Though all soft drinks are acidic, dark ones like Coke and Pepsi are the most acidic and it has been found that it takes 32 glasses of high PH alkaline water to neutralize a glass of cola. So acidic are some of these drinks that they can be and are often used to clean corrosion of car battery terminals, and can even be used to clean toilet bowls.

The 'Desert' sweeps up to the walls of Baghdad, but it is a misnomer to call the vast level of rich, stoneless, alluvial soil a desert. It is a dead flat of uninhabited earth; orange colocynth balls, a little wormwood, and some alkaline plants which camels eat, being its chief products. After the inundations, reedy grass grows in the hollows.

I have a glass of alkaline water first thing. I don't have the biggest appetite in the morning, which is kind of tough for me, but I always start with a green drink called Tonic Alchemy. It's a really amazing combination drink that has a lot of different superfoods and algae and Chinese herbs.

Diseases happen in acidic environments, so it's very important to keep your body alkaline. Keeping a diet high in leafy greens, spring water, fresh air, raw almonds, lemons, grapefruits, and warm water with juice from half a lemon helps lower acidity levels.

Not all water is great for you. I drink a lot of water during the day, but I stay away from certain waters because their pH levels are low. Stick to alkaline waters with a higher pH. Trust me.

Kate Hudson

I live by a rulebook of eating alkaline - no meat, no dairy, no gluten, I try to stay away from sugar - but I'll cheat when I want to since I'm a bit of a foodie.

Alkaline implies a substance has properties opposite of acids and will not react similarly.

Non-Acidic Nature

Not all cleaning products are alkaline; some may be acidic or neutral, so always check labels.

Common Misconception

Alkalinity indicates a pH above 7; water at exactly pH 7 is neutral.

Beyond Neutral

Although some alkaline substances support health, others can be harmful; usage matters.

Not Always Beneficial

In nature, certain environments like soils can be alkaline affecting plant growth differently than acidic soils.

Environmental Context

Some elements produce alkaline reactions when they interact with water.

Alkali Producers

Alkaline earth metals are in the second column of the periodic table and include elements like magnesium.
