Hello everyone,

I drink water with lemon juice all day. Is that healthy? I squirt some lemon juice and add 48 ounces of water. << I drink six of these a day.

    What ill health effects were you afraid of/anticipating?

    Not healthy at all. Your insides have now been scrubbed clean and smell lemony fresh. :wink:

    I have never heard of anything bad about drinking lemon water, quite the opposite actually.

    Lemon is suppose to be excellent. If I remember correctly it assists with liver function. My only concern would be if you are removing the rind in case of spray used at the orchards.

    I cut up fresh lemon and put in my water also. It seems that research has shown fresh lemon to be a benefit. But we all know that research is what it is; coffee is good for us one day and bad the next, lol. I will stick with the fresh lemon in my water because it just makes it all that much more refreshing to me.

    I drink hot water and lemon every morning. I love it

    The acid in the lemon might not be good for tooth enamel but I am just guessing

    I would just drink it once every other day. The acid is bad for the enamel on your teeth. You're doing more harm than good and also the acid may be too much for your insides too! Although, It does have its benefits, I might add. I drink it too with honey!

    The ayuvedic doctor my girlfriend saw has forbidden her from consuming lemon or its juice. He claims it's hard to digest. Personally, though, I find that hot water with lemon helps with digestion (and it's great for the skin!) so I'm not going to stop drinking it.

    ^^^That would be my only concern. I drink mine through a straw.

    It should be fine, but I hope you're not including this concoction into your 8 glasses a day. Once you put anything into water it is NOT water...it is a water-based beverage and does not count!!

    I filter my water through coffee grounds, and then add cream and sugar. I'm still alive, and surely a little lemon would be better for you than that..

    Seriously, though, unless you are drinking a LOT of lemon juice, the water probably dilutes it enough to lessen the concern about your tooth enamel, and as for digesting lemon, I've never heard of that being an issue.

    I say if it keeps you hydrated, enjoy!

    My husbands Dr told him to put lemon juice in his water, apparently it helps to keep kidney stones from forming. He hasnt had one since.

    My only concern would be why you're drinking close to 300 ounces of water a day? That is excessive and will cause more problems than any lemon could.
