Most bottled water is purposely made to be acidic because it prevents bacteria growth etc. Last time I tested the water from a bottle it was at 5.0pH level. Why would it be 5.0 pH when water coming out of the ground is 7.0 ph? Think about it. Water that's been made acidic is the same thing as pasturizing almonds, milk etc. It's a step to prevent lawsuits. It's not good for us.
You don't need to spend millions of dollars to alkalize your water. You can pH drops which are pretty inexpensive, or you can even just squeeze some lemon into it and it will make it more alkaline. |
I think you'll find that adding lemon juice to water makes it more acidic not more alkaline. I don't think that bottled waters are pH adjusted to prevent bacterial growth. I routinely test products for bacterial growth and if adjusting the pH to 5 was enough to preserve them I would be both happier and richer.
I think it is great that you are taking the trouble to live consciously and I am sure you will do better for yourself that way than just drifting through life. But I think you need to look again at the science behind what you are working on.
