Reminds me when I saw “Gluten free” on plain raw bacon packages.

At that point idk how you could actually eat anything from a grocery store since everything there is likely processed in a facility that handles wheat. In fact, i would say meat products and farm to table produce are probably the only items at a grocery store that haven’t come into contact with some sort of allergen.

I have to assume it’s just made sparkling with hydrogen instead of carbon dioxide. Heard about beer being hydrogenated in Japan several years ago and it had the side effect/party trick of being able to ignite your burps so you could belch fireballs.
Dissolved hydrogen is effectively acidifying it, no? That would be chugging fizzing acid. Must’ve been fun.
You get carbonic acid when carbonating water and some people like that taste, for some reason 🤷♂️
It’s crazy tho how I was thinking similarly after posting the previous comment. If cabonated water gets the bitterness from carbonic acid, what would hydrogenated or nitrogenated water taste like? I’ve had Guiness and Pepsi Nitro. Both are made bubbly with nitrogen. And while the beer is good, the Pepsi just tasted like normal Pepsi, but like you had left it unsealed overnight.
Never had anything that was artificially hydrogenated, though. 🤔
Carbonic acid is a weak acid, so the acidity isn’t as strong. Most the protons are bound in carbonic acid. Whereas in dissolved hydrogen, all the hydrogen molecules are necessarily ionized, giving what should be an acid quite some orders stronger.
Most soda has a pH of like 3, so probably can’t be muchh worse.
Turns out solubility of hydrogen is quite low (to be expected) so it’s unlikely enough hydrogen would dissolve to burn a hole in a tongue. You’d really have to want to do it, in which case there are easier ways to do so than pressurised supercritical hydrogen.
No, hydrogen (gas) doesn’t spontaneously dissociate into H+ when dissolved in water because it’s covalently bonded; it remains H2, just like nitrogen remains N2 when dissolved in water. Acidity is a measure of the concentration* of H+, so dissolving H2 doesn’t impact the acidity.
*actually the activity
Thanks, I never understood - what’s the practical difference between pH and activity?
pH is the negative of the (base 10) logarithm of the activity of H+: pH = -log10(aH+)
If you mean “what’s the difference between concentration and activity,” activity is the “effective concentration” of a species. For ideal solutions, activity is equal to concentration. For real solutions, interactions between the components in the solution may cause a species to “act” like it is more or less concentrated.
Dilute solutions at standard conditions are close to ideal: activity is about equal to concentration. But consider a concentrated solution of a salt: the activity will tend to be lower than the concentration because the cations and anions are not completely independent as in an ideal solution, but tend to “shield” each other due to electrostatic forces.
How do we then calculate the activity of concentrated or non-ideal systems?
But is it vegan?
Only if it is filtred it’s supposely vegan, but watch your glass if there are a lot of flies.
I assume they mean H2. Y’all laugh but H2 and H2O are different things. You can have both.
Do I want both ?
I don’t know…
No, it’s a stupid gimmick to trick people that are easily impressed by marketing
This is the kind of bullshit they come up with when you don’t allow them to put the good stuff in it.
Radium, that was the real thing, not this shit.
So… h3O?
MFers went ahead and invented acids
Still better than oxygen-infused water
Why on earth drinking hydrogen-infused water increase athletic performance? I honestly doubt any claims made by this shit product.
Edit: I am no chemistry expert, but wouldn’t most hydrogen just collect above the water surface and as soon the can is opened, it escapes. I don’t know if it happens or not, if I am wrong please correct me.
Hydrogen is lighter than air, so it’s like, instant weight loss! Wait until they have hydrogen infused red bull…
Relieving dehydration does increase athletic performance, however
Now, sure, this might not have any difference compared to plain old water, but the marketing never claimed that!
And yes this sort of shitty trickery is exactly what they’re doing
I also thought this was a scam like “energized water” and similar, but then found that there are actually medical studies being done on it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10816294/ But that review paper also says, that larger sample sizes are needed and the mechanisms aren’t explained, so it may turn out useless after all.
there are two kind of food products, natural and quimical pimped cheap crap to create more incommings to the industry, the best in last type are the US, because of this the first world country with the lowest life span.
Are you not drinking H3O?
