Water retains a memory of substances that were previously dissolved in it.

REFUTED

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that water retains a memory of substances that were previously dissolved in it?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources directly address the claim that water retains a memory of previously dissolved substances and reject it: it is described as pseudoscientific, incompatible with physical chemistry, and never reproduced under controlled conditions.
