No. That's impossible, isn't it? Since the pH of water is 7 (neutral), and lemons and limes are acidic (lower pH), the introduction of either will lower the water's pH, not raise it. Alkalines, or bases, have a higher pH than water.

No. Citrus fruits such as lemons and limes contain citric acid which give them their characteristic sharp flavor. The make the water slightly acidic...! ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus#Description

it will make your body have to become more alkaline by reverse psychology of sorts... it you consume acid your body produces the opposite to keep balance and vise versa
