Drink Lemon Water... Or Not!
For a while this summer, I've been squeezing a little lemon juice into my glass of water. Historically, I was never a flavored-water person (and still would not say that I am), but the sour lemon taste added an awakening feature to my standard chilled water. In July's heat, it was very refreshing!
I previously wrote about the importance of hydration and was planning to write about the benefits of drinking lemon water. After all, it's obviously healthy, right? There must be many gains to be had by introducing the extra vitamins, right?

Sure, Googling "lemon water benefits" yields countless results claiming it results in improved digestion, glowing skin, disease prevention, weight loss, and even antibacterial properties. The problem was, most of the claims were weakly supported, if at all. Most weakly offered: "It's said that..." or "Some say..."
