Anyone know why a fresh lemon is recommended to drink with warm water instead of lemon juice? Is lemon juice ok as a substitute? I will be buying tons of lemons otherwise.

I really don't know...I buy tons of lemons, smash them up in my nutribullet, sift out the pulp and add it to my jugs of water to drink all day long.

I always buy fresh organic lemons, add stevia and sometimes some fresh mint leaves to it.

Bottled lemon juice can be made of concentrate, and/or contain additives. It also has been acidified so that it keeps a constant level of acidity, whereas fresh lemon juice is alkaline (although it has a sour taste).

My vote is on fresh lemons...due to additives.

Thanks for the info. I will be buying a lot of lemons. Do they stay fresh in the fridge?

I keep mine in the fridge with no problem.

Cppoly fresh is always better than something that's been processed and who knows what else gets added that can harm you.

I keep them in the fridge. Check them regularly cause sometimes 1 can get bad way before the rest and 'infect' the good ones.

Im voting for fresh lemons as well. I was coming down with a nasty cold and drank tons of lemon water and it cleared up fast.

No, no! No bottled stuff! It's full of junk, so it won't detox you. :)

Thanks for asking this question. I have been adding the lemon juice and wondered about the additives. So no one feels the juice is effective? Lemonsns are expensive but I want to do what will help.
