Sorry but that 1996 article by Thiel is more of a marketing scheme...

He say we should not use Baking soda but use a complete buffer.

Also his math are completly wrong..

Knowing that the EC50 (half of maximum effective effect) of Vitamin C is 140ppm in bateria and 360ppm in Daphnia, I think the 30 ppm isn't even strong enought.

Also, the LC50 in fish is > 1,000 - < 2,200 mg/l for 96hours (50% of the fish died at that dosage).
