I don’t know why people are so obsessed with water. Just move on with your life.
It's OK to just like lemon water.

Gwyneth seems to mean well albeit ignorant, but I don’t know how Chris Martin put up with her for so long in their marriage. I don’t even know what he saw in her if she is a cuckoo from the start.

I’m serious. Hanlons razor, that stupid rule of thumb, has probably caused the most harm of any phrase ever uttered.

I am of the opinion that Hanlon’s Razor best applies to isolated or infrequent occurrences. When something has been going on for monrhs or years that hurts or takes advantage of people, the more likely explanation becomes malice.

The best way to remain beautiful your whole life is being born in a family of (white) millionaires, remain a millionaire through inheritance and by working on your family’s cushy business without ever having to worry about nothing for not even a second of your life and also having access and being able to aford the most modern and technological advancements in beauty. If that is not enough and you still feel time is getting close you can create your own fake science and get even more money (maybe that helps?)

Just an aside, you can make Alkaline lemon water.
It do it:
- Peel a lemon using a vegetable peeler
- Squeeze the bits of peel (pith side up) into a glass or bottle. This allows you to express the oils from the peel.
- 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.

Sorry to disappoint y’all. This is actually not so dumb. Chemically she makes a buffer solution.
How a Buffer Solution Works: Example with Baking Soda and Citric Acid
A buffer solution is a system that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acids or bases are added. Buffers are essential in chemistry and biology because many processes require a stable pH.
How Buffer Solutions Work
A buffer usually consists of a weak acid and its corresponding conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid). When an acidic or basic substance is introduced, the buffer reacts to neutralize the added ions, thus stabilizing the pH.
- When an acid (H⁺) is added, the buffer’s base component reacts with it, “soaking up” the excess H⁺ ions.
- When a base (OH⁻) is added, the acid part of the buffer reacts with it, neutralizing the excess OH⁻ ions.
The ability of a buffer to do this depends on the presence of both a weak acid and its conjugate base in appreciable amounts.
Buffer Example: Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) and Citric Acid
Ingredients Involved
- Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃): A weak base that can act as a proton acceptor.
- Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇): A weak acid, commonly found in citrus fruits.
When these two substances are dissolved in water, they interact according to the following reaction:
$$ \text{C}_6\text{H}_8\text{O}_7 + \text{NaHCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_7\text{O}_7^- + \text{Na}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2\uparrow $$
This reaction creates a mixture containing both citric acid (weak acid) and its conjugate base (citrate ion).
How This Buffer System Functions
- If an acid is added to the solution (increasing H⁺), the citrate ion (Citrat-Anion) from the reaction will bind to the excess H⁺, lessening the pH shift.
- If a base is added (increasing OH⁻), the leftover citric acid will release H⁺, which neutralizes the OH⁻, keeping the pH stable.
Key Point:
This buffer is only effective within a certain pH range, which in this case is close to the pKa value of citric acid (around 3-7 depending on which proton is being lost, as citric acid is a triprotic acid).Summary Table
Component Role Action if acid is added Action if base is added Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇) Weak acid Conjugate base absorbs H⁺ Releases more H⁺ to neutralize OH⁻ Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) Weak base (forms buffer) Provides conjugate base (citrate ion) Provides weak acid (citric acid) This mixture resists pH changes thanks to the reversible interplay between the weak acid (citric acid) and its conjugate base (citrate ion), demonstrating the core principle of buffer solutions.

The point isn’t the apparent health benefits of applying the worlds mildest buffer to a ph 2 solution, it’s that it’s the sales equivalent of dehydrationmonoxide.
Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 months ago
Stomach acid is much more acidic for this buffer to function and even then you shouldn’t need anything of this sort, well, unless your body fails to regulate it’s own secretions (in that case, go to a doctor for gods sake!) At most this would provide you with some nutrients and minerals.
Agent641@lemmy.world 4 months ago
To be fair the top commenter is just explaining what a buffer solution is, and why “adding lemon to alkaline water” isn’t just creating a neutral pH saltwater. They aren’t justifying it’s use as a healthy tonic or anything. I learned something from the comment.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Do these kinds of buffers have health benefits? Why is it good to drink water that has buffering capacity?

Wouldn’t this just to counteract some of the acidity in the lemon and so it has extra minerals? Doesn’t seem that stupid.

Just seems pointless. If you like less acidic taste just use less lemon juice. Nobody is Vitamin C deficient unless they’re dirt poor or have some other health stuff going on

I have witnessed the American diet. It mostly appears to be high fructose corn syrup drink, burger, fries and microplastics.
I would assume there is a small amount of vitamin C in ketchup and trace amounts in the lettuce on the burger. But I’m not sure how much you would have to consume to meet your daily intake.

Alkaline water does have a place for LPR sufferers like me because it deactivates the pepsin that has vaporized and deposited itself in my esophagus and throat which when activated by acidic foods will begin to digest my soft tissues.

I believe the purpose is to reduce the overall acidity of your body, which it will do. Your stomach acid will compensate, but it loses acidic compounds in the process to do so. But mixing in other acids does negate at least some of the effectiveness.
bjorney@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Stomach acid is like 10,000,000x more acidic than most alkaline water is basic. Dilution is probably doing an order of magnitude more work than the hydroxide here

The most important thing to keep in mind with celebrity actors is that they make a living pretending to be someone/something they’re not. And they’re damn good at it too.
Not to cast doubt on everyone in that profession. Rather, proceed with an abundance of skepticism when considering celebrity endorsements.
