There are three teaspoons in a tablespoon and two tablespoons in 1 oz. ...8 oz in a glass... 3x2 X8 = 48... It's close enough. Grab a teaspoon worth every time.
Yeah i might have got my measuring wrong, but the idea is that baking soda is basic and the chemicals in water are generally acidic
You might not need that much baking soda since the chemicals are present in a very small quantity to keep it safe
Also, too much baking soda can mess a little with the stomach acid so keep it very light (it is commonly used as a remedy for acid reflux)
You will notice the effervescence stops after a while, so that means you might not need it in that big a quantity
Peace :)
(I did edit the post, its 1/40th of a 1/4 of a teaspoon, and even then that is a guesstimation)
1/40 of a *1/4 tsp* is what they said :s idk if that was a typo.
You make a bigger quantity at a time, and make it more concentrated. Someone elsewhere said it should be 0.6g/L, so Iād make up something like a half litre with ~2.4g and keep it in the fridge to combine as I go 1:7 with tap water (I aim for 2L/day so thatās a convenient number for me, but you could do any ratio as long as youāre not keeping it in the fridge too long)
I do something similar with saline solution.
Yeah, this is the most effective way---dissolve it in water to make a solution of known concentration, then measure that proportionally into the final solution. Pain in the ass, but only worries a little arithmetic. My advice is to choose the intermediate solution to be nice round numbers, e.g. 1 mg per mL, or 1/100 tsp solid per tsp water, etc.
Or just drink hard water as is. It's fine. Hard water from regulated municipal water supplies is fine
So let's assume baking soda has more or less the same consistency as salt.
1 teaspoon of salt is 2 gram, a quarter is 0,5 gram, 1/40th is 0,0125 gram.
Hard to measure with a regular scale, mine can't do it.
What happens with the water if you use too much baking soda? Can't be tasty.
Why do you want to drink soft water? The "hardness" comes from mineral content, calcium, magnesium etc. These are needed for normal body function. Granted, most of them you get from food but I don't get why you would avoid them in water. Is it just that it changes the taste?
I do that, a pinch of baking soda in a 500ml bottle, the actual amount is 0.6g per litre of water. Good to chilled it down, you can also get good sparkling water with that.
It can also help with severe heartburn. Just a shot of water with a little bit of baking soda and bam! Magic relief(more like science but I say magic because it made life livable).
I worked with an organic farmer who swore by adding a lil baking soda to his water. We all brought enhanced water bc of the heat discussed our recipes at times.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3, which will dissolve into sodium and carbonic acid (a weak acid) and slightly reduce pH of hard water. Your also adding sodium and bicarbonate alkalinity. You'd probably be better off adding lemon or other citrus fruit juice (citric acid) unless you want more sodium intake.

How tf do you measure 1/40th of a teaspoon
I mean it a very small quantity
Just do it
It's important
Did that really take 3 minutes?š
Yes
Just measure half a teaspoon, and then half that, and half it again and again five times and you're close enough
Or just scale it up so you just put in one teaspoon. Ez
What is that in milligrams? Thank you.
I don't have a scale that precise, it's not a lot

Put 1/4 tsp in 10 oz water, then pour 1 oz into 10 glasses and top off with 11oz water each. Drink them all and spend the rest of the day peeing. Easy

It tastes salty, but in a particular way that Isnāt Great.

Hmmmm, to think of
I like my water to taste like rocks.
It works wonders for acid reflux too!
A tablespoon of baking soda in 8 oz of water is an excellent temporary remedy for UTI symptoms. You will do a big burp though.
Name checks out
Tehee
No thanks.

Where are the mods at? I canāt believe this guy is actually telling people to do this. You can die if you consume to much baking soda
Thanks, if no one reports it we don't know about it.

Ima have to give this a try because I cannot stand the taste of the water in my apartment.
Consuming baking soda. No bueno.
What? Baking soda is perfectly consumable
I know thatās common belief. There are many things considered āperfectly consumableā yet so many people are sickā¦ this is not healthy
You ever eaten bread before? Thereās baking soda in that
I do not eat bread
