    don't be fearful, lemon is great for you. i personally will juice a lemon in one of those old glass hand juicers and add it to water several times a day, and pretty much live off of fruit juices for a few years with nothing but benefits. [raw foodist/fruitarian]

    I believe that if you check with your dentist you will find that lemon is very damaging to tooth enamel. How about trying something else to flavor your water? There are quite a few products on the market where you put just a few drops in water for flavor, and they are really VERY good!

    Use a straw, you will be fine. Lemon is much better then those chemicals that you can buy to add to water.

    It is fine depending on how much lemon you use, but a slice if two used to add some flavout to the water isn't going to harm you.

    Lemon has a lot of acid in it, therefore it is bad for your teeth.
