Is Alkaline Water Really Better For You

The video discusses the trend of alkaline water, which is claimed to improve health by altering body pH levels. It explores the acid-ash hypothesis, suggesting that a more acidic body leads to health issues. However, scientific studies show minimal impact of diet on blood pH, as the body tightly regulates pH levels. Alkaline water may help with acid reflux by neutralizing stomach acid, but evidence for other health benefits, like cancer and osteoporosis prevention, is lacking. The video concludes that while alkaline water is safe, its health claims are unsubstantiated.
