Are there benefits to drinking alkaline water over regular water? 

That's why it's not good for a healthy person to drink alkaline water because what you said it going to raise the stomach ph. and that's not good the human stomach needs to be between 1-3 so you can digest proteins. And if you are eating a human appropriate diet Meat-based you want low stomach acid to utilize all of the protein alkaline water denatures pepsin, not good.

my mom drink this all the time and she's suffering from GERD...?

Cool, probably more a placebo then an actual treatment as your stomach acid turns it from alkaline to acid. However, I'm glad it helps. It is basic, so if your local water is higher in pH and you have GERD, it could help.

Yes it does for me as well

​@@harrietmclennon9400for me too.

This is objectively false in every sense.

She is right I've been drinking alkaline machine produce water for years then I notice I always burping and got GERD

I've suffered greatly due to drinking such water, constipated most of my life, ageing skin and mental imbalances. Hope that clears it

Facts😊

Agreed

Placebo. There is no study showing a difference in the general population.

Agreed

i drink essentia

She is objectively true, Alkaline water has very little evidence supporting it, the strongest evidence it has for a benefit is with people who suffer from GERD or renal disease, it has some benefit in some populations of people under those two diagnoses. It doesn't contain additional antioxidants, it does not modify your pH level at all really, it doesn't contain more minerals and nutrients than tap water.

False.

It can very ever-so-slightly modify the pH of your urine or saliva, which has some very small health benefits in a very small portion of the population. Overall, when compared to tap water, the benefits are not outweighed by the drawbacks.

@@cypherphoenix2665 I'm not referring to drinking alkaline water. By the way you are wrong. I know from experience, having gone from acidic to a high ph in a matter of weeks.

​@@deva190 I'm a NP that specializes in nephrology. Your body is in a very tight range, 7.34-7.45 pH (for blood), 7.25-7.61 for everything else, and this range remains constant for your entire life. If you even slightly go outside that range, you would die. "acidic to a high ph in a matter of weeks" This is completely false. It's extremely difficult to modify your bodies pH level, and again, it's so tightly controlled in that small 7.2-7.6 range, that even slightly going outside of it can lead to coma, death, multi-organ failure. Furthermore, basic chemistry tells us that when an alkaline solution hits a highly acid solution such as our stomach acid, it ceases it's level of alkaline. Alkaline water ceases to be alkaline as soon as it touches your stomach acid. You may be 7.55 now where a few weeks ago you were 7.43. That is a difference you've achieved. You really do not want your body to exit that tight range. Proteins deteriorate at pH < 7.15, respiratory cells die at pH > 7.64. I've had patients who've been outside that range, some only by .07, and they are in a coma.

It's true. If your goal is to go through a hard chromosomal reset, the types of foods really matter. Root vegetables, and typically topical fruits grown in volcanic soil will translate into alkaline water laden fruits. I'm not sure what actual pH is on vegetables, but I am guessing mostly alkaline. Anyway, Peace!

So is tap water, which is far cheaper.

​@cypherphoenix2665 is that electrolytes in tap water or sediment?

​@cypherphoenix2665 You trust your tap water? Saving a buck could cost you your life.

Then keep drinking it; however, it doesn't resolve your thirst any better then tap water. It's one thing to drink it because it tastes better, it's another to promote it as objectively healthier.

IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER, I WOULD THINK THESE DRS AND THE GOVERNMENTS WANTS YOU TO BE SICK.

Prove she's off.

​@@cypherphoenix2665 She just did.

@@______________0o0 how?

@@cypherphoenix2665 When?

@@______________0o0 I'm just going to ignore you. You're clearly trolling or trying to stir up something.

How?

No, it absolutely doesn't. Alkaline water stops being alkaline as soon as you drink it.

​@@cypherphoenix2665 How? Simple chemistry taught us that alkaline mixing with acid can neutralise it or lower the acidity. The doctor is wrong.

@@obinnabede6718 Simple chemistry also taught us that pouring a alkaline solution into an acid with a pH of 2 will do virtually nothing. It may lower it by .1, there are other medications which can lower it better and for much longer. Alkaline water is the least effective way to lower your. A pH of 2 is too strong to maintain the alkaline water as perfectly alkaline stomach acid is just too low of a pH. Alkaline water decreases in pH when hitting an acid, all bases do this, it the low pH lowers alkaline solutions much better than alkaline solution lowering low pH solution. Would it help with heartburn? Temporarily. Is there better and more long lasting alternatives that can actually increase your pH better? Yes. Also, the only pH alkaline water effects is the stomach acid. It doesn't effect your blood or saliva or urine pH. Which is good, you don't want to effect your blood pH. It liked to live in it's very small range. Average alkaline water is 8.4, average stomach acid is 1.7. You also have to consider there is more than just the stomach acid that's neutralizing the alkaline water, your saliva also does effects it. Another thing, the entire 16oz bottle of water doesn't hit your stomach all at the same time.

@@obinnabede6718 There is higher pH alkaline water that has a slightly more significant effect, but it's still not much as good as an Alka Seltzer added to tap water. And again, this only effects stomach acid, it doesn't effect the pH of your saliva, urine, or blood.

Bros trying to promote lies and scam people 💀

Not necessary

#GETLOSTSHITTER😂

High acidity water can be an issue; however, alkaline water, when it hits your high acidity stomach acid, ceases to be alkaline.
