I was told to drink a glass of warm water with lemon first thing in the morning to get your metabolism working or something.
It was absolutely disgusting. Do not recommend. It is infinitely better with loads of ice and mint/cucumber/something fresh0 -
It tastes good, it is refreshing, it has vitamin C.
It won't change your blood pH or cure you of anything, It doesn't magically flush 'toxins' (whatever those are) from your system.
Also, the article irks me because it makes grand claims and provides no references or outside links, which is straight pseudoscience. Then again, its an internet list, so I would hope that no one would actually basie any aspect of their lifestyle around it.
Well said. Here's a somewhat-relevant article about "detoxifying."

The only reason you need to drink lemon water is that you like it.0
