Sang Whang Sings the Benefits of Ionized Alkaline Drinking Water By LouAnn Savage There is a lot of misinformation either spoken or in print about the drinking of alkaline ionized water. This comes in spite of the extensive roads to education that have become available--from the Thursday evening Health & Wellness Teleseminar with Dr. Dave' to the many informative meetings taking place throughout North America and the world in any given week to the many books available to us all on the topic of electrolyzed structured water [ionized alkaline water]. One of the most recent questions put to me was, "Is it unhealthy or dangerous to drink alkaline water over 5.5 pH?"
Reverse aging, discusses pH in relation to ionized water in easy to understand language. He explains pH of ionized water this way. The mineral content in tap water affects the pH of the ionized water. City supplied tap water on average has a pH of 7.7 to 8.4. The pH value range for alkaline water after ionization is 9.5 to 10.4 whereas well water's pH range is 7.3 to 7.9 and after ionization, alkaline water from this source is generally 8.9 to 9.5. Alkaline water made by an ionizer is most similar to true mountain spring water.
He goes on to answer the question, "Could harm come by drinking too much alkaline water with a pH as high as 10?" His answer will surprise some and others not at all. Whang tells us, "No [there is no harm done]." He goes on to say that it takes 32 glasses of ionized alkaline water to simply neutralize the acidic effect of one glass of soda with a pH of 2.5 pH. This vital piece of information can shed more light on the Western lifestyle than any single bit of information. In America, because of diet and lifestyle habits, patterns and excesses, we systematically manufacturer acid in our internal terrain better than most other countries in the world.
