What's the real story behind drinking ionized alkaline water?!
Question:
What's the real story behind drinking ionized alkaline water?
There are web sites selling expensive machines that ionize water and convert the PH to alkaline. Drinking this water is supposed to be healthy and cures all sorts of ailments including arthritis and cancer.
Yet, there are web sites that appear to be scientific that dispels these claims as myth. These web sites claim that there is no such thing as ionized water since basically water is water. What is the real story behind this?
I almost bought a machine until I googled on "alkaline water myth" and found a totally different viewpoint from the ones that sell these machines and almost convinced me.

Go with the scientific view point mate!! Personally I think ionised water machines are a whole load of bunk!! If you need to purify you water either buy yourself a water filter, which can be bought for as cheaply as $30.00AUD. They have 3 litre varieties that use the Brita filters ($10.00 for filter replacement) at most major department stores such as Target, K-Mart or Walmart (USA). Or you could get an upright version of the water filters you see these days in most shops and offices, I think they retail for around $700.00AUD or periodical payments of around $60.00 per month for 12 months - I got one about 2 months ago from a firm called "Awesome Water" in Australia - 1800 789 781 is the toll free number.
Failing all of that simply put 1/2 teaspoon into each glass of water you have and this will purify the water of any chemicals and impurities such as the Chlorine that some Councils put in the local water to "preserve" it ... ha! Baking soda will realkalise the contents of your stomach as well and aid in digestion and elimination....... As far as ionizing water and and that bunk, nooooooooo way is there even a shred of truth in it!! ............................ Go get yourself a little 3 litre jug first and TASTE the difference!! Please don't invest all your hard earned pennies in something that will do nothing more than create less space and more clutter in your home!! ....:0)
