Myths
- Doesn’t change the pH of the blood
It is commonly believed that drinking lemon water alkalizes your body, which is only true for your urine. Drinking lemon water will not affect the pH of your blood, as the kidneys regulate our body’s pH, not the food we consume.
- Doesn’t flush out toxins
Water plays an important role in helping naturally eliminating cellular waste. But, there is no evidence to support the claim that lemon water clears out any toxins.
Cons
- Damages tooth enamel over time
Lemon water is perfectly safe to drink. Although, considering that it has an acidic pH, the habit of drinking it every day for a prolonged period of time can make your tooth enamel deteriorate. To tackle this problem, Medical News Today suggests that you either drink it through a straw, or wash it down with pure water. Also, because the lemon with cause an acid-softened state to your enamel, wait with brushing your teeth for about one hour after you have drank lemon water.
