Posted by MyStarsShinehmm.. vinegar is acidic, so it makes the water more acidic not alkaline but I get your idea. maybe i should do that to the alkaline water i just bought...
You can just add lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to normal sping water......does the same thing
I add two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water before each meal. It keeps the body alkaline and also good for weight control

Posted by TachibanaSanmaybe i'll do lemon instead of vinegar, but yeah lemon = citric acid, so should make it more acidic, not alkaline eh?
Lemon and water.
Is the same thing.
Posted by MyStarsShineno, but the water they are selling is alkaline, taking water and making it acidic is not the same, when it goes into your body, your body compensates by various ways. the health folks argue that the compensation your body does to make alkaline water into normal pH is healthier for you than what your body does to make acidic water into normal pH.Posted by rabidtalkerPosted by MyStarsShinehmm.. vinegar is acidic, so it makes the water more acidic not alkaline but I get your idea. maybe i should do that to the alkaline water i just bought...

Lemons have alkalizing effect
when digested inside the body.
Chemistry and science.
On the pH scale, a score of 7 is considered neutral. Anything measuring 6.9 or below is considered an acid, and anything rating 7.1 and above is considered an alkali. While water has a pH of 7, lemons are acidic, measuring at 2 to 3. The popular belief that lemons become alkaline during digestion isn't upheld by science. Under no circumstances can an acidic food alkalize your blood, said Kat Day, a chemist and science blogger in Oxfordshire, England. Because foods are not known to alter the pH of your blood or body, lemons won't acidify you either. Drinking lemon juice with water may increase the acid level of your urine, however, which is a sign that your kidneys are doing their job -- ridding you of excess acid.click to expand
Posted by rabidtalkerCrazy you mention this. I was just researching this.
Well? it's REALLY expensive, like $ 1.50 instead of 0. $ 25 here a gallon....Worth it? Is it really healthy at all?
Anyone use it and feel better or anything?
Posted by MyStarsShinethe reason why your urine is acidic is because you are adding acid into your system so your body compensates by making your urine acidic, it's expelling what you are adding.
If you want to test the lemon/cider vinegar thing, take a sample of your urine and test it with a ph strip.....speaks for itself
Posted by EvilHareAlka-Seltzer contains three active ingredients; aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) (ASA), sodium bicarbonate, and anhydrous citric acid. The aspirin is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, and the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid form an antacid by their effervescent reaction with water.
The citric acid in lemons actually has an antacid effect on the stomach, hence why it's used in Alka Seltzer, but your body regulates it's pH balance independent of anything you eat or drink. If your body is swinging one way or the other on the pH scale, then you have serious health problems.

Posted by LushA friend of mine takes half a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with the juice of half a lemon and some water every day and her body has a healthy level of acid/alkaline. She never gets sick
You can also drink warm water with a teaspoon of baking soda. It's not very pleasant, but it wards off oncoming colds/viruses because it can't live in an alkaline body. I have had a cold only once in the last 10 years.

Posted by LadyNeptune...or just don't eat like shit?
Lots of food like carbs are acidic in nature and fats hold onto acids. There are studies that show some correlation between having higher levels of acidity leading to stroke, heart disease, cancer etc.
Much better to maintain a more alkaline level. I'd suggest taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with honey in some water every day. More effective and much cheaper than buying alkaline water.
Make sure its organic. Don't drink it straight, could burn your esophagus.
Or you can get the pill form.
*bonus: its an appetite suppressor.
Posted by EvilHareThe stuff i'm reading says the higher pH is to compensate more for the calcium leeching which occurs when in low pH (which is worse for your bones). The cancer stuff, perhaps but there are better ways to attack cancer anyways.
The whole pH balance for inflammation/cancer thing stems from one study that showed that cancer cells couldn't live in an alkaline environment in vitro.
But in vitro is not in situ. In vitro, you can kill cancer cells with all kinds of things. Salt, bleach, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. You wouldn't in a million years inject that shit into people in high enough doses to kill cancer cells.
The level of alkalinity needed to kill the cancer cells would cause a great deal of damage to an actual living person since it's outside the range our body needs to function.
Posted by EvilHareYes they do. It's called chemo haha.

But yeah, I lol anytime I see all this "remedy" bullshit touted by anyone who knows fuck all about basic physiology. People are just so arrogant that they think they have to go and do all this shit for their body when the body works in homeostasis.

Posted by rabidtalkerI had a small freckle on my body which developed into what looked like a melanoma. I visited my GP and she told me to stay out of the sun and keep my eye on it to see if it grew. It started to get larger and redder. I mixed some bread soda and virgin olive oil and kept it coated for a couple of weeks

Overweight people tend to be at higher risk for diseases because they eat like shit and/or consume too much of these foods that put them at such risk factors.
Drinking stupified water isn't going to fix those problems. It's another fad put out there for the lazy and stupid that don't want to do it the right way.
