What does /fit/ think of alkaline water? Should i drop 1k and get one?
just take some alkaline batteries and throw them in a glass of water. be sure to break them first
cranberry juice has the same pH as alk water, plus pure h2o is not affected by electrolysis
has /fit/ heard of teh health benefits? people claim it cures cancer and prevents in mostly. weight loss, energy gain, clearer thinkingtis epichttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMy8Aq12Ogs
>>262259What the fuck is alkaline water?
most things we drink and eat are acidic, including soda, orange juice, even bottle water.alkaline water is the opposite, it's basic
seems like complete and utter quackeryhumans have gotten along just fine drinking pH <7 water for years and years and years
>>262354IAWTPI don't really see how it would significantly do anything. The body maintains a certain pH for everything, like the pH of your blood if you aren't sick/dying/dead is always going to be between 7.35 and 7.45. These pHs are maintained by a system of buffers, so any increase in acidity or alkalinity is going to cause the buffer system to nudge in the opposite direction and null any effect the original substance had. And anyway what would "alkaline water" have that Tums or other antacids don't? If for whatever kooky reason you want more weak bases in your diet there are much cheaper ways to get them.
You guys realize that regular drinking water is not pH 7.0.Carbon dioxide is dissolved in water forming carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is a weak acid. Some of it gives off a proton and becomes bicarbonate. Bicarbonate also acts as a weak acid. Some of it gives off another proton to become carbonate ions.
Ray Kurtzweil drinks it, he r smartest guy on planet and doesn't afraid of anything.
>>262691Oh yeah. Forgot my point.The point is that pretty much all drinking water, whether that's the water out of your tap, your water purifier, or a bottle, is slightly acidic.
