Yes yes, fresh! You want to get the benefits of the vitamins as well and it tastes so much better! Get organic too.. It might be an extra 25 cents per lemon but it's much better tasting! I did compare myself and regular lemons aren't as lemony.. And then you don't have to worry about pesticides etc....

sorry to butt in guys, but what is "type a"? Hey Pete, This is kind of a generic way of describing a person who is a perfectionist and overachiever......

Hi Terryval :) Try the lemonade stuff... You will feel amazing and light and refreshed, not like the grapefruit deal..... And I recommend using organic lemons, since they taste better and are obviously healthier... This works better than plain water and the lemons clear out all the mucus in the body...
