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.
Keeping the above in mind it would be interesting to see just what happens when you drink a glass of alkaline water. First it would enter your stomach where the stomach juices would strip it of it's alkalinity. From there it would pass into the large intestine where it would again get alkalized.
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 any water you drink eventually becomes alkaline anyway!
Anti-Oxidant?
How is it that some people believe alkaline water can cure cancer? This is because the manufacturers of these devices claim that the water becomes anti-oxidant. This means it can remove "free radicals".
Why is it that some believe alkaline water can cure cancer? According to the manufacturers of the ionizing machine this is due to the water becomes an anti-oxidant. Because of this it's going to take on surplus electrons which can then remove "free radicals".
You could almost believe it, except for the fact that the body already has a system in place to continually rid you of free radicals. Not only that, but it's millions of times more effective too!
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!
Well consider this: What does bleach do?It's oxidizing power strips colour from things such as your clothes. It does this since it is an OXIDANT. Now did you know that alkaline water can bleach the colour from iodine? Yes it really can! it'll accomplish this because (wait for it... ) it is an OXIDANT!
A cancer curing anti-oxidant? I don't think so.

About the Author:
I don't believe the claims made by the manufacturers of the alkaline water machine are backed by 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 popularpH balance diet.
