Real Lemons vs Bottled Lemon Juice

no idea..I use to lemon squeeze bottle thing too...curious to know!

I am curious to know as well. I do the same thing in the morning.

Good topic.

I'd like to read some opinions on this.

I like both kinds pretty much equally, but real lemons do taste a little better to me. I assume real lemon juice from a lemon is better but if I need to put it in a water bottle & want to avoid seeds I use the concentrated kind. If I am drinking from a glass with ice, I opt for the real lemon because it does taste a little better and seems to help me drink more water for some reason than the concentrated lemon juice with water does. I don't know if they really are all that different - most bottled lemon juice says it is lemon & a small amount of sodium, just more concentrated. I think there are pros and cons to both that make them about equal, but I'd say if you can, go with the real lemon more often.

Lemon juice can seriously harm tooth enamel when drank without being in water (pure juice). When you mix it with water it dilutes it and shouldn't have a significant effect. However, if concerned- rince your mouth out with plain water after drinking the glass of lemon water.

It's concentrated when its' bottled and they add things to it to preserve it and it will lose nutrients and some benefits when it goes though the botteling process. It's not as good for you as freshly squeezed lemon juice. Plus.. if you squeeze lemons into a container the juice goes bad after 2 or 3 days.. bottled juice from teh store lasts a long long time.. what does that tell you...

Buy 2 lemons,, cut into wedges and put in a ziplock sandwich bag. Just as easy as getting out the bottle and squeezing it. This is what I do. I do this with limes too. I don't like it in warm water though.. I use fresh squeezed lemon/lime in place of salad dressing.

ps.. i love the lemon ice cube idea above!

Lemon juice in water helps you pee more, which is more or less the only added benefit you get from drinking it. It's good for times of bloating to help flush you out. Some people insist that it has to be hot lemon water and fresh lemons. Your mileage may very.

However, check your lemon juice if you buy it in the little squeeze bottles. Often they aren't really lemon juice at all and many have sugar added as an ingredient. If you're going to be adding it to your water, you should probably just go staright lemons. I like to drink warm lemon water around TOM and when I do I use half a lemon squeezed. That's plenty for one coffee cup full of warm water.

I usually rinse my mouth after drinking it though to get rid of the acidy lemon feeling on my teeth.

Wonderful idea! Thanks for the tip! I suffer from water retention and just had surgery on both legs to help. I was told to drink lemon water and found myself going through lemons quickly from them going bad. I will definitely use this idea!
