      Oh good lord no. Who knows what bacteria they’ll start ingesting because the water is “raw”

      Reminds me of “beef milk” from Parks and Rec.

      People have been pushing raw water for decades.

    Yeah, but with lemon flavour. I think the idea is if you started with plain water, then added lemon, you’d now have lemon flavoured acidic water. If you start with alkaline water, you’d end up with lemon flavoured neutral water.

      since the pH scale is logarithmic^-1^ you’d need to be veeeery particular about the amount of lemon. i think you need 100l water to neutralize 1ml lemon juice

    Yes, but lemony.

      And with juuuuust a tiny bit more sugar so the bacteria in your mouth can create more acid to bathe your teeth in way longer than the water remains in your mouth, nice.

        Practically, it's probably a wash (both ph wise and sugar wise) but way better for you than soda.

    yeah but if you want lemon flavoured water…

  The level of pH difference we’re talking about here is negligible. You’re constantly bathing your teeth in your (slightly acidic) spit and swallowing your spit all the time, the very few moments your teeth come into contact with slightly more alkaline water have no lasting influence. Plain tap-water (also slightly alkaline with a pH of ~7.5 in most of the US) would have the very same effect.

  Brushing your teeth after a meal and abstaining from sugary drinks is where the difference is at, Everything else is talking about if Mount Everest is higher when you place a grain of sand on top… technically yes, but no.

    Poor drink water. I need emotional support water that costs $10 per bottle. Prestige water.

      They already have fiji water which iirc the last time I saw any study of microplastics in water supplies had the least of any bottled water, how much more prestigious does it need to brew

        Study after study had shown that most tap water from a reasonably well-maintained public water supply has less microbes and pollutants than bottled water. Most of the time it also tastes better.
