Is citric acid synthetic.?
Is is good for health.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I don't really think it is either good or bad. It is naturally occurring in foods like oranges, pineapple, tomatoes, and grapefruit. It can also be synthetically made to make things sour (like starburst, skittles, etc). Some people are especially sensitive to it and get mouth sores (ulcers in the mouth) and indigestion (acid reflux) from the citric acid, but you would know if you had that reaction. It tends to be a lifetime thing. I think it is safe, given its naturally occurring status.Health Question & Answer
