    Yes I drink lemon water from time to time and the only benefit from it I know of is it gets me to drink more water(plain water isn't appealing to me).

    I think water is a diuretic. You drink water with anything in it you'll have to go. You don't drink enough, you don't go. I also read on WebMD that an effective way to combat dehydration is to drink water flavored with lemon. I think lemons are great, lemon juice has it uses too, but once it hits your stomach acid there isn't much more it can do than be broken down to nourish the body.

    Drink flavored water because it tastes good and water helps you stay regular, hydrated, flush out toxins, and combat high blood pressure not because a few drops of flavor added to it has much of a say in it. :drinker:

    I've only ever heard that it's really good for you, and about the best additional you can make to your routine.

    I read recently about the benefits of drinking a cup of warm water with lemon juice, honey and a teaspoon of cinnamon powder, which is reported to be incredibly good for you - all the benefits of lemon which you've heard about, plus the antioxidant effects of honey with the anti-inflammatory blood-pressure-reducing effect of cinnamon.

    I started drinking it just this week, so will wait to see if I notice any kind of difference. I do always find that lemon juice in the morning gives me a real zing on the walk into work. Worth it for that alone :)

    There is so much misinformation out on the web, posted, then re-posted, until something that has no scientific basis becomes "true". Then there's the health food companies that propagate "studies" that help promote sales of their product line. It makes it difficult to know whats factual and what's just a pile of hokey. I'm not saying everything out there is B.S. I'm saying it's a really good idea to do a little research using multiple sources before buying in on the hype. I just ran "Lemon" and "Cinnamon" through WebMD's "Search for a vitamin or supplement" section and both of those turned up with "Insufficient Evidence" under the list of benefits that both are widely touted for. To me that's pretty much saying "if taking it makes you feel better then do it, but there's no science behind it to support what you are taking it for. I'm going to go get a bottle of water now and squirt some Mango Peach flavor in it now. (because it tastes awesome)

    First, your pH should be 7.4, not 7.0. At a pH of 7.0, you're dead.

    And your lungs and kidneys regulate your pH on a second-by-second basis; lemon water in no way changes your pH.
