lime and lemon juice

The USDA website lists nutritional counts for almost every food:

The juice of one average lemon has 4.06 g of carbs with .02 g of fiber
for a net of 4.04 g of carb.

Do lime and lemon juice have carbs?

I can't find any listing on Mendosa's big Glycemic Index for lime or lemon
(except in the name of some colas). Does that mean they have a GI of zero,
or what?

Also, a list of Acid/Alkali foods shows lime as "Alkali Forming", and said
that citrus fruits do somehow alkalize the body rather than making it more
acid.

Does anyone know anything about these juices?

ReaLemon/ReaLime's site doesn't show an ingredient list for theirs, just
says it's like the fresh juice.

According to the USDA SR17 downloadable software database:
raw lemon juice has 8.63g carbs and .04g dietary fiber per 100 grams.
1 cup is 244 grams of lemon juice

And lime juice raw has 8.42g carbs and .04g dietary fiber per 100 grams.
246 grams is a cup of lime juice.

I am refering to juice right outa the fruit with no additives of any
sort...not like realemon or realime commercial products.
