Yes, maybe, if you put kidney stones directly in lemon juice, but kidneys filter blood, not the content of our stomach. Maybe it makes the blood more acidic...? Not a doctor but I doubt it can be that effective
According to this it binds to the calcium?

Below this comment is Harvard medical school contradicting you and saying that citric acid is effective in preventing kidney stones. Do you stand by your uneducated guess?
Lol I love that people are in here assuming I just pulled lemon juice helping kidney stones out of thin air. It is good to be skeptical, but not without doing your due diligence. Google is both user friendly and effective.
Y'all, you just got educated by a bartender. Remember that the next time you assume you're better than your waitstaff. (Not you, person I'm replying to, but the armchair naysayers).
