no worries with putting a bit on your water. too much can cause stomach problems. and not good for your teeth. too much can and will eat away at your enamel. but that's in sever cases..ie drinking lemon juice every day or sucking on lemons for an extended period of time.

I had a friend back in the day who drank lemon juice straight from a bottle. He would go to circle k and just buy bottles. < WTF, I dunno
Nah, I just add maybe a tablespoon per litre.

It is very good for your liver according to John Meadows

This is an extract from a John Meadows article....
Lemon juice, specifically the phytochemical d-limonene, acts as a liver tonic and assists in digestion by clearing the detoxification pathways and helping the liver produce more bile.
D-limonene is found in the essential oils of citrus fruits and many other plant species and has been shown in animal studies to be cancer protective. The theory is that limonene's protective effects are due to it being a strong inducer of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification enzymes that neutralize carcinogens.
Limonene also promotes the health of the GST (Glutathione S-transferase) system in the liver and small intestine, decreasing the negative effects of carcinogens. Another interesting fact is that d-limonene is a solvent of cholesterol, so it's been used clinically to dissolve cholesterol-containing gallstones.
The best way to use lemon juice appears to be in the mornings, when our bodies are in a natural cleansing phase. Use the juice of a fresh lemon in a cup of hot water and the lemon juice should be 100% real, namely fresh squeezed, not "from concentrate." Fact is, consuming anything sour makes the liver and gallbladder get rid of toxins, so real lime juice can also work.
Mix the juice of half a lemon with warm water. Cold water causes vasoconstriction in the stomach, resulting in less blood flow to the area, whereas warm water causes vasodilatation and will help increase metabolic rate.
D-limonene's half life is 12-24 hours, so one warm cup of lemon water every morning should be sufficient.
