Myth: Lemon water burns fat.

What science says

No drink burns fat. Lemon water is mostly water with a little vitamin C and negligible energy. Any benefit people notice usually comes from drinking more water instead of sugary drinks.

BhojVigyan take

Enjoy lemon water because you like it and it helps you drink water — not as a fat-loss tool.
