The Lowdown on Low-Acid
Let’s bust out a little science.
Acid levels are measured in “pH”. (That’s officially, “Potential
Hydrogen” if you want to impress your chemistry friends.) pH is measured on a scale of 0 to 14 and broken into two teams. Any solution with a pHfrom 0 to 7 is on team “Acidic” Any solution with a pH from 7-14 gets to be on team “Basic” For reference, water lands right in the middle
with a score of 7 And here’s where pH scoring adds another wrinkle. Each
whole point change is ten times the score of the previous point. In
other words, a pH of 6 is ten times more acidic than water’s score of 7.
