Are Lemons Good For A Thyroid T3 Patient?

I am a thyroid t3 patient taking thyroxine everyday. I am also really weight conscious so I ve been drinking 3 lemons in my lemon green tea. I only eat 2 small meals a day and have 4 cups of the lemon tea everyday. Is this harmful for me and how many lemons would you recommend for me?

HI
LEMONS HAVE NO EFFECT ON THYROID AND YOU CAN CONTINUE DRINKING LEMON TEA.
BUT I WANT TO STRESS UPON YOU THAT THYROXINE TABLET IS TO BE TAKEN ON EMPTY STOMACH IN THE MORNING AND YOU SHOULD NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AFTER THE TABLET.THIS WILL HELP IN PROPER ABSORPTION OF THYROXINE FROM INTESTINE.
HOPE I HAVE CLEARED YOUR DOUBTS
THANKS
