I read something rather disturbing today, and at the same time reassuring. Its a serious health risk that anyone following a juicing regime should be aware of… There are many benefits from drinking lemon water, but one awful downside risk.
Read this article to learn what personal habits are probably making it worse and how you can easily avoid the risk.
Its from Dr Sara Solomon, who is answering a question she’s often asked…
Here is a common dental question people ask me:
“I drink hot water with raw lemon every single morning, but I heard from a dentist that it’s terrible for the enamel. Is this true?
Is there anything I can do to protect my teeth but still drink it?
Does water temperature make a difference?”
Here is a common dental question people ask me:For Dr Solomon’s explanation of the problem, & solution recommendations read on to Next Page…

The endless cycle of “you should do this” then “this is really bad for you”. The older you get, the harder you laugh at every new bull$#%&!@* thing to come down the pipe telling people what is and isn’t good for them. Here’s a tip,* doing anything habitually is bad for you *, you’re welcome, the sum total of my new book.
You can drink lemon water or tea or coffee through a straw and not expose your teeth to the problem

So much advertising on that page, it took too long to look for the article!!!
A few drops of pure lemon oil offers all the benefits and no dental risk.
Absolutely love anything like this
I hate these stories and you try to read them and all you get are advertisements and no clue how to get to the information!!!!
Hi Lillian Chilelli Giannotti, so do I! Drives me nuts…That’s why we always have a very large “Next Page” link on our posts to make it easy to follow through.
If you are not seeing these links, please let me know what kind of device you are using – maybe there’s a tech issue…. Thanks, Ruth
I won’t jump through hoops to read something. You can always goggle.
Me, too! I have stopped trying to look at things like this because of how frustrating it is. Not worth it at all!
Lost me when they said to brush with fluoride.
Did The Dentist Mention The Health Effects Of Fluoride On Your Overall Health?.. Or Recommend It As Beneficial?
Hi Darlene Brown, Don’t be mis-lead by scaremongering…
For a rational statement on the benefits and risks of fluoride, check this out: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Fluoride/Pages/Introduction.aspx
Hi Scena Vandagriff, why?
Look up the origins of fluoride and how detrimental it is to our health. Specifically … byproduct of aluminum processing and the desire to find a dollar producing use for a hazardous material.
Hi Drink Me Healthy…. ThAnkh~U For The Link… Though I Reside In The USA…
I use a glass straw for drinking lemon water. Saves the tooth enamel.
A red flag to me! Fluoride has compromised the health of many by placing it in our water supplies. Children don’t get a vote in this…Most are aware of this fact.
I know me too I’ve just about given up trying to read stories any more It just pisses me off
I’m pretty sure there’s a lot worse things for your teeth
Hi Susan Heney, Scena Vandagriff, thanks for your comments… In the UK, they take a more moderate view…Its obviously controversial, but don’t be mis-lead by scaremongering…For a rational statement on the benefits and risks of fluoride, check this out: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Fluoride/Pages/Introduction.aspx
It’s annoying to have to keep clicking “Next Page” after every half page. What ever happened to articles that tell you what you want to know all on ONE PAGE?
Hi Carrie Carton Marshall, thanks for your feedback. I get it ok… I’m guessing – are you using a desktop computer or large tablet? Remember we have to serve the majority of visitors who use smartphones or small tablets. Hence the smaller typical “page” size… Hope this makes sense? Regards, Ruth
I am on a laptop, but I use my phone too, and I looked at the same article on my phone just to see the difference. I still don’t get the benefit of clicking to the next page when I could just scroll down.
This is a jumk page, impossible to read…

Thanks for sharing.
Two tablespoon of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother upon waking with warm water 8oz also very healthy more healthy than lemon . 😉 Learn more here~ http://authoritynutrition.com/6-proven-health-benefits-of-apple-cider-vinegar/
There is no such thing as “moderate” fluoride exposure. Its in the foods we eat, even those we prepare ourselves. Why add insult to injury and expose yourself to even more in your toothpaste? Also, it is the acid in lemon that may cause dental issue, but if using the rind,like in a good quality, cold pressed lemon essential oil, that issue in non existant
That’s the best answer by far! Thanks for coinbirutntg.
Hi Renee Messing, as I’ve said before, don’t be mis-lead by scaremongering…

Yes, its a view from the UK…Best regards, Ruth
You say that like you know me. Science background here. ..
Its easier to read the comments and get the jist of the article! Rather than going through all that advertisment!
30 years ago my dentist said I should never use a fluoride toothpaste. The by product of aluminum manufacturing. If you read the history behind the insidious way it was allowed to be put in our water system, that tells a lot. Calcium Fluoride is naturally occurring in water. Sodium fluoride is not, thats what the municipal water systems are poisoned with. a smidgen of investigation will result in a multitude of exposure of the real facts.
Thanks for your input John Large. After my “smidgen of research” some time back, I conluded – this is a controversial issue on which there are very strong opinions on both sides, and that UK takes a very different view from USA, probably because of different standards of implementation… Best regards, Ruth
Most ALL sugar free gum has Aspertame in it. In which causes cancer.
this site tried to give me a virus
Hi Jackie Hayes, We treat any reports such as yours very seriously, and have run our security tests on the site. We did not find any virus on the site. Could you please let me know which page you were on, and if possible send me a copy of the message you received to info@kenj4.sg-host.com
Thank you, Ruth B
When I clicked on the sight,I clicked on how I could prevent it,then this alert came up and said I had a virus, and I had to call this number to fix it 1-855-906-4234, It wouldn’t let me get out of it, no matter what I did. so I clicked ok . but I never called the no. I was then able to return to facebook
Hi Jackie Hayes, Many thanks for coming back. Let me see if I’ve understood you correctly: First, you clicked a link to kenj4.sg-host.com (thank you!). That took you to the “Lemon Water” article page.
Then you clicked on something that said “…how you could prevent it”. I’m not sure what this was.. Was it the “Next Page” button after the line “OK, but how can I protect my teeth?”?
Let me know and I’ll investigate further.
Be assured, there is no virus infection on DrinkMeHealthy. the only thing I can think of is that there may have been an Advert link to an Anti-virus product which somehow was clicked. Some of these are far too agressive…
Let me know and I’ll follow it up
Thanks again. Ruth B
I made it 3 pages in with your next page links and said forget it. Put the whole article on one page. Your page will be now blocked from appearing in my news feed.
Fluorodated toothpaste? WTH?
I don’t even use toothpaste anymore, much less fluoridated. I use homemade tooth powder, bentonite clay, coconut oil, hydrogen peroxide. I hardly ever use the same thing twice in a row.
I have did it for years,I am fine! So…. Your input I guess!
I clicked to read it and when I clicked to the 2nd page I got a big virus alert.
Hi Sally Dillon, Many thanks for letting me know. We’ve checked the website, and can confirm there is no virus issue on the web page. Best regards, Ruth B
Amazing very informative I love NutriBullet
NOT washing the out side of that Lemon. Or not buying organic.
It’s something wrong with everything you put in your mouth pray and clean it before you put in your mouth and keep going
Thanks 🙂
Agreed :
Cool info 🙂
love the post

Truly!!
Skin of the lemon actually has more good stuff in it than the actual lemon so keep the skin and benefit is it won’t have the acidity level of the lemon either.
Use a straw when you drink it to save your tooth enamel.
Darryl Chubb Snoddy
Ahhh man. And we drunk a lot of it that weekend lol

Its always something
Hi Suzanne Ingram what’s always something??

Thanks That’s What I Was Going To Say I Drink Mine Almost Everyday And I Use A Straw In Fact It Came with The Jar.!
Luckily… Lemons are an Alkaline !!!!! YEA !! Not acidic !
Lemons are not Acidic you guys
Hi Debbie Filson Shapiro, yes, but… that’s an over-simplification. Everyone knows lemons are a “citrus” fruit and by their nature feature citric acid… However, there is an aspect of truth in your comment…
“There is often misunderstanding of lemon’s pH outside the body versus inside the body. Let’s get this straight and expound on 10 benefits of regularly taking lemon juice with warm water (note: NOT equal to lemonade!)
Outside the body, lemon juice is acidic (pH is below 7). This is a non-issue. Everyone knows this. It’s a citrus fruit.
Inside the body however, when lemon juice has been fully metabolized and its minerals are dissociated in the bloodstream, its effect is alkalizing and therefore raises the pH of body tissue (pH above 7 is alkaline). Please notice the difference.
Hi Debbie Filson Shapiro, see our reply to your similar comment above…
You lost me with the fluoride recommendation
