Reply to comment by Boracyk in ELI5. Why is honey and lemon a popular cure for cold like symptoms. What makes lemon more effective than say an orange or lime? by alexkid_in_realworld
the citric acid in the lemon also helps with this. Its why a lime would actually work pretty much as well as a lemon, but an orange (which has much less citric acid, which is why you eat those without puckering up) would be less effective
