My wife recently brought home a 5 gallon jug of Kangen water and asked me to try it with her. We drank the jug over a period of 4 days. The results were dramatic - both good and bad. The good news is that my acid reflux stopped immediately, and my arthritis seemed to be diminished significantly. The bad news was that I developed a strong headache that lasted off and off for a couple of days. I have to say that I was very impressed with the results.

I have been researching alkaline water online and have read numerous testimonials and "sales pitches", and I have also read all of the negative stuff from the chemists who insist that there is no scientific evidence to support the claims made about the water. In my case, the anecdotal evidence was irrefutable.

I assume that there is no scientific evidence to support the claims of alkaline water because studies take a long time and are expensive. Since the sale of machines is about making money, I can certainly see why companies don't bother with the studies.

Now my question. Does anyone know of any scientific studies done on the benefits of the water. TIA
