  This one always makes me crazy. Our stomachs work to keep an acidic environment for our protection and digestion.

  Hey! Maybe I should sand off the skin on my body to get more vitamin D when I sunbathe! 🫪

  It’s marketing bs because there is pseudoscience that the cause of cancer and other illnesses is from acids and alkaline water will prevent you from those illnesses even though it’s completely bunk and push by the same people who think essential oils can heal you too

  Just add a little squirt of lemon for flavour.

  It can be handy in the short term. After a few days of greasy festival food my gerd was acting up (it was worth it), so I got some alkaline water to sip on the long drive home, and it helped keep things a little calmer. Long term though there’s no reason for it.

    Wouldn’t a Tums be just as effective? And cheaper?

  It is good for reflux, as it helps to remove acidity from the esophagus.

  But after it gets to the stomach and meets your stomach acid, it doesn’t matter. It’s not gonna change stomach acidity or pH level in intestines, but can help with reflux symptoms and avoid esophagal erosion, ehich can lead to cancer.

  So it’s something that is useful, but for different reasons than most people think.

  You really have a problem with the alkaline water and not cutting someone’s face and sewing in place of yours?
