Can Acidity In Your Body Be Reversed By Drinking Alkaline, Ionized Water?
All our body fluids have different levels of acidity and alkalinity. This must be so. For example, if your stomach acid was alkaline and not acidic your food would never be digested. On the other hand your blood must be alkaline or you'll die.
Our bodies have excellent mechanisms for maintaining these balances. So, biologically speaking, alkaline water cannot change these measurements.
But can alkaline water really cure cancer or build up your energy? According to the manufacturers of Alkaline Water Ionizers, as they're called, it can achieve this and a lot more! But will alkaline ionized water actually do what's claimed?
Exactly what has happened? Yes, the body turned the water acid and then alkaline again. So any water you drink becomes alkaline in the end!
So don't waste your time and hard earned cash on an alkaline water ionizer in the false belief that it will neutralize acid in your body. It can't!
What is the lesson? Don't waste your hard earned cash on an alkaline water ionizer. It won't neutralize acid in your body. It can't!
An Anti-Oxidant?
Why is it that some believe alkaline water can cure cancer? According to the manufacturers of the ionizing machine it is because the water becomes an anti-oxidant. This means that it takes on surplus electrons that will then remove "free radicals".
Free radical damage within the body is supposed to be the explanation for serious diseases like arthritis and cancer and getting rid of free radicals (which are presumed to be running unchecked within our bodies) will reverse these terrible diseases.
All sounds very plausible, however it doesn't consider that the entire body already has devastatingly powerful natural anti-oxidants that are MILLIONS of times more effective!
A bit of a problem crops up here. Is alkaline ionized water REALLY an anti-oxidant anyway? Well, picture this: What does bleach do? It's oxidizing power strips colour from things like your clothes. It does this because it's an OXIDANT. Now did you know that alkaline water can bleach the colour from iodine? Yes it really can! it will do this because (wait for it... ) it is an OXIDANT!
A cancer curing anti-oxidant? I don't think so.

About the Author:
I'm not convinced of claims made by the manufacturers of the alkaline water machine are backed by credible science. In my article I look at the supposed alkaline health benefits and see whether they can be belived or not. I also write about all things body pH as you can see from my article on the faddishpH balance diet.. Check here for free reprint license: Alkaline Water - Be Wary Of The Claims.
