Would that even work? Intuitively (I dont remember anything about chem) I would guess that you could take a portion of a tums to get the same effect as alkaline water, but wouldn’t be able to achieve the opposite. If you drank an enormous amount of alkaline water such that your stomach acid volume is negligible then the ph of the solution would just be the alkaline water ph, right?
Yeah you’re probably right. It’s just another reason this whole alkaline water thing makes no sense, on top of the fact that your body strictly regulates the pH levels of your blood.
