Is lemon juice in a bottle the same as real lemon juice?

However, if you've ever tasted bottled lemon juice, you'll notice that the flavour is a little off – not bright and lemony like the real stuff. This is because bottled lemon juice usually contains additives and preservatives such as Sodium Metabisulphite (E223) or Potassium Metabisulphite (E224).

Here we consider whether bottled lemon juice is as good as the real thing.

Let’s look at some stats:

FRESH LEMON JUICE BOTTLED LEMON JUICE Serving size 100g raw 100g canned/bottled Calories 22kcal 21kcal Protein 0.35g 0.4g Fat 0.24g 0.29g Carbohydrates 6.9g 6.5g Fibre 0.3g 0.4g Sugars 2.5g 2.4g Vitamin C 39mg 25mg Folate 13mcg 10mcg Potassium 103mg 102mg

Here are some highlights:

Both are very low in calories and fat.

They are both good sources of vitamin C, folate and potassium.

Fresh lemon juice contains significantly more vitamin C than bottled lemon juice.

OUR WINNER: Fresh Lemon Juice!

Both are low in calories and fat and high in vitamin C, folate and potassium. However, if you’ve ever tasted bottled lemon juice, you’ll notice that the flavour is a little off – not bright and lemony like the real stuff. This is because bottled lemon juice usually contains additives and preservatives such as Sodium Metabisulphite (E223) or Potassium Metabisulphite (E224). Metabisulphites are used to preserve the natural colour of food and protect food against bacteria. They are commonly used in wine and beer making. Potassium metabisulphite is generally preferred out of the two as it does not contribute sodium to the diet. Both are classed as allergens as they may cause allergic reactions in those who are sensitive to sulphites. If, after consuming metabisulphites, you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of your extremities, difficulty swallowing or a rash or welts on your skin, you should immediately stop consuming all products that contain this substance and seek medical attention. So our advice is to stick with squeezing fresh lemons. To have lemon juice on hand at any time without having to keep buying fresh lemons, squeeze a bunch of lemons and freeze the juice in ice cube trays to use as needed.

What is the smallest amount of water you can survive on?

If a survivor where to find themselves in a situation where water was scarce they would obviously become dehydrated and the rate of urination would drop, for arguments sake to 500ml<. This leaves a rough figure of 1 Litre or 32 ounces to keep the average human alive whilst resting in a temperate environment.

What’s the Minimum Amount Of Water Needed To Survive?

Let’s face it, running courses and spending time in the outdoors in Britain, there’s no shortage of water…..In fact we take it for granted! But what about more Arid conditions such as the Desert, Being out at sea or even Arctic conditions? How much water is required to keep the human body functioning when in Survival mode?

Water loss factors are very much dependent on external and physical factors such as the environment you are operating in (both weather conditions and terrain), and your physical output and fitness levels. The fitter/healthier you are the more efficient your body is at retaining and assigning H2O. A breakdown of the mechanisms for water loss in the Human body is thus:

600ml lost through urination (per 24 hours)

400ml lost through the skin (per 24 hours)

200ml lost through exhaling (per 24 hours)

It should be noted that the above is a figure for an average sized man whilst resting. If a survivor where to find themselves in a situation where water was scarce they would obviously become dehydrated and the rate of urination would drop, for arguments sake to 500ml<. This leaves a rough figure of 1 Litre or 32 ounces to keep the average human alive whilst resting in a temperate environment.
