Please suggest relevant communities to share these sorts of nonsense products marketed with unfounded health claims.

#Hydrogen infused water?

I am of course pro #HydrogenEconomy, but this sort of nonsense is just too much.

Packaged in plastic? I can guarantee that any hydrogen that had been "infused" was long gone before it got to the consumer.

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 38 points 8 months ago

So it's also infused with microplastics. They should add that to the marketing so people know what a great deal they're getting.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago

So it’s really hydrocarbon infused.

[-] FireTower@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

That's why they put so much in. It's 1/3 hydrogen.

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

~~Yup.~~ Actually, I think it's some kind of laminated foil. Still, plenty of opportunity for the hydrogen to escape right past the cap or fly away as soon as you open it.

[-] toofpic@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

That's why you open it upside down, dummy!

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 36 points 8 months ago

Here in Germany there is a "sparkling sports water" thing that is apparently infused with oxygen (instead of.in addition to CO2 for sparkle,.idk). Same bullshit. They marketed that as enhancing your power through the O2.... You know? The O2 in your stomach where you luckily cannot breathe.

Dont skip your antioxidants!

Blue has the most antioxygens

Also, if you really wanted the supposed effect, you could always just take a big gulp of air and a then drink some water, the air is still free so far.

[-] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 8 months ago

So is it heavy water?

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 32 points 8 months ago

No. It's regular water with a little bit (1.6 ppm maximum under 1 atmospheric pressure at room temperature) of hydrogen gas dissolved in it.

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

Does that actually do anything or is it just a marketing thing?

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 19 points 8 months ago

There are studies which suggest that there are health benefits to drinking hydrogen infused water, but I'm not reading all that. I doubt that the actual research is good quality or that the findings are actually significant. Furthermore, as someone else replied, it's likely that most of the hydrogen that was infused in the water at the factory has escaped by the time the product reaches the consumer.

This video is pretty good at explaining the bullshit these water companies try to sell people.

Thank you for clearing that up!

[-] Magister@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

My first thought, H2O2

[-] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 3 points 8 months ago

I'm sure there's a quack out there trying to convince people that drinking hydrogen peroxide is good for you.

[-] skulblaka@startrek.website 17 points 8 months ago

Finally, Water 2

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It’s not H~2~O. It’s H~3~O!

[-] bi_tux@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

H3O+ is delicios, trust me bro, it won't dissolve your organs, trust me bro

[-] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 8 months ago

Water + water. Seems legit.

[-] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

H2 is not yet water.

[-] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 8 months ago

H2O2.

[-] dephyre@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Heavy.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide.

Heavy water is 2H2O

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 13 points 8 months ago

Hydrogen Peroxide is perfectly safe to drink.

Because it's H~2~O too.

(Seriously, don't drink Hydrogen Peroxide.)

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

I guess hydrogen is technically an antioxidant, in that hydrogen + oxygen = boom + no more oxygen.

[-] runeko@programming.dev 13 points 8 months ago

Soooo ... acid. Yum.

[-] insomniac_lemon@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

I'm thirsty for tritium water. I'm sure it's not a health thing, but it probably tastes better (more quenching).

And I want them to pay me a dollar in store credit to drink it. I want them to study me for the effects after years (and many many gallons) of having done this, and then I want to get a medal from some nuclear safety commissioner in Japan or something and look stupid when they show a still of my face on the Japanese news programs.

Is that too much to ask? But fine, I'll just drink my well water that probably just has gasoline in it or something like a normal PFA-blooded American. No I know what you're thinking, it's not the same.

[-] kometes@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

More challenging to drink tritium-free water.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

D2O tastes slightly sweet. Does T2O taste even sweeter?

[-] earmuff@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago

So there is the thing in the Bio Hacking community, where they recommend H2 infused water, which should have some benefit on your health. I once saw a water filter station, which was generating H2 in the watertank, so you were drinking H2 infused water. Not sure if there is any science behind it to back this.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

The economic science of getting people to pay for trendy health things that don’t work. Whether it be detoxing, stone eggs for a vagina, or hydrogen infused water. It’s a proven science. (Note: self-aware irony in that statement, no need to point it out)

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

If biohacking has gone from a counter-culture of DIY implants to trendy health gimmicks for profit, that's really upsetting to me.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Trendy health gimmicks for profit have existed far longer than modern bio-hacking. Think radium water or any other snake oil.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !crosspost@lemmy.crimedad.work
