I think the water with the lemon (or lime :) slice is better for you. It has the benefit of the water along with the vitamin C and other nutrients of the lemon.
Flavored waters usually have additives and preservatives and while they may be better for you than drinking a COKE, they are not as good as drinking natural water.

I think water w/ lemon slices is just as healthy. I'm not so sure about flavored water. Read the labels at the back!

Go for the water with lemon, you will get a few extra nutrients from the fruit. Flavored water contains additives, sometimes sugar or sweeteners that are not useful to your body. They will contribute to hydration but for health plain water (or with lemon) is the absolute best.

Water with lemon slices are healthy and good
the only difference is that it taste better

Yes, but only if they don't contain artificial sweeteners. The lemon in the water is especially good because the lemon adds vitamin C and will also cut the grease from the meal you are eating

Flavored water is the same as plain water ONLY if it's sugar and caffeine free. Aspartame is NOT good for you. Water with lemon or lime is the same as regular water.

The water with the lemons is better because you get some additional vitamins.

The added lemon or lemon juice helps alkalize the body. It is a healthy addition, but don't add sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Some are okay if they are anturally flavored but be careful with the ones with sacrin ( sweet n low) too much is not good for you
