Are there health benefits of drinking alkaline water?

    Many people have been giving too much attention to alkaline water stating that it could help with certain conditions such as high blood pressure. However, due to a lack of research on the subject, it is difficult to say if it has any health benefits on the long term. I think that it is safer to drink normal water until more studies are done on the matter.

    Yes.

    It detoxes the heavy metals from your body.

    It’s very good for you.

    No. Drinking or eating certain foods cant raise or lower your bodys natural ph balance. If it could we'd be dead.

    Are there HEALTH benefits of drinking "ALKALINE" water ?

    according to the Mayo clinic : bottled water sold as alkaline water that is SUBJECT to regulation by the FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION might have nutrients ADDED to it achieve a ALKALINE PH

    proponents "CLAIM" it can NEUTRALIZE acid in the blood stream help prevent disease such as cancer and heart disease........ but research is NEEDED to investigate such claim some assert it can SLOW bone loss ... to date no TRIALS backing up such claims ...

    .. some people are mislead to take the position

    that until you prove a CLAIM false one should accept it as true ..

    ( the tactic of a CON and PROFITEER preying on peoples gullibility and lack of Skepticism )

    . rather a claim has no VALIDITY til it is proven true as in consistently demonstrated to be the case ACTUAL

    those making the claim have the burden of proof ..

    . the loop hole in ADVERTISING

    "possibly could " "potential to " " Bob FELT or said it made him feel energized ........ highly subjective not test- ability

    your body controls the acidic and alkaline properties of it self. NOTHING you eat or drink will change that.
