It’s marketing bs because there is pseudoscience that the cause of cancer and other illnesses is from acids and alkaline water will prevent you from those illnesses even though it’s completely bunk and push by the same people who think essential oils can heal you too
Comment on can I skip the exercise part?

Why tf would drinking alkaline water be good for you? I believe it would be bad for u in the long-term, cos that would make ur body produce more stomach acid since it constantly gets neutralized, or am I wrong here?

It can be handy in the short term. After a few days of greasy festival food my gerd was acting up (it was worth it), so I got some alkaline water to sip on the long drive home, and it helped keep things a little calmer. Long term though there’s no reason for it.

Wouldn’t a Tums be just as effective? And cheaper?

You really have a problem with the alkaline water and not cutting someone’s face and sewing in place of yours?

This one always makes me crazy. Our stomachs work to keep an acidic environment for our protection and digestion.
Hey! Maybe I should sand off the skin on my body to get more vitamin D when I sunbathe!
