AlEW was not the baking soda, it's a separate thing if I understood it correctly.

Additionally you're complaining that nobody rinses their food for 30 seconds while expecting them to bathe it in high ph water for 45 minutes??

Furthermore they were comparing it not with rinsing and running but rather just soaking it in water for 20 minutes.

And despite all that card stacking water still was 69% removal at its high range, which overlaps significantly with the low range of the chemical baths.

I'll keep rinsing and running, thanks.

Oh you're right looks like AIEW and sodium bicarbonate are different, but they are in the same tree.

Pesticides in cucumber were more easily removed by alkaline solutions, such as AlEW, micron calcium, and sodium bicarbonate solution, compared

Other info:

Among these washing processing methods, 2% sodium bicarbonate solution and ozone water caused 20–40% more loss of the 10 pesticides than tap water.

the order of the removal effects of 10 pesticides in spinach by washing with detergent solution was as follows: ozone water and active oxygen solution > micron calcium solution >AlEW (pH 12.35) and sodium bicarbonate solution > AlEW (pH 10.50) > tap water. These washing methods are two to four times as effective as tap water.

You don't have to "bathe" your produce (which conjures up imagery of scrubbing the whole time), you just let it sit afaik. There is a planning factor, but I can plan ahead and let it soak. Takes no more time.

You're comparing high range of one (water) with low range baking soda (which you call chemical bath), when there are massive ranges? That (along with misleading terms) is bad faith discussion there. So ciao.
