Have You Made The Mistake Of Drinking High Alkaline Water?

Just ignore recent reports you have heard about the health benefits of drinking high alkaline water, because the claims about water ionizing devices simply aren't true.  The manufacturers of these devices claim that their products can do many wonderful things for you, but none of what they say can actually be backed up by science.  I will give you a few examples of this that may open your eyes had you thought about buying one of these devices.

For one thing, it is said that alkaline water is an antioxidant, but the opposite has been proven true.  Alkaline water is actually an oxidizing agent, as has been seen by its ability do decolorize iodine.  Alkaline water will also not neutralize acidic foods as is claimed, but will be neutralized itself upon entering your body.  This water never has a chance to do anything for you, because the alkalinity of the water is quickly removed by the gastric fluid in the stomach.

The greatest claim to fame when it comes to water ionizing devices is their reported ability to make the person drinking high alkaline water virtually impervious to cancer.  Scientific studies are frequently cited as evidence that cancer cells simply cannot live in an environment where alkalinity is high.

 The fact these same studies concluded that none of our cells can survive in a high alkaline environment is never mentioned.

The entire premise behind these devices is false.  It is physically impossible for you to manipulate your blood or body pH levels.  The term body pH level is meaningless, because there is no one set level for every part of the body.  The fact is that even the pH levels of individual cells in the body can have widely varying pH levels, and the body is designed to prevent these pH levels from significantly changing.

Even if you could manipulate the body's pH levels by drinking high alkaline water you wouldn't get very far doing it. 

Because of the danger posed by high pH levels in the body we are designed to combat anything that threatens to significantly raise (or lower) pH levels.  The body is designed to function at a level of roughly 7.5, and will not allow pH levels to stray very far in either direction beyond this point.

Water ionizing devices don't even get to the heart of the matter of what related to water is making us sick.  Aside from not being able to raise pH levels to the point where cancer cells (nor we) can survive, these devises make no attempt to remove the carcinogens in the water that threaten to give us cancer in the first place.  No effective device for preventing cancer can ignore the transmission of carcinogens that cause the disease.

Instead of wasting your time drinking high alkaline water you should install a tap water purifier in your home. 

The right device can remove up to 99.99% of the harmful carcinogens present in your water, and also remove a slew of toxins, heavy metals, and disinfectant parasites that threaten your health as well. 

This type of device is what you really need in order to guarantee better health.
