What kind of water do you drink? Now most of you are probably like... water? Some of you, though, likely subscribe to the alkaline water life. I've always wondered about the benefits of enhanced water. Does it really help or are you just paying more for some fancy science words? Today, we are going to do a deep dive into the world of alkaline water and see if it really is revolutionary or just a big LIE!

    okay, as someone who's been studying oxidative stress for the last 4 years for my PhD, I gotta say that was a pretty hilariously awesome short breakdown of what oxidative stress is hahaha

    Fun fact. the water coming out of my tap is yellow, for about 10 seconds. sometimes brown, if I go a week without using the faucet. I inquired to my city health department and they said it's probably just rust from old pipes, and since my apartment is very old and owned by a state entity, it doesn't have to be fixed. Just let the faucet run for 60 seconds before drinking from it, and it will be fine. THAT'S why I drink bottled water at the moment.
  • I have had trouble trusting bottled water when I realized that Evian was naive spelled backwards.

    Matpat: "Can we trust our water?" Flint Michigan: "first time?"

    It’s so strange how this flew over my mind, i have preferably been drinking alkaline water ever since my body felt ever so slightly better while having heartburn and an inflamed stomach (I have GERD with omeprazole medication ).Thanks for the video MatPat!

    Matpat: the FDA recommends watching 3 food theories a day. Also MatPat: EAT YOUR CLOTHES AND CHRISTMAS TREEEE

    you should do an episode on the best gum brand and judge them off how long the flavor lasts, how much gum you get per stick after chewing for a minute, and price, you could do some other tests to see if it really does help your teeth or if it really makes your breath smell better idk
  • @nukucat1882
    So one theory I would love to see is chicken soup really good for when your sick? What about other countries and cultures traditional soups for when your sick is one the best? Or are they all just old wives tales that dont do much if anything at all?
  • @TydyeAdventures
    I would love to see an episode on testing the PH levels of water and putting water brands to the test!
  • @rkbkirin5975
    "Instead of that putrid spigot juice that I've been choking down" Okay, that line really made me laugh. Great writing :)
  • @coolnerdlll6053
    "Can you trust water?" We need it to survive, so I hope we can.
  • @mfaizsyahmi
    Alkaline water: "I am the cure to everything!" Your stomach acid: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."
  • @akquline5127
    As someone's who's name is literally Alkquline- this was absolutely hilarious. All i can i say is my only powers are drawing.
  • MatPat teaches me more in a 15 minute video than my science teacher in 2 weeks 😂
  • @dummydummy1493
    Me to 70% of my being: “I can’t trust you.” *MUMMIFIES*
  • @kairallison
    okay but the real question that needs a final answer: is 3 big meals a day or multiple small meals and snacks throughout the day better for your overall health and well being?
  • Yknow as someone with GERD I was not at all expecting it to be brought up during this video and was throughly surprised, most people just talk about heartburn and it's association with getting older (I'm 18 so no one really gets my constant issues with heartburn and acid reflux) and it was just really nice to here it mentioned. Also yeah, the name is very funny and makes me laugh too despite being in pain because of it

    Just did a science fair project about it pH will increase the melting time of an ice cube placed in liquids with differing pH this was helpful! I was so confused why the higher pH made the ice melt slower, turns out the higher ions In the Ph would force the ice cubes out of the water giving it a lower surface area.
