How to detox:
Step 1. have a liver
Step 2. Profit
Yeah... Its bogus to think 'upgraded' water can detox
Ever heard of liver damage?
@@johnyang799 i heard. But i dont think we're dunb enough to damage it serverely
@@drsolo7 Well, if careless, these organs are the ones that fail first. Kidney, liver, lung, heart.
@@johnyang799 Im most cases a failing brain is what causes the issues in the first place.
I make sure I only eat alkaline batteries.
xD
Rumour is the acidic ones are heavily contaminated with lead.
Oh yeah me too i can really feel the benefits, I'm in the hospital and my insurance stoped paying :)
I like batteries
Well once it's done. You can't reverse it
I used to work at a health food store (for the pay, not the culture).
I will not forget the day that my entire department decided they were going to start an alkaline diet... and they did it by drinking shots of apple cider vinegar and adding lemons to their water.
They looked at me like a moron when I told them both of those are acidic, not alkaline.
Vinegar is literally dilute acetic acid. Your departments is stupid
@@aqeel6842 Oh I know. I went on to work in brewing sciences, they went on to continue working in health food stores.

Wow i had lung cancer from smoking two packs of ciggarettes per hour for 240 years
But as soon as i started drinking alkalaine water my lungs dissapered compleatly
Now i don't have lung cancer thank you alkalaine water👍
Can confirm! I was an alcoholic on the brink of death (still am an alcoholic but hear me out) and one single drop of alkaline water (about 5ml of water with 17 lemons worth of juice) cured me COMPLETELY! I was so cured that I literally drew my own blood and handed it to my presiding doctor, who then test it and confirmed that I have a blood alcohol level of -104838383% km/h per kilowatt!
This is why I’m still an alcoholic! I could literally drink running alcohol and be completely fine!

But as soon as i started drinking alkaline water my brain dissapered compleatly.
Thank you alkaline water.

"List of alkaline foods: LEMONS"
Ah, yes, the least acidic fruit: citrus.
Yes it has a very low pH meaning it has low acidity
Although lemons are well known for their high citric acid content, lemon juice is actually basic once metabolized.
They also have a higher sugar content than strawberries, but that don't make em sweet.
Lol.
I am not sure about its metabolic products though.
For best alkaline water mix 50% phosphoric acid, 50% water
Boom alkaline water
@@_Hal9000 Ash test on lemons show a PRAL of 4, meaning it's metabolic byproducts are indeed basic.
Saying that acidic lemon water has an "alkalizing effect" because the acid's pH increases is like saying that chewing ice has a heating effect because your body makes the ice warmer.
When I was around nine my mother had a fit about alkaline food for a couple of months. I had to pee on ph paper which she would then inspect, I was scolded every time I ate something that was not alkaline (what foods were alkaline seamed to change from time to time). She would also preach about the benefits of lemons in water and eventually when I had repeatedly pointed out that lemons are acidic her alkaline fad died down. Weird childhood 🙄
Similar experience here with "grounding" and "negative ion" bs
@@timothygooding9544 you poor soul, imagine having to go through the thorium-infested "negative ion" products
This is why kids, don't believe everything your parents say.
God, I feel that. My mom is convinced that cooking vegetables increases the carbohydrates in them and destroys nutrients. There is, of course, some research showing that some nutrients are lost during heat treatment, but that's all offset from the fact that cooking the vegetable makes it easier to digest. She keeps saying that some raw vegetables are "keto". I am absolutely certain she just likes eating salad and is matching hearsay diet advice on facebook to that, which at the end of the day is fine - she's eating vegetables and not doing keto or anything like that - but it's a bit cringe to listen to.
I feel bad for my little sister who’s still in school, as my mom has recently been on a similar craze with ‘Organic supplements’

Hey man, aren't you addicted to air or something ?
I know I'm really late but this water would actually cause harm if it actually did what it claimed. Such as "balancing your body's ph". If alkaline water actually diluted your blood and changed its pH you would die. Your blood's pH is strongly controlled and kept in a range of 7.35 to 7.45 on the pH scale. If it really changes your body's pH you would have to make the ER your new home
Well, shit.
Ima go drink some melted ice cream. Science is hard.
I know I am a couple years late, but I wanted to thank you for specifically pointing out the difference in between Type I and Type II Diabetes, as this is very often overseen or straight up ignored. As a 24 year old type I diabetic, I get asked, if I had eaten too many sweets as a child, way too often. No, I had a cold and after that I had diabetes, it sounds dumb, but it is what it is 🤷🏼♂️
Anyway.. am gonna go on binge-watching your stuff.
Greetings from Germany!
That’s fascinating that it started after a cold. I’ve never heard of that, but it kind of makes sense. It’s like your Immune system went on a rampage and your body hurt itself in its confusion.
Damn, that's stupid that it started after a cold.
What is type 2 diabetes?
@@Sophiebryson510 Type 2 diabetes is a form of diabetes that is typically preventable and begins during adulthood. In Type 2 diabetes, insulin production is decreased and cells are also insulin resistant. It's typically caused by a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors (obesity, exercise, diet, etc.). This is in contrast to Type 1 diabetes, which is an unpreventable autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the cells that make insulin.
"I had a cold and then I got diabetes" hit me like a truck
When ever I hear "detox" or "detoxification" as a selling point for a product, I immediately think it's bunk.
Yep, those 2 words seem to trip a switch in my brain that automatically puts everything following them into the "delete forever" bin!
The only one that "work" are the drinks made to help you pass urine tests. They probably mask it, but it must work judging by some of my past coworkers...
I think vomiting and diarrhoea.
Usually same. Recently I've seen someone selling a sulphate free shampoo (a not bunk product, good especially for bleached hair or dry hair or also better on sensitive skin) and immediately noped out.
A friend got a real detox because of a botox problem :v
Bleach is one of the most alkaline things you can consume
Remember that
Draino too 😀
There are literally people drinking diluted bleach daily for their health, or forcing their autist child to drink it regularly in order to "cure" their autism and claim it is parasites or "toxins" when inside layers of their intestine die and slough off and get excreted. The former is depressing, the latter makes me livid.
@@Call-me-Al oh yeah that's disgusting. What makes it worse is that it must taste really bad and Autistic spectrum people with bad taste sensitivity must not be able to bear it. The loophole for those loons is that they claim that it is not bleach. None of them have a chemistry degree tho.
I mean a couple drops of bleach can help make water safe to drink in the wild but that's about it xD
A HA is autist even a word?
True though. I had a psych professor that was a school psychologist and he spent all day fighting with parents about how they’re little Jimmy needs to be sent back to class and treated like a normal child whether or not he is on the spectrum
I love how 6 years ago Nigel felt like he needed to explain that "alkaline water doesn't cure anything" joke to his audience. But after that, he was very sarcastic for the rest of the video. Love his humour.
🎉die dragons die
I agree
I once bought a berry infusion water bottle that claimed to have alkaline water in it. When I saw that I quickly turned the bottle to see the information in the back. Then I read a paragraph that said: "Do not try to measure the pH with pH stripes. An alkaline water measurement machine must be used instead".
I had to pause the video to stop laughing at an alkaline water with a ph of 4
right????? 😭😂😂
A range of 4-10 means it can make water just as acidic as it could make it basic, lol. Not very precise, is it?
Pure water has a PH of 6 and that is why 6 is considered neutral.
A ph of 4 is acid.
So yes I also got a laugh
@@richlaue 7 is neutral. 6 is slightly acidic. Also distilled water at a ph of 7 can absorb carbon dioxide from the air and turn slightly acidic.
@@jeremyowen1 I was about to say lol
"alkaline food: lemon water"
kemist
lol
“kemist” 😭
lemon juice produces alkaline byproducts once it has been metabolized.
it has a negative PRAL score.
"The PRAL of a particular food is the amount of acid that is expected to reach the kidneys after the body metabolizes that food."
lemon juice is an acidic substance, but it is considered alkalizing.
hope this clears up confusion.
I love how the guy announcing the water says that, like, "this thing is the most alkaline you can find, it's called citric ACID"
For real! Exactly what I thought when I saw that. Lol
For those watching in 2022 like me, there have been some updates on how extracellular acidity from that lactic acid waste prevents our anti-tumor immune cells from doing their job and making tumorous cells undergo cell death. It seems to be a defense mechanism of the T cells to stop themselves from denaturing due to excess acidity, as well as a way to stop these T cells from attacking non-harmful cells. The excess protons from the acid cause a GPCR signaling cascade leading to a ligand binding to these T cells that prevents them from acting. However, tumor-bearing mice given sodium bicarbonate had a decreased expression of this ligand and more neutralization of tumor tissue. That's just one large study from 2020 though.
That's not to say any of these crazy claims Nile shows in the video are right. They're WAY out of left field, far from the science that's actually related to acidity and cancer. But I figured I'd share this tidbit I happened to find for a class project! Fuck pseudoscience.
Source: “Extracellular acidity in tumor tissue upregulates programmed cell death protein 1 expression on tumor cells via proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptors", by Mori et al., 2020.
Ooh neat! Thanks for adding additional context with a cited source!
I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 7 years and I'm very impressed to see someone understand and explain it accurately
Whenever someone says "this food cures cancer!" I ask them what type of cancer

@@imdonkeykonga failure
Alkaline water has actually been a life saver for me. Not because of it has magic healing properties, but because it neutralizes excess acid in the stomach which has massively helped with my heart burn.
Take an antacid. Its the same chemistry, but not retarded.
@@pswanberg1 or I could just drink alkaline water, it's the same chemistry, but I don't have to carry around antacids
@@timchallenge just drink regular water
@@G.A.C_Preserve or I could just drink alkaline water, it's harmless and the exact same price as normal bottled water. Y'all act like alkaline water is poisonous. If I'm going to take bottled water with me to work anyway, it's no more harmful or expensive to just grab the high pH stuff. Get a grip people!
The only major benefit I think is helping neutralize stomach acid, which Americans have tons and tons of issues with. So many people have acid reflux and I think it's the best actual health benefit, if you're one of those people
Yes, odd he doesn't mention this. I had no idea about all this pusedo science I drink it the day before a race because it makes my stomach feel slightly better. I am constantly battling acid reflux, certainly not a complete cure but helps some
"Because it's pH is lower than 7, doesn't mean that the fruit is acidic"
Hmmm, yes... The floor right here is made out of ceiling
Hmmm, but that would be true if you live on a level higher than the first floor
Yes
I posted this somewhere else but just though it was relevant to solve the confusion.
I just think there seems to be a misunderstanding between the terms 'alkaline' and 'alkalizing'. Lemon juice is not alkaline, but when your body breaks it down it creates byproducts that your body absorbs, and those byproducts just so happen to be alkaline.
I also do not think that alkaline water cures diseases. I google searched 'are lemons alkaline' or something and quoted what it said. I will find the original source and link it here.
To those that say something along the lines of 'your stomach produces acid so why doesn't that harm you' it's because your stomachs job is to metabolize food with the acidic digestive fluids. It is designed to be a container for that fluid and to keep it seperate from your body while filtering out and absorbing the byproducts and nutrients. Those nutrients do end up in the body and bloodstream.
I hope this cleared everything up. Wish you all the best.
Edit: Just thought its worth mentioning that a certain food is given a certain score based on how alkaline the byproducts are. As I've mentioned above, this kind of score is called a PRAL score. However, the score a substance gets when you test its inherent alkalinity/acidity (right on the spot, no metabolizing) is called its pH. These are different things.
Also, the main purpose of keeping acidic substances from reaching your kidney is because your body has to borrow alkaline material from elsewhere in the body (i.e bones, teeth for calcium) to neutralize the acidic ones. If this happens enough this can lead to lots of health problems (i.e arthritis, other diseases possibly but I'm not 100% sure on that). This is why people say alkalizing foods can prevent various diseases. (it's not that alkalizing foods cure diseases, it's that not consuming enough alkalizing foods causes them, so the logic is that consuming alkalizing foods can restore the balance and 'cure' the diseases you have that are a direct result of not having enough alkalizing food in your system)
@@meditationman4208 Sources? You're body regulates your pH naturally so your body doesn't give a shit about what pH your food is your body's ph can reach homeostasis on it's own; you're basically full of shit and i imagine the 420 in your name isn't just a joke it's part of your "scientific process." Just eat regularly and let your body worry about taking care of it's pH and don't worry bout helping it out you'll do more damage

This is the best/funniest video on TH-cam!! The fact you did this video without being condescending or laughing blows my mind. So funny just for that reason alone. It's genius cause it's a legit learning experience. you took something ignorant and turned it on its head and made something really informative out of it.
Ironically, if a type 1 diabetic (like myself) stops taking insulin because they think that “alkaline water” will cure them, they will go into to DKA and have acidic blood which can be fatal.
So if you hit that state and keep drinking alkaline water to neutralize it, you'll be cured!
Just inject alkaline water right into your blood regularly to stay alive.
Now you can stop being dependent on your regular insulin injections to stay alive.

You start to question these things when the government lies extensively. For example cannabis and pyslocibin mushrooms.

I don't buy into wild health fads but have read a tiny bit about kidney stones and work in the citrus industry.
Pulled this from pubmed
"Citrus juices are rich sources of citrate. Oral citrate is absorbed in the intestine and nearly completely metabolized to bicarbonate, providing an alkali load"

Anyone else have the “dangerous book for boys” growing up? I swear there was a recipe for lemon soda that was baking soda and lemon juice in water.
Edit: also i love alkaline water simply for the taste and mouth feel but in no way did drinking it stop bladder cancer from popping up
That book also has my favourite paper airplane instructions
Actually there is a reaction between baking soda and citric acid which is well known to enhance muscle fatigue for short periods of time (a few minutes) and its because baking soda and citric acid react to form sodium citrate and CO2, and sodium citrate is what enhances muscle fatigue and aids in spending that last bit of energy in the gym but it’s also dangerous if too much is consumed.
Basically lemon soda isn’t nonsense, also it aids in dental health because it neutralizes the acids that bacteria make between teeth that can damage teeth.
"after hearing that it could take me to the next level, i was interested" oh god... nile becoming next level is a thought that genuinely scares me. he's already chaotic enough...
during thanksgiving, my cousin's mother in law was trying to tell me to drink alkaline water "to help with my heart transplant". I just looked at her, said "stomachs are full of acid. its not gonna even get past that." and went back to eating acidic cranberry sauce.

I think he titled the video like this to deter the people who would probably take this video down for telling the truth.
For a while I was really questioning if this was sarcasm or not
being a type 1 diabetic, i laughed so hard. ah yes i just need to drink some of this water and im all good! if it were that easy i wouldn't have been hospitalized for acidosis due to diabetic issues multiple times now, thats the biggest load of crap ive ever heard 😂😂😂
I mean he did say it was a “program” that cured their diabetes so they probably just had them not eat any sugars. Unless that’s not how it works.
@@danman7486 it's not. You can't just "cure" diabetes. Now that being said type 2 diabetics have been able to "reverse" the affects by diet change and taking massive life changes to make it possible and it doesn't work for everyone. And type 1 isn't curable it's for life as far as I know (and again I have it none of my doctor's have said with changing diet or drinking specialized water would get rid of it) type 1 means your pancreas doesn't produce insulin anymore and as far as I know that's not something that's reversible
@@danman7486 nile also explains that type 1 can't be cured. If you listened to the claims after he gets quite upset about the fact that they are telling type 1 diabetics to have an alkaline diet and stop taking their meds Wich is life threatening.
Remember, your doctors never fed you alkaline water
Worth mentioning that in sufficiently advanced cases of type 2 diabetes, pancreatic beta cells start to "burn out" and die from trying to push out insulin faster to overcome the body's insulin resistance. So, someone who has been type 2 for long enough might eventually produce as little insulin as a type 1 diabetic. This does generally take years, or even decades of poor glucose control, though.
silly betas, keep that beta shit away from me, alpha males only

My philosophy professor mentioned this problem. Some people nowadays are so used to allowing paradoxes and contradictions into their life that they'll start to believe anything even if it goes against common sense. He also talked about how some people like to take a small, relative truth that's nuanced and conditioner and stretch it and claim it to be an absolute truth. Conspiracy theorists, Gwyneth Paltrow, health influencers, they're all people who took a small truth and decided to stretch it without fully understanding it and lead their lives around it.

I'm a Type 1 Diabetic and I enjoy listening to you crack down on these bold statements.

Sad thing is there will be people who would still deny this and say "do your own research ".
do you drink your water with or without the electrons
my parents recently bought a $700 water alkalizer 😔 these companies are taking advantage of fear from the virus
R.I.P the $700
My mother in law sells them for a living.... she is poor and will end up having to live with me. I have alkaline water.
At least it's not something dangerous like other psuedoscience methods. And I gotta say, alkaline water has a pretty refreshing flavour. Still a massive waste of money.
One of my mother's friend made a big fortune out of selling these water alkalizers. Like tens of thousands of USD per month. They claims that soda and acidic food is bad, and alkaline water is good. And the alkalizer also make acidic (ph 2-3) or super alkaline (like ph 9-10) water, which can be used instead of artificial cleaning agents. At least it's what they say.

THANK you!!
I remember learning about this in sophmore human biology class!
but what if your bicarbonate buffer system is not working properly? Did you skip over 9:05 - 11:07?
@@elena6516 Then you should see a doctor, an M.D. who's completed medical school, an evidence-based practice
@@jgurtz yes, my point is that our intrinsic physiological systems fail, hence the need for MDs who have completed evidence-based medical school. In the latter half of the video, Mr. Nile Blue cites evidence-based research regarding cancer thriving in an acidic environment and how our natural, healthy biochemistry can be disrupted as our acid-base balance system works hard to compensate for an overly acidic diet. There are only two claims refuted in this video: that an acidic or alkaline diet directly alters blood pH, and that an alkaline diet is a panacea for all ailments. Keep in mind also that doctors are people, and people make mistakes. Therefore, no doctor is infallible by way of their status.

My Chemistry professor’s response to this fad: “if you pee in the ocean does it raise the pH? Some people will say yes, and let them pay for expensive alkaline water.”
Urine is acidic, so one could say that urine will raise the pH of the ocean, because you're adding more acidic stuff to it. However, because the amount of urine is small compared to the entire ocean, the pH will only change by a fraction of a fraction, if at all.
Another way to think about it is "if you put soda in the ocean, will the ocean turn into soda?" Obviously no, because that's not how it works. Same principle with acid

I LOVE how this sounds exactly as when you're describing your experiments. The tone is perfect.
I think alkaline water might actually be beneficial for teeth and preventing cavities. Since cavities are caused by bacteria that release acids, neutralizing that acid every time you drink water should help prevent cavities.
Personally I drink alkaline water when I have heartburn. It seems to help.
heartburn makes sense, it's similar to how tumbs function. But for teeth, eeeehhhh, maybe, but I doubt it. Drinking water with fluorine and brushing your teeth would help more

No wonder my chemistry career didn't go very far, I didn't realize acids were alkaliZING!
In some cases they are, citrus and citric acid are metabolized to an alkaline form in the body.
So as confusing as it might look to eat acidic fruit and expect it to be alkaline it actually is. This is one thing that's 100% true.
@@atourdeforce The very definition of an acid is a molecule which likes to give away hydrogen. If it no longer has a hydrogen to give away then it is no longer an acid. If something sour becomes a base then it's only because a different molecule received that hydrogen and became an acid.
For a reaction with an organic carboxylic acid (such as citric acid), the formula goes -COOH + B(-) -> -COO- + A(+). In this case, the citric acid turns into citrate and the whole system becomes more acidic.
@@RBuckminsterFuller Yes and that citrate is what has an alkalizing effect on the body. Like what exactly are you trying to say here? Are you trying to tell me I wrong?
@@atourdeforce The citrate does not increase net pH because it was created through the donation of a hydrogen to the system (your body). In order to convert citrate back to citric acid it would need to take that hydrogen back and you would end up with no net change. This does not happen because of the chemical equilibrium.
Regardless, the only thing you need to know is that adding acid to a solution will lower pH, making it ACIDIC. There are no exceptions.
@@RBuckminsterFuller I love the way you think I dont know this.
Except we are not adding acid to a solution we are metabolising it in the human body, also it's not just any acid.
I suggest you go study it a little because I know what I'm talking about, I'm a Doctor of Medicine.

I thought you were just poking fun, but this is an actual quote :o. Gotta make money somehow I suppose
"Alkaline diets and alkaline water cure cancer and AIDS"
Damn, antacid companies should update their marketing strategies then.
In alot of antacids they contain bicarb soda ..like alka seltzer
The only way I could see upping the pH of water is neutralizing some drinking water. Some companies produce their bottles at a pH of ~5.6 (for comparison, stomach acid gets up to ~3.5 max), and it therefore should be added to while still being drinkable.
i absolutely love your slideshows
“The likelihood that a person uses the word ‘toxin’ correlates strongly with how much chemistry the person does *not* know.”

did he really say that?
@@mathyou9 ok he did say it, sorry
Hey, no need to apologize. You asked a valid question, and I answered that question. :-)
The irony in nature is, most of our antibiotics and our statin drugs are based on bacterial or fungal toxins.
Of course, nature does irony well, just look at the platypus, the DNA matches if features in that it has bird, reptile and mammalian genes. Nature punked our scientists!
I can't dispute the quote, but Tyson's superior attitude is nevertheless grating as usual.
damn i hate it when my water gets too acidic and starts to curdle

I mix baking soda and water to cure my heart burn. That's something.
I remember making hibiscus tea once from the raw dried flowers and it came out EXTREMELY acidic, and I thought with my middle school chemistry brain that if I put a little bit of baking soda in, it would cut the acid without affecting the taste too much. THEN it turned BLACK and I was so shaken that I just threw that batch out and made another one.
Now I want NileRed to perform this experiment and see what the black stuff actually is!
hmm interesting
Are you sure it was baking soda and not piranha solution?
Of course you had a middle school chemistry brain, a true chemistry Master would've drank the batch and written down the results

Oh, you're replying to me? Instead of watching dolphin videos, you've decided to talk to me.
Sawbones did a lovely episode on this. They explained that this whole "acidic foods are alkalizing" came from a study that showed the urine of people who consumed more acidic foods was more basic bc the body has to counteract the acidity in order to maintain the extremely specific ph we need to live. I think the original study had something to do with kidney stones, but grifters gonna grift i guess
All I know is that goats are given salmiak when they keep getting kidney stones, which is delightfully adorable
Metabolic acidosis can prevent the formation of kidney stones if you have a tendency of having ones composed of calcium oxalate, which is soluble in acidic urine. But that is really the only benefit of manipulating urine pH, because in the end, our body is a pH controlling masterpiece.
About the "don't drink water, because it makes your kidneys work harder" analogy.
Another, mechanical one, would be something like "don't use brakes in your car because it will wear them", or "always double-clutch because the synchronizers will wear".
That's the point of having them in the first place! You wouldn't add them in if you weren't supposed to use them!
Alkaline water helped my creditscore, now it’s so bad it doesn’t even show! Thanks alkaline water 🙏
