Measurement<br />
A pH designation measures acidity and alkalinity of a substance<br />
on a scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, higher numbers<br />
alkaline and lower ones acidic. Distilled water theoretically has<br />
a pH of 7, although the<br />
number tends to run a bit<br />
lower because the water<br />
picks up carbon dioxide<br />
from air. Human blood has<br />
a normal pH of around 7.4.<br />
The scale determines<br />
hydrogen ion<br />
concentration, and<br />
machines designed to<br />
create alkaline water are<br />
often called ionizers. In<br />
pH, the "p" is for the German word potenz, which means power,<br />
while the "H" represents hydrogen. If you are interested in<br />
discovering the pH of your saliva, you can buy pH strips at<br />
certain pharmacies or order them online.
