    Add Tums to your ritual. Everyone can use more calcium.

    I tried drinking hot water with lemon as a way to cut back on caffeine, but it gave me terrible heartburn.

    Lemon hot water is also dreadful for your teeth (guessing pineapple is the same but owing to different enzymes). Maybe just eat an orange or some slices of pineapple?!

    Yeah, that would be my preference too! I haven't heard about either of these having particular health benefits. Pineapple water especially is a new one to me. What's that about?

    Both have citric acid--that's what's giving you trouble. Pineapple gives me boils in my mouth. I can only have a little.
