Lemon Water: The Facts

We’ve all seen the posts: lemon water is supposed to detox your body, boost your metabolism, and give you glowing skin before your morning coffee. But is this citrusy wellness trend really the miracle it’s made out to be?

In this episode of Talking with Docs, Dr. Paul Zalzal and Dr. Brad Weening break down the real science behind lemon water. As Royal College-certified orthopedic surgeons, they cut through the online noise to answer questions like:

• Can it help you lose weight?
• Is it good or bad for your teeth and digestion?

With their signature mix of humour and straight-up facts, the docs separate myth from reality—so you can make informed choices without the hype.
