    Reading that Gwyneth Paltrow’s ‘clean beauty’ regime means she starts every day with a refreshing glass of alkaline water + a spritz of lemon. (Which makes the alkaline water no longer alkaline & highlights the magnificent level of BS that people will swallow from celebrities)pic.twitter.com/rfpqtx43vc

        Doesn't lemon juice become alkaline when digested?

        No! And if it did..... why the hell would it matter if the water was alkaline?

        This has been a thing since as long as I can remember. Lemon has an alkaline effect on your body, once metabolised.pic.twitter.com/de7K7Z26gw

        This is a lie. An often repeated lie, but a lie nonetheless. Sorry, there is just no other way of saying it.
