You can read for yourself about the studies (by reputable universities, etc.) going on with lemons right now, some involving cancer, but below is the final paragraph from snopes.com.  My trigger to look there about this piece was that it claims this is a known fact, but it's being hidden from the general public.  That statement alone is a real trigger for knowing it's not scientific.

No reputable scientific or medical studies have reported that lemons have been found to be a "proven remedy against cancers of all types," nor has any of the (conveniently unnamed) "world's largest drug manufacturers" reported discovering that lemons are "10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy" and that their ingestion can "destroy malignant [cancer] cells." All of those claims are hyperbole and exaggeration not supported by facts."
