water ionizer

A water ionizesis an  that ionizes water . Ionized water is claimed by manufacturers to be extremely beneficial to human health and marketed with claims that it is an anttioxidant which can slow aging and prevent diseaseThese claims have been characterized as pseudoscientific, as they are not supported by scientific research and contradict basic aspects of chemistry and physiology.

A water ionizer separates water into  and acid fractions using a process known as electrolysis It does this by exploiting the electric charge of the calcium  and maqnesium ions  present in nearly all sources of drinking water. When a source of water lacks mineral ions, such asdistilled water , or has been filtered by , water ionization has a negligible effect.

Some research suggests that alkaline reduced water may be useful in scavenging free radicals in the laboratory settingTests on  suggest that reduced water can prevent hydroqen peroxide-induced damage to DNA  RNAand certain However, drinking ionized water would not be expected to alter the bodys PH and there is no evidence of any beneficial effect from drinking reduced water

Electrolyzed water has been used by the food industry to  sanitize food products; though effective in bacterial solutions, it was found less useful when sanitizing utensils, surfaces and food products Acidic electrolyzed water (pH 2.3C2.6) may have use as a seed surface disinfectant or contact bactercide.
