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 could alkaline water really cure cancer or increase your energy? According to the manufacturers of Alkaline Water Ionizers, as they're called, it will make this happen and even more! But can alkaline ionized water actually do what's claimed?
If we're on the subject of biology, I will discuss what would happen if you drank a glass of alkaline ionized water. Your very acidic gastric juices would strip the water of alkalinity. As the water entered your intestines, stomach acid will strip it of alkalinity. Just what happens? It will become alkaline!
So any water you drink becomes alkaline anyway!
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!
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 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 inside the body is supposed to be the true reason for serious diseases like arthritis and cancer and getting rid of free radicals (that 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!
Anti-oxidant that can cure cancer? I don't think so.

About the Author:
I'm not convinced of claims made by the sellers 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 stand up to scrutiny. I also write about all things body pH as you can see from my article on the popularpH balance diet.
