Does it change the pH or ORP of ionized water to mix it with flavor-aids or alcohol?
Yes it does. I’ve tried Kool-Aid, Crystle Lite and other drink mixes, and without fail these kind of chemically-created drink mixes neutralize the benefits [of pH and ORP] of ionized water. They’ll actually make it acidic. I’ve tried mixing ionized water with fresh-squeezed lemon juice, and it turned the ionized water acidic. [However the end result of digesting lemon is an alkaline ash, so lemon juice is okay.] When mixed with tea [just dunking the tea bag into the iionized water [unheated] the result is very little change in pH or ORP. When heating it too, the result is losing all the ORP and the heated tea is also acidic. When I’ve added sugar or Stevia to ionized water, the result is very little change in pH or ORP. With Splenda there is a bit of a reduction of ORP and a neutralization of the pH. When adding a generic sweetner [in a yellow packet like Splenda] it turned the water acidic and lost much of the ORP. When adding alcohol [Scotch] to the ionized water, very little change
