                                An estimated 2 million tons of manufactured citric acid are produced globally each year, and while safe in moderate amounts, many are unaware of what happens if you eat too much citric acid. Excessive intake can lead to dental erosion, gastrointestinal discomfort, and other health issues, particularly for those with underlying conditions.
