I ran a state certified analytical water testing laboratory for a few years and I was very often pained by misinformation coming through our door. We would run city water for people, although the data was already openly published because individuals thought the data was "fabricated". We had people bring in their own raw stream water and be very confused when we presented high bacterial concentrations along with high nitrates from farm runoff. We tried our best to speak to people and educate them, but it was often futile. It's good to hear your take on this, I really appreciate and share your videos.

There is a huge misunderstanding about "electrolytes" in things like Gatorade, and why they're needed. When you sweat a lot (like say when running a marathon), you lose salt by sweating. Drinking plain water can dilute the remaining salt and give you something called hyponatremia which is dangerous. Something like Gatorade replenishes these lost salts. If you aren't an athlete who is sweating a lot, Gatorade won't really benefit you. It'll just make you drink more water and pee more to get rid of the excess salt.

Hey Dave thanks for making the video. I work in the water treatment field. People seem to really get confused by the terms alkaline and water and don't really understand what's happening. I deal with this question in our business all of the time. A lot of clients seem to think alkaline water is better for them. Firstly they don't exactly understand what it is thats different about the water other than it has "more minerals". This is true, but to articulate this point a little further, they don't realize how insignificant the difference in mineral content is between "alkaline water" and for example Reverse Osmosis water. When we separate the water molecules in a reverse osmosis membrane, it reduces the total dissolved solids to about 0-1 parts per million. What the consumer calls "alkaline" water is actually just very lightly remineralized water, and on average only has about 24-32 parts per million TDS. This is a very very insignificant difference considering in many municipal water sources, the TDS metre usually will read at over 1000 ppm. Considering we get nearly all the minerals our body seems to need from simply a proper diet, the argument for alkaline water, or more correctly termed, acid neutralized water, holds up less and less. Wanted to share that with you.

Also probably worth noting the very toxic sources of water out there like the region of Greenland which has rocks with extremely high concentrations of mercury which get carried out to sea by glaciers. It has more mercury than industrial waste but it is wholly "natural" and speaking of water those typically volcanic extreme PH lakes/pools which will completely dissolve your body away in minutes to hours. And regarding poisons like hemlock there are tons of biological poisons nature has concocted like ricin or botulism. However I think the best counterargument against the whole nature=good fallacy is the existence of parasitoids nothing says "wonderful" like being paralyzed and eaten alive from the inside out. While they served as the inspiration for the Xenomorphs ironically Xenomorphs were toned down because the real parasitoids were considered too terrifying.

It comes from drinking water containing Giardia, which is a unicellular eukaryote parasite with a true nucleus, like the malaria parasite. This was in Edson, Alberta about 100 miles from the Rocky Mtns. I have back packed up into Alberta's Rocky Mountains where you can get fresh mountain water from melting glaciers. We ALWAYS treated it with tablets, water filters, or by boiling.

Speaking of detox, just a few days ago I was reading a book on toxicology and in it was a rather graphic description of what detoxification actually means in a technical/scientific context. So, if you've eaten something dangerous such as the wrong kinds of mushrooms, or if the Russian government is out there to get you and has slipped something harmful to your drink, there may be a way to detoxify your system and avoid fatal damage to your organs. It may involve drinking something that will make you vomit like you're about to die, but doing so may still save your life. Oh, and there are also some situations where a doctor will prescribe you to take a massive dose of laxatives. In that case, you'll be pooping out the toxins like you're about to die, and this may save your life and potentially even prevent you from ever needing a liver transplant. Isn't detoxification fun and great? How is actual detoxification related to this fake detoxification marketed by snake oil merchants? Not in any way, shape or form. Detox is harsh and brutal. You really don't want to have anything to do with detox unless your life depends on it.

@johnfitzgerald88792 жыл бұрын
@@granthurlburt4062 That's my kind of thinking about the basics... "An acid is a solution that has a higher concentration of positively charged hydrogen ions (H) than negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH)." Thing is, the acid, by itself, has as many H+ as, lets say, CL-. Now, someone commented that a base is specifically more OH−. Water, itself, is H2O and can disassociate into an H+ and an OH-. So it has both acid and base in it, just in equal quantities, making in neutral. Some article about water autoionization says that it is actually H3O+ and OH- that form. H3O+ is H2O with an H+ attached, so that works out electrically, but new to me. Now, hydrogen peroxide is not an acid or a base but has a free radical oxygen. I thought that this is because H2O2 gives up an oxygen that is not electrically neutral, I can't work out how and what exactly. Oxygen prefers to be in pairs as O2. It has 6 electrons in the outer shell (using the Bohr model?) The outer shell can contain 8 but the oxygen atom has 6 protons, so at 8 electrons is electrically neutral. It can accept two more electrons in the valence band. While Hydrogen Peroxide is shown as being 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + 1 O2, it obviously and momentarily be two oxygen atoms that then combine into an oxygen molecule. From what I can tell, all this is still electrically neutral but those oxygen molecules are still highly reactive. My point is that while acids and bases are reactive with their non-neutral electrical charge, there are other reactive atoms and molecules involving electrons. Also, HCL would yield H+ and CL-, making it electrically neutral (I think) but I read it has a pH of 1.1 at 3% concentation. That would have to be more H+s, right? And what is that CL-? It isn't a neutral atom, it's got that -. So also reactive, but doesn't make a base cuz a base is specifically on OH-? What was the original question? Oh, the assignment of + and - was given by Ben Franklin, as my science teacher told us. He had a 50/50 chance of getting it right and missed. That is why current flows in the opposite direction of the electron flow. Maybe that's what you read? And, of course, assigning pH+ and pH- would be equally as random, I'd think. So there we have it. After some research on the webbernet, I know a little more and understand it a lot less. This is why I hated college chemistry. 🤦♂
@fuabtreter7302 Жыл бұрын
@@johnfitzgerald8879 I had a few chemistry lectures in my first and second semester, so - while I don't fully remember or understand everything - I do know that chemistry can get very very complex. "An acid is a solution that has a higher concentration of positively charged hydrogen ions (H) than negatively charged hydroxide ions (OH)." this is roughly the definition of an "acid" according to Arrhenius. There are however different ideas of what an "acid" is. One such definition is that of Brönsted, where an acid is defined as a substance that gives off protons and a base is a substance that takes in protons. So in a way, Cl- would be a base. The Bohr model is also rather oversimplified and it doesn't accurately portray the distribution of electrons in the atom. From what I understand, there are different shapes of orbitals that essentially predict were an electron is most likely to be. This is important for understanding why a molecule isn't just aligned in a straight line (like how water molecules are angled). H2O is a very stable molecule but in H2O2 there is a peroxide bond (O-O) in the middle which is very unstable. So in a way, H2O2 isn't the problem, but it breaks apart really easily to form oxygen radicals which are extremely reactive because they have a free electron that isn't paired up (I don't really know a better way to describe it). Now for the real questions: pH (from my understanding) doesn't have a lot to do with the electrical charge of the solution. It is a sort of simplification of Ka, which is used to measure how "strong" an acid is. It is calculated by using the concentration of H3O+ ions in the solution, rather than the OH- ions (along with other components of course). The pH (where the "H" refers to the protons I guess) is calculated by using the negative logarithm of that (along with other math stuff). I think it is the negative logarithm because every number below 1 becomes negative when you calculate the logarithm of it so if you put "-" in front of it, it becomes positive and you have to write less. And "3,38" is just a lot easier to grasp than "1.77827941x10^-5". As to why we specifically use the concentration of H3O+ and OH-, I don't know, but a few things we calculate are in some relation to Hydrogen and Water, because that is seen as the "standard" substance (e.g. the Celsius-system, electrode potential). You can also calculate the Kb-value which uses the concentration of OH-ions and from that you can calculate the pOH, but it's probably easier to just use one of the two because they essentially say the same thing and it would get confusing otherwise. As for the "positive" and "negative" association for pH, I can only guess that because basic solutions have a higher pH, this is seen as more "positive" in the way that it's just a bigger number rather than a "good" thing. Although usually acids don't have a negative pH, so... yeah. I hope that made a little bit of sense, but I only passed 2 of my three chemistry exams in uni, so take everything with a grain of salt 😅

Different thing if you have the rarer laringo-pharingeal reflux, in which your upper oesophagus doesn't close properly, rather than the lower valve.

For these people, washing it constantly with alkaline water is very useful and can even solve the problem altogether, as it keeps neutralizing acid and denaturating digestive enzymes. If the water is expensive, a pinch of bicarbonate in your regular water should work just the same!

Something that most people don't know about lead, is that not only is there a whole host of reasons it's bad for humans, it's also really hard on plumbing. With some alloys of brass, the lead will displace the zinc in it, and the metal immediately starts losing its integrity. Here in Utah, there are a couple of aquifers that have naturally high lead concentrations. It's not drinkable, usable for livestock or farming, but some instustrial uses can get away with it. Like an initial washdown for something like a gravel plant. Brass plumbing fittings that would normally outlast the house they're put in were rotting away and crumbling within a couple of years. I fully expect, that when (god I hope it's a 'when' and that it's soon) they get the water cleared up in Flint, that they'll find their entire water infrastructure will have acculmulated decades worth of corrosion for every year it's been like this.

I've always found the idea of special types of water being sold a bit ridiculous. To me the only kind of special water you could sell is flavored water. However, I work at a tiny water bottling business in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and let me tell you that here you are not a con-man for selling bottled water, our water supply has waaay too many heavy minerals to be consumed regularly, so we just take them all out and add back in a bit of salt, that as far as I've been told is just to help the body retain the liquid it is ingesting.

This video is almost perfect, I just wished it pointed out that there is fluoride in most natural sources of drinking water- so people who buy "raw" water thinking there's no fluoride, well there could be far more fluoride than tap water. Super ironic, right? would have been a great point to make. Another thing is that the video kinda treated electrolytes like they are pointless. Electrolytes are extremely important for hydration. Usually eating gives you what you need but if you have an empty stomach and are sweating a lot, something like gatorade can be a life saver. And I mean a literal life saver. You may have heard stories of people getting water intoxication. This is because they are pounding water without enough electrolytes in their body. Seriously please look this up because I really feel this video is giving the wrong impression about electrolytes.

@@LuciferSerpentking lmao that's not true. Why would sodium fluoride calcify your pineal gland but calcium fluoride not calcify? Do you know what calcification is? It has to do with the build up of CALCIUM. LMAO. Anyway calcification of your pineal gland happens regardless to everyone by they are about age 12. It's harmless, and the pineal still does it's job, like producing melatonin. And what's your problem with sodium? It doesn't make things synthetic. Sodium is needed for the body- it's an electrolyte, and it's essential for your bodies as is calcium AND fluoride which is good for teeth and is unavoidable unless you want to go out of your way to avoid every single thing that has fluoride in it- which is not possible. You really have no idea what you're talking about.

You've single handedly restored my faith in humanity- not just the channel and the content but, the fact that I see so many ppl agreeing with you- what a relief. What kills me is that I grew up in the drug subculture- part of the hippy resurgence that took place back in the early nineties. We revived music festivals, LSD, but mostly- stupidity. We were just teenagers trying to figure shit out but- yeah, we were always considered the anti-establishment types, liberals in genral were back then. If you were liberal ppl just expected you were anti-establishment because you supported things like gay rights and legalizing weed. But now, the shoe has changed foot- it's not the same though. We had specific issues we were concerned about- not a blind hatred of government, academia, and everything they do or say. And we didn't run off chasing every crazy conspiracy theory in sight- nor refuse to change our minds when hard evidence was put in front of our face. Nor did we propose violence or insurrection as a possible solution. As a result- look around you, we got the change we sought - gays are able to marry now and have far more rights than ever before, weed is legal for recreational use in multiple states, and though women have a long road ahead of them still, it's happening. We you settle your difference with a ballot instead of a bullet, things get done.

@@gianni_schicchi "Why does the stomach acid not effect it?" Titration. Stomach acid is strong, but there's not a lot of it. So each molecule of acid is neutralized by a molecule of alkali or "base". Now a weak base won't completely neutralize a strong acid but if you drink a lot of weakly alkaline water (around 8.5 pH) it's about the same thing as a Tums *and* you get the benefit of water. But it is a LOT cheaper to drink water and chew a Tums plus you get some extra calcium and/or magnesium mineral.

I think you should do an episode, or series, on wastewater treatment. I worked at a pwd pollution control plant. While there, one of my engineering supervisors explained how of all the municipal services (trash, sewage, drinking water), sewage treatment is the most important. The reasons being, trash removal has many ways to be accomplished (air, land sea), drinking water can be gotten from outside the city, but wastewater cannot pile up. If it does, the sewage gets released into rivers, or without toilets, waste accumulates in the streets. Either of which causing disease outbreaks like cholera and typhoid.
