Is this alkaline horseshit a conflation of artificial vs basic ingredients? Because gently caress you. This makes me surprisingly irate.

I read into the acid / alkaline foods thing a little one time and the "logic" is that it's not whether the food is acidic or alkaline, but the solution of the ash that's left over if you burn it. Because your body consumes the energy and then has to deal with whatever's leftover. I'm not saying it's not horseshit of the first order (because it is) but it's not quite as stupefyingly inane as it appears.

Spring water and seawater are neutral, but distilled water is slightly acidic. If you 'burn' spring water or seawater there may be some mineral residue, but if you 'burn' distilled water there shouldn't be anything at all left. Obviously at some point they stopped testing ash and just generalized their results based on their feelings about certain foods.

Like, we don't literally burn food for energy, we move around a bunch of molecules and turn organic material into ATP, so the solution of the ash is completely meaningless.

The crab is alkaline until you cook it, at which point the 100% MAN MADE heat turns it acidic.

Ein cooler Typ posted:that's what burning is Truth. You know this to be true from the fact that all organisms poo poo straight up dust and ashes. Plants on the other hand do not burn things with oxygen but instead make oxygen from ashes, and this is why they do not poo poo ashes, in fact they do not poo poo at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dead serious. #deathhax #! Btw that latter hash tag is frequently used by programmers. It is called a hash bang. That's how serious it is. It is used when they really want to tell the computer what to do. Some times they even say #!bash and that's when you know it's serious business, because it means they will bash tge computer on its head if it does it wrong (eg the FPU) and that's why the computer sometimes crashes (cshrc).

Like, we don't literally burn food for energy, we move around a bunch of molecules and turn organic material into ATP, so the solution of the ash is completely meaningless. We don’t turn organic material to ATP. I mean, atoms in ATP came from food at one point, but “banana is transformed to ATP” isn’t an accurate picture. Organic material just provides the energy to make ATP. The constituents of ATP were already floating around in our bodies. It’s like how coal isn’t turned to electrons in a power plant. The electrons were already in the wires, the coal (via the machinery) just gave them the energy to get moving. The coal, meanwhile, is turned to carbon dioxide and, you guess it: ash. Ein cooler Typ posted:that's what burning is That too. The chemical processes of you obtaining energy from food are essentially the same as the processes as burning food, just in a controlled manner. They’re so similar that burning foodstuffs and measuring how much heat is produced is how we come up with the Calorie/kilojoule figure for nutritional information. The ash pH thing is still bullshit, though. Your body doesn’t just dump ash into your bloodstream, and besides, your body has ways of controlling the pH of its various fluids.

Oh yeah, like how socks melt when you put them in the dryer. We've all experienced that. I don't know why you'd even need the warning. In fact, I don't know why coloured socks are even sold at all! It's weird how that doesn't happen to other clothes though.

"Who couldn't use a little more magic in their life -- especially when their baby is suffering with an ear ache?" You're... you're right, Dr. Clum. Knowing the proven science behind my child's treatment would only fill me with existential dread. I will leave little Dylan's fate to the Winds of Change. Fly free on the Winds, Dylan!

She and the candlers were ooing and ahhing at the wax curling out of the cone, even though I told them that I wasn't feeling any different at all (and later Googling proved that it was just the candle wax). The woman shoving the cone in my ear also came very close to hitting my eardrum on the second session. After researching it, I'm very lucky I didn't get set on fire.
