Although lemon water is good for digestive matters, as a natural diuretic and has a refreshing feel to it, it is acidic and that has it's downsides also. Such as, too much acid will cause acid reflux, heartburn, possibly wear down the enamel of your teeth.

One to two cups of lemon water a day is fantastic. It cleanses and is great for the old metabolism.

I dont like it coz it's sour.
