      I wrote a blog on lemon water a couple of months ago. Unsurprisingly, the claims are overblown and/or incorrect:https://medium.com/@gidmk/lemon-water-is-a-total-waste-of-time-c3bdfbada3f0 …

          Pleasure! Tbh, lemon water is a pretty easy target - the idea that squeezing a bit of lemon into your morning glass of water would have a significant clinical impact is a bit silly to start with!

          I think you'll find it's good for alkalising your body, which cures cancer and makes your teeth shiny and white. It's all to do with the pseudochakras, twice as strong as regular chakras. Namaste 🙏

          If there's one small benefit, it's that my Daily Mail reading parents now have two glasses of water a day now instead of surviving on tea and coffee. And all it takes is for me to die a little inside as I keep quiet every single time it's mentioned.
