Can alkaline water really cure cancer or build up your power? According to the manufacturers of Alkaline Water Ionizers, as they're called, it will make this happen and much more! But will alkaline ionized water actually do what's claimed?
Every one of your body fluids have different pH readings. Some are alkaline others acidic. One example is gastric acid. It needs to have a low pH (Acidic) or your food would not be digested. your blood is required to be slightly alkaline or you'll die.
Your body has wonderful systems to maintain these balances. So biologically speaking, the measurements cannot be changed by drinking alkaline water
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?
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!
Anti-Oxidant?
Anti-Oxidant Properties?
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".
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 which 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 sellers of the alkaline water machine are backed by science. In my article I examine 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 faddishpH balance diet.
