Thumbs up to the author...was actually searching hot toddy's but was entertained by the string of comments...Was always curious about this though. Thanks Ross...

I would only like to ask this of the author. Since most foods do break down into sugar, whether it be a fast transition or a slow one, what do you eat? Wonderful article… more entertaining than informative though.

I would only like to ask this of the author.

As you aware honey is natural sugar and the during the production of honey bees produce special enzyme which will help human body to readily absorb the honey. Where as the table sugar has to lot of protein, enzyme treatment during production. Obviously it is not good for the body as it increases the Ph level. Mixture of honey and lemon combination is acceptable to body as the lemon acts as alkali thus neutralizing the acidic level of honey. Honey phenol extracts separated on the base of their hydrophobicity were evaluated for the antioxidant content and for the ability to inhibit oxidative damage induced by radical species generated in the water phase or in the membrane of human erythrocytes. The water and ether fractions obtained from crude methanol extract of honey exhibited a phenolic content of 5.33 and 2.62 mg caffeic acid equivalents/100 g honey, respectively. These values correlate well with those of total antioxidant power, as assessed by FRAP assay (37.67 vs. 10.65 ?mol/100 g honey). Flavonoid contents were 2.57 and 1.64 mg catechin equivalents/100 g honey for ether and water fractions, respectively. Although both honey fractions protect erythrocytes against 2,2?-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride-induced lysis, only the ether fraction was found to be active in inhibiting hemolysis but not methemoglobin and ferrylhemoglobin formation caused by H2O2. In addition, the ether fraction prevents tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced lipid peroxidation in whole erythrocytes and in isolated membranes. The significant antioxidant effect against damages induced by both water-soluble and hydrophobic exogenous oxidants suggests that the ether fraction, owing to its lipophilic character, can interact with red blood cell membrane, and the protective effect can be associated with the binding of the flavonoids to the membrane. On the other hand, the water fraction is more hydrophilic than ether fraction and it acts only from the outside of the membrane by scavenging the radicals before they attack the erythrocyte membrane. (Honey flavonoids as protection agents against oxidative damage to human red blood cells by Manuela Blasaa, Manila Candiraccia, Augusto Accorsia, Maria Piera Piacentinia and Elena Piatti) Thus honey has a anti-oxidative property. So I could say it is better to mix honey in the lemon water would benefit where the side effects are almost zero!! And the second topic which is discussed most here is honey and lemon water will reduce weight? To certain extent it is true. When you drink good amount of water on empty stomach it flushes away all the toxins in the body. After drinking good amount of water you are in a state of filled!! where you tend to eat less quantity of breakfast than normal. When the person is feeling thirsty signals are transmitted through nerves. The thirst and hunger centers are located at hypothalamus. In most of the condition thirst signals are read as hunger signal where the person is thirsty but tend to eat food. When body is well hydrated well this will not occur. when you eat less you gain less. Stomach is a wonderful organ which can really expand or shrink in size. If the person is eating more stomach will expand and the it need more food to be in the state of satisfied. If the person is eating less the stomach shrinks in size and a person can be satisfied with little food. Overall there is definitely benefits from drinking honey and the water. Hope to get more discussions on this topic. Thanks for the wonderful blog. G'day Hi Ross,

First of all lets say I LIKE COFFEE! Second I LIKE LEMON WATER! So if I put lemon in my coffee will that make it more alkaline?? OK Guys and Gals,
I’ve been reading posts and I have a question. First of all lets say I LIKE COFFEE! Second I LIKE LEMON WATER! So if I put lemon in my coffee will that make it more alkaline??
