Lemon juice and kidney stones

I have heard that lemon juice can help prevent kidney stones. Is this true?

Almost every beverage has at one time been suggested as a cure for kidney stones. Theoretically, any beverage can decrease formation of kidney stones by altering the pH and diluting the urine, but no one has ever proven this theory.

 

The one advantage of juices is they are fluid in nature and the more fluid you drink, the greater the chance of flushing the stone out. There is no particular juice recommended. If you do not like juice or have the money to but expensive beverages, just drink ample water.
