Kangen Water is a lot of MLM hype with very little facts. These Alkaline Waters contain caustic hydroxides (OH), which are some of the strongest free radicals known. And they are very damaging to the tissues. For example the reason magnesium hydroxide is used as a laxative is because the hydroxide chemically burns the intestinal wall causing a release of fluid in to the intestines and increased peristalsis. Same thing the bile does when you have your gallbladder removed. This chronic burning of the tissues though also leads to an increased risk of intestinal cancer.

Hydroxides will also wipe out the stomach acid. And wiping out the stomach acid with hydroxides is going to lead to a number of other problems from nutritional deficiencies, Candida overgrowth, and increased pathogens passing through the digestive tract.

Here is one of my old posts on the subject. I cover Kangen Water about half way down:

I read under the quackery report that the statement cancer cannot live in an alkaline body is true,neither can any other cells in your body.no foods change the acidity of your body except urine.

I get tired of hearing these myths about Alkalinizing your body...it aint going to happen, your body does this automatically, it's called "homeostasis". your body will alkalinize your blood on it's own, I personally don't believe that your diet changes your alkalinity by much if any at all. because your body is quick to make adjustments to your blood ph.

I do believe that extremely acidic substances are very good at killing bad organisms. and very helpful...

Think about this for a moment, all these people on these forum are so Gung-hoe about alkalinizing their bodies...but what about your intestines...the beneficial bacteria that live in your intestines produce Lactic-Acid, which keeps the ph down in your intestines, because bad bacteria can't live in an acidic environment, they actually flourish in an alkaline environment, so this absolutely makes no sense why you would want to try and alkalinize your body, why...so harmful yeast like candida and bad bacteria can flourish?

just my thoughts..
