Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water.

  It absolutely will not. If it did, it would kill you.

  Then what does that mean?

    They said:

    1. Alkaline water won’t change your body’s pH.
    2. Changing your body’s pH would kill you.

    Since alkaline water does not change body pH, it would not necessarily kill the drinker.

      Ok. Then they’re wrong. The human body’s overall pH can vary within to a small degree with little to no effect on your health, let alone kill you. Changing the pH in small amounts, particularly in different areas like the stomach, will not typically harm the body at all. The entire purpose of some medications like antacids is to do that specifically with the stomach, for example.

      1. It originally said it would change your bodies pH.

    Probably either referring to a non-negligible difference or to how being alkaline enough to make a real difference would make it basically poisonous.

    I’m no phlebectomist, so I can’t say whether they’re right about it or not 🤷🏻

      You replied to me, dude. And I said me than one thing. Idk what the hell you’re claiming will kill you.
