“Influencers discover this surprising health hack: drinking ‘raw’ water”

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 17 points 11 months ago

Oh good lord no. Who knows what bacteria they'll start ingesting because the water is "raw"

[-] hakase@lemmy.zip 10 points 11 months ago

Reminds me of "beef milk" from Parks and Rec.

This will be RFK’s new thing.

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

I hear they're gonna nerf it in the next patch, though.

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.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 3 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Venat0r@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

yeah but if you want lemon flavoured water...
