combining two ingredants?

Just to clarify if I remember my chemistry, the lower the pH the more acidic something is. ACV (acetic acid) will lower the pH of water.

Apple cider vinegar is low on the PH scale. So when drinking it, it is acidic. However once the body processes it, it turns the body alkaline after a while. It doesn't happen over night, but over time, the body's ph is raised. There is actually some research going on right now...doctors are finding out that cancers and tumors do not survive in high alkaline environments. And even some people with cancer are treating themselves with baking soda to raise PH of their bodies. Some have claimed that it has cured them of cancer. Interesting stuff.

I am a huge fan of apple cider vinegar. Both my husband and I take the tablets. He says his heartburn has completely disappeared and I have been monitoring my ph level in my own body and have brought it up from in the mid 6's to the low 7's. I do feel a lot better than I did.

Now, I have very hard water and I personally don't care for the taste myself. LOL So it is possible they don't care for it either....

I would think that ACV would de-mineralize hard water to some degree so that may make hard water more palatable . Remember though that chickens are birds and some research facilities that specialize in rearing endangered birds put green food coloring in the drinking water to mimic the stagnant water the newly hatched birds encounter in nature. The green water is not better for them, they just recognize it better as water.
