Just an aside, you can make Alkaline lemon water.

It do it:

  1. Peel a lemon using a vegetable peeler
  2. Squeeze the bits of peel (pith side up) into a glass or bottle. This allows you to express the oils from the peel.
  3. Add your Alkaline water to the Glass, the oils will rise to the top, some of it (very little as oils are hydrophobic) will mix with the water, giving it a lemon flavor similar to lacroix.

Not defending pseudoscientific health regimens, but the acid in "a spritz of lemon" doesn't neutralize an arbitrary amount of alkalinity

I think it was Angela Collier that did a pretty basic test with a common store bought alkaline water, a lemon and some test strips. The water doesn't start very alkaline at all.

edit: Yep, here we go. https://youtu.be/rBQhdO2UxaQ

It's an amusing video.

I thought it was about the minerals in alkaline water, not the ph itself?

because the body must "grip" the egg to keep it inside the vagina, sellers claim jade egg use also strengthens vaginal muscles.

I dont think most people that specifically purchase it know what alkaline water is.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Apparently it works better than rechargable water.

Call me old-fashioned, but if it doesn't run on diesel, I'm not drinking it!

Unrelated but they put out water at my work that's like just tap water sitting in a dispenser that they'll sometimes slice like, a couple oranges or lemons or cucumbers into. It adds no flavor and just wastes the fruit or cucumbers

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I've tasted cucumber water and can definitely taste the cucumber (I also drink unsweetened seltzers). I wonder why theirs isn't working.

Putting a single cucumber into gallons of water isn't gonna do nothin

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 3 points 8 hours ago

I frickin love cucumber water

[–] gobble_ghoul@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago

Maybe they're just skimping on it. Cucumber water is pretty good with a couple slices per glass.
