ALKALI SU

Gazetelerde, gene boy boy; "Alkali su" SAHTEKARLIGI yapanlar turedi.

Sakin bu sahtekarlara para kaptirmayin, inanmayin.

As mentioned above, the Kurzweil-Grossman book contains a number of un-truths about "alkaline water", suggesting that neither of them has ever taken a course in chemistry or physiology. Several of their misleading statements are outlined below; anyone questioning my comments on them can check any standard textbook on human physiology.


K&G's misinformation

How can alkaline water with a pH of 9 or 10 be expected to affect the body when the pH of the stomach is 2 or less?

1It is important to remember that hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach only when food is there.

2If acid were present all the time, it would eat a hole in your stomach lining.
My comment:    
1- The stomach always contains some gastric secretion and is always acidic; eating food stimulates the production of more acid.

2- Nonsense; the stomach lining is protected by a mucous film which is continually replenished.

The body keeps blood pH stable by utilizing alkaline buffers to neutralize acidic liquids (such as colas, which have a pH as low as 2.5) and other acidic products and byproducts. But as the blood stream receives these acidic substances, the alkaline buffers get used up. Drinking alkaline water helps reduce the burden on the limited alkaline buffers which are needed for the body s natural detoxification processes. The principal buffer is bicarbonate which is continually generated when glucose, the body's immediate cellular energy source, is metabolized. Acids convert it into carbonic acid which breaks down to CO2 and water and is exhaled by the lungs. This is the main route of elimination of acids from the body, although the kidneys play a secondary role.
In alkalinized or ionized water, it is not actually the water that is ionized — it's the minerals; primarily calcium, potassium and magnesium. Alkaline water has as its main benefit that it assists in the absorption of alkaline minerals. Classifying these mineral ions as "acidic" or "alkaline" is nonsense, and the author has it backwards: these ions all form insoluble carbonates in alkaline solution and would become even less available. Transport of these ions across cell membranes is facilitated by specialized protein assemblies that are largely in
