Health advice on lime juice: I have an organic lemonade I make with fresh lime juice and various berries. What are the health benefits of lime juice? Are there any downsides to drinking lime juice?

The USDA has a good website on which you can research the nutrient values of any food.  One 1 cup of raw lime juice is mostly water, however it contains some fiber, sugars, calcium, potassium, Vitamin C, folate, Vitamin E and Vitamin K.  Since citrus fruits are some of the most highly sprayed crops, I would strongly recommend organic limes to minimize toxic exposures.  Also, some people have food sensitivities toward citrus fruits --so for them, eating citrus is not a good idea.  Because you combine lime juice and berries, you are getting a good combination of vitamins and antioxidants.  Sounds yummy, as long as you don't add too much sugar!
