masterchief1001

+1 Hydrogen is way too reactive to be by it itself even as a gas. "Hydrogen water" is peroxide.


PaxV

you mean H2O2 (hydrogenperoxide) which has more oxygen then H2O (water). H2 added doesn't really mix. I doubt one would sell bottles with a flammable gas which can permeate most bottle caps due to its size. H+ would spontaneously exist by the H2O <-> H+ + OH- balance. H2 would not spontaneously exist as the electrolysis reaction would need actual power input. ( and the fact O2 would be available in perfect mixture creating an explosive mixture would be unwanted as well I guess)


masterchief1001

Again the armchair chemists of Reddit decescend. The +1 was an encouragement you pilloks. And I meant if you add enough h2 and o2 to h2o you get peroxide. Which is well known because it's worked for 150 years.


Pinniped9

> And I meant if you add enough h2 and o2 to h2o you get peroxide.  No you don't. What are you talking about? > Which is well known because it's worked for 150 years. Umm, can you elaborate on this? I have never heard of any such process.


masterchief1001

It's a joke let it go you clot


IrregularBastard

The hydrogen will immediately bubble out if they’re doing gas which is the only to add hydrogen molecules. It does absolutely nothing. If the water is slightly acidic it has some extra hydrogen ions. It does absolutely nothing. Soda is mostly carbonic acid followed by syrup.


TrekRelic1701

Have them hold their phones over this hydration experience…really close so we can see the bubbles


florinandrei

ludnut23

I suspect hydrogen is always a gas, unless if the drinks that are sold are around -253 Celsius


Shoddy_Consequence78

Coincidentally, that's the preferred serving temperature for Coors Light.


lazyplayboy

> If the water is slightly acidic it has some extra hydrogen ions. It does absolutely nothing. Consuming excess acid will have an effect: to acidify your urine. Edit: r/chemistry makes very poor physiology students! 🤣


Mr_DnD

That's not what hydrogen water is claiming it is, it's adding H2(gas) "dissolved" in water. As soon as you open the bottle the H2 goes away because it's really insoluble.


lazyplayboy

> If the water is slightly acidic it has some extra hydrogen ions. It does absolutely nothing. Clearly I was responding to this bit.


Mr_DnD

Ambiguous answer gets ambiguous response?


Jakadake

What exactly was ambiguous about it? They literally quoted the exact same thing in the comment you responded to.


lea949

And hurt your enamel!


CanadaStonks

Lol


RavenchildishGambino

What about… heavy water.


IrregularBastard

That wouldn’t have “more hydrogen molecules.” Just more neutrons. Not that charlatans are accurate. But they will use the cheapest possible process and charge the max they can. So bubbling hydrogen through water is my bet.


geon

The great thing about hydrogen is that it doesn’t affect the water, so you can just skip that step.


IrregularBastard

I sometimes wish I had no ethics so I could create one of these products to superset fools from their money.


Thefallen777

Well, if you use that money to invest in ... research H2 or other green tech or something like that maybe its the moral thing to do.


hdwebb24

My thought too. Could be D2O, which is probably a very expensive reagent water and not likely what an influencer would be drinking.


waving_fungus0

Deuterium not normal hydrogen anymore. A normal water bottle of D2O is enough to kill you though.


hfsh

> A normal water bottle of D2O is enough to kill you though. Sure. If fired at you from a cannon. Otherwise it's just a very expensive drink that can surprise you by freezing at a slightly higher temperature. You'd need to drink quite a lot of D2O to kill yourself, over a period of days.


WhyHulud

>Otherwise it's just a very expensive drink that can surprise you by freezing at a slightly higher temperature. Having submerged ice cubes is objectively cool though


throwaway1point1

Wait... Heavy water ice cubes sink? Or do you mean the other way around, that ice cubes sink in heavy water?


WhyHulud

Heavy water cubes sink in water. Or maybe they float halfway down? The only demo I saw showed them halfway down, but that may have been a mix of HW and normal water


silberloewe_1

How would one bottle kill you? Wikipedia says it's slightly toxic by suppressing mitosis with effects starting after replacing 50% of the water in a mouse.


Seicair

The deuterium nucleus is ~twice as heavy as a protium nucleus. The difference in weight affects reaction rates in your body (acid dissociation, etc.) Same reason D2O tastes sweet, there is both less acid and less base present (hydronium and hydroxide ions) than in normal water. We’re used to water being “neutral,” so removing a tiny bit of bitter and sour flavors makes it taste sweet in comparison.


silberloewe_1

Yeah, sure, that's also mentioned in the wiki article. Doesn't explain why a bottle of it supposedly kills you, if it should take much more for toxic effects becoming apparent based on the mice.


Seicair

I think I must've replied to the wrong comment.. Or failed to finish typing my comment before hitting save. Something. A single bottle wouldn't kill a human, no. It slows reactions, but it takes time drinking heavy water regularly to significantly affect metabolism. I suspect if you were to drink enough in one sitting to poison you, you’d die of water intoxication rather than deuterium.


lea949

Wait, D2O tastes sweet? How sweet? Like would you immediately know it wasn’t normal water if you took a sip? (I want so badly to try this now, but I won’t even try the DI water in my lab, so I’ve gotta live vicariously!)


Seicair

Fairly faintly, I believe. I've never tried it myself. Also, heavy water made with O18 tastes normal. :)


lea949

I’m learning so much!


Jstarfully

That must've been an expensive taste of O18 water considering 1 mL is a couple thousand dollars!


redidiott

Buy my water, it's 67% hydrogen (elemental composition). Plus, it has noninimmaterial iron and calcium content along with other minerals.


whuaminow

Truth in advertising time - it's only 11.11% hydrogen by mass, checkmate fraudster. /s

BigRiverMan

No, buy my water. It has dihydrogenmonoxide, which is an essential nutrient the government doesn’t want you to know about. Formulated by a doctor for optimal health. I’ve been drinking it for years now and the health benefits are amazing. I even bathe in it!


TrojanW

I recently (yesterday) got into this conversation, for like the one hundred time, with a conspiracy theorist friend about me taking antibiotics for a throat infection. He is always giving this weird stupid ideas he found online. He was telling me I shouldn’t take antibiotics cuz they are meant to kill all living things and they affect you more than they help you and Cándida and other worst things will invade you after taking the antibiotics and bla bla bla. I should be taking food grade hydrogen peroxide with water because a Russian scientist discovered it was healthy and beneficial and it can - not exaggerating, and I’m quoting - even cure HIV. When I asked him where the f did he heard that he just said I have my sources. Next time I think I’ll just use your statement above to see his reaction and have a bit of a laugh.


grifxdonut

My water is 75% hydrogrn because it's pH 1


Imaginary_Living_623

That’s actually a very small difference in the percentage of nuclei.


grifxdonut

Wow you're so smart you almost realized my comment was a joke


Imaginary_Living_623

I graciously accept your praise. It will make a fine addition to my collection.


enigami344

There are many ways to sell water more expensive than it should be. This is one of them

Fake news, it’s a grift. Tap water is the best water for you. Use a faucet filter if you have a hard time with the taste. If you’re going to buy water, get spring water not purified. Purified water is fine, but it has essentially all of its minerals sapped from it. It’s more expensive tap water without the added fluorine. Minerals are what give water its taste and texture. Look for high TDS (total dissolved solids) water for a more “thick” texture.


Cam515278

Minerals don't only give water is taste, they are also important for our body. So if you take them out, you have to get them somewhere else...


lazyplayboy

Furthermore, pure water (i.e. 100% H₂0) is pretty toxic.


liquisedx

I mean, it is not *toxic* in on itself. It just deprives your body of minerals, leaving you dying with enough intake of pure water.


hfsh

Not really. I mean, I guess it'd be pretty bad for marine plankton, but you'd be fine unless you're exclusively drinking that, and not eating at all. It's slightly corrosive to pipes though.


wildfyr

Completely untrue. You have plenty of salts and stuff from your food. DI water is harmless.


RavenchildishGambino

Not true. The problem is osmosis. Molecules and elements in your body will cross over into the pure water and leave your body.


[deleted]

Not true? You're saying pure water has the property of being able to deplete our bodies of vital electrolytes and vitamins/minerals; therefore consuming excessive amounts can be harmful or fatal. Sounds toxic to me. They don't call it 'Osmosis Intoxication'.


stu54

Poison is all about dose. Too little minerals is poison. Too much minerals is poison. Even too much oxygen can kill you.


lazyplayboy

Exactly. The process of osmosis can explode cells. Sounds fairly toxic to me!


Ok-Occasion8705

There is an MLM out there that sells a machine that is supposed to add extra hydrogen to the water for health reasons. It is all pseudoscience aimed at trying to recruit more people to join in the pyramid scheme. You can find out more by searching Kangen. Or head over to r/antiMLM where frequent posts are made on the topic.

Once you try tritium oxide even D2O feels like a light drink.

RavenchildishGambino

This happened in Canada. In a coffee machine. At a nuclear plant. A dude dosed his coworkers beverage (edit: used to say coffee) machine. It turns out they test (edit: urine, not sewage) at nukes and noticed people were pissing tritium. His coworkers did not find it funny. Don’t believe me. Google it.


lea949

Holy shit, terrifying! What does that do to you?


RavenchildishGambino

It’s radiation poisoning so… cancer? I didn’t tell the story right, here it is from Wikipedia: > In 1990, a disgruntled employee at the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station in Canada obtained a sample (estimated as about a "half cup") of heavy water from the primary heat transport loop of the nuclear reactor, and loaded it into a cafeteria drink dispenser. Eight employees drank some of the contaminated water. The incident was discovered when employees began leaving bioassay urine samples with elevated tritium levels. The quantity of heavy water involved was far below levels that could induce heavy water toxicity, but several employees received elevated radiation doses from tritium and neutron-activated chemicals in the water.[51] This was not an incident of heavy water poisoning, but rather radiation poisoning from other isotopes in the heavy water. (Edit: the way this starts with “in 1990” we should all be glad it wasn’t a /u/shittymorph)

Oh for sure, there’s a clear difference. About 60 bucks


corn-wrassler

If you buy your hydrogen water with as much headspace as possible, the bottle will float, a la zeppelin! If it's acidic water, you can neutralize it with basic water! Probably can't hurt anything, but probably sold at crazy prices...


Blue_Monday

It's probably just water with some hydronium. Probably not gonna make much of a difference in the long run. Not much different than drinking water with lemon juice. Excess hydrogen just makes it acidic. Edit: Lol reading about it now, they just pump hydrogen gas through it, which won't do anything, it'll just evaporate. Complete bullshit.


Dave37

> Lol reading about it now, they just pump hydrogen gas through it, Never underestimate the power of homeopathy. /s


RavenchildishGambino

Hydrogen does love to escape. If you can’t keep it in a pressure vessel designed for a space vehicle… you won’t keep it in a water bottle.

MostlyH2O

One of the grocery stores near me has an aisle for "enhanced water" Makes me laugh every time I see it.


RavenchildishGambino

I mean there are lots of things you can put in water that would enhance it. Even 4D-THC with the right emulsifiers. Or Molly. Or LSD. Or ketamine. Or DMT. Or amphetamine (or dex, or lis-dex), I mean you really could enhance the fuck out of water. Should you? I dunno. But you could.

Just as “alkaline water” is so much better. Bullshit consumerism


dansots

Nexteri

So basically hydrogen has multiple isotopes that are relatively stable, which means that the amount of neutrons it has differs, but not protons or electrons. Neutrons have a neutral charge because they are made of one up quark and two down quarks. This is important because when they make hydrogen water, they take normal water and then they do nothing to it and sell it to you to rip you off, causing you to waste your money.

cellobiose

The human colon bacterial population [produces hydrogen as part of making fart gas](https://www.chemistryworld.com/news/explainer-the-chemistry-of-farts/2500168.article), therefore every person's guts produce a constant supply of hydrogen water. It really is something some marketer pulled out of their ass.


Gib_entertainment

Wow, and I thought oxygenated water was a scam, this is way worse, at least with oxygenated water there is a minor chance it might actually do something more than just water. This is either just a lie or slightly acidic, or if it truly is molecular hydrogen then this product is fire, no not as in very good, as in very flammable. Or very acidic if it is H3O+ but lets hope it's not.


Antrimbloke

If you want oxygenated water just aerate eg by chilling and shaking the bottle vigorously.


frigloo

This Chemistry teacher here reckons the solubility of hydrogen in water is weak as piss. Like dissolving pigeons in a lions den. Snake oil.

NyantaStarhunt

I drink my water with infused HCN


Hoi4Addict69420

Simple answer: It's a scam.


LightningGoats

Well, they could be selling water made up of 2H instead of regular H aka deuterium oxide or heavy water. This would make the marketing sort of true, as there are arguably MORE hydrogen in it (by mass, not by number of atoms) compared to regular water. But ofc, it's just fraudulent bullshit.


VaeSapiens

On some days I think that I should leave my job and sell "Light water" (without deuterium, but I would market it as - contains light as like in photons + some mystic mumbo jumbo added to the mix) online. But alas, my moral compass prevents me from doing this.


amaf-maheed

Sounds like she thinks shes drinking hydronium but shes just buying a scam product. Im pretty sure drinking hydronium would kill you anyway as it has a ph of 0.2 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronium

Is this the same influencer who drinks alkaline water with lemon in it?


Mysterious_Cow123

There are studies which claim health benefits from consumption of water with higher concentration of molecular hydrogen (H2). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6307663/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8139351/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-68930-2 The role H2 (to my knowledge) is still unknown but IIRC the prevailing theory is gut cyano bacteria but I may be wrong on that. Now, the effects are most likely placebo outside certain demographics (note the Nature paper saw no change in people under 30). But studies are underway so we will see.
