Does lemon or lime juice ruin the teeth?

[Aajonus]

Do you have a question?

[Attendee#2]

Yes.

I have found that by adding half orange to half lemon, it doesn't whiten the meat with the chicken or fish, so I can leave it there longer and it doesn't go all that quite horrible as if it's been broken down.

[Aajonus]

That's fine. I marinate sometimes in grapefruit juice.

[Attendee#2]

Yes. It's much better.

[Aajonus]

Grapefruit juice in fish is phenomenal, and it isn't near as strong. It isn't even a fifth as strong as lemon. But some people don't like the taste of grapefruit.

[Attendee#2]

The orange and lemon is beautiful.

[Aajonus]

Japanese use oranges a lot for that.
