they supported the liver's functions, and had useful alkalinising effects on the system.
I believe there are reports of them being potentially helpful against cancer?
I'd say if you like them, try them, and watch for effects. Maybe don't overdo it to begin with - eg start with just one lemon a day and work up if it seems good. Could stir up the system a bit.

Okay cool. I wanted to use them for better liver function. Thank you very much.

We drink a lot of home made lemonade and love it. Just watch out for the store bought, There can be some trash in there eg. dye, flavor, etc.....

 

[beachbum]

Naaaa. No store bought here.

Outside the obvious lack of sugar, which would be added in after I assume, lemons & limes have about a 1/3 of the vitamins & nutrients (excluding vit c which is about the same in lemons & half in limes).

Other than that, they are a tropical fruit low in estrogen & pufa, so if your stomach can handle the acid, making the switch is possible.

I don't find lemonade nearly as satisfying though I'll have to check again. Orange juice is just such a good snack in a pinch, and I'm wondering if lemons have a lowering effect on test more than oranges.
I'd recommend experimenting with similar fruit juices, OJ still being better than lemonade imo
