Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 5 hours agoDo these kinds of buffers have health benefits? Why is it good to drink water that has buffering capacity?

All of that fancy chemistry goes out the window because your stomach is full of a strong acid which completely obliterates the buffer solution.

Mixing sodium bicarbonate into water, even with just a teaspoon of acid like vinegar or lemon juice added, is still a good antacid.

I have no idea. I am a chemical engineer, this question has to be answered by a biologist or physician.

Then how is it not dumb, doctor?

It’s not dumb in the sense that water that is not alkaline is not the same as water that is alkaline with some added acid.
In Eastern Europe the soft drink created by mixing sodium bicarbonate into water and then adding a tea spoon of lemon juice or vinegar to it was an oft used refreshment before the 80s.
