SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the efficacy and safety of drinking alkaline ionized water, a practice gaining traction in Korea and Japan but relatively new in the USA and Canada. Participants express skepticism, labeling the concept as "pure nonsense and snake oil," particularly highlighting concerns about the safety of using highly acidic water for daily hygiene. The technology involves a special ionizing chamber that separates water into hydrogen and hydroxyl ions, producing alkaline water for consumption and acidic water for external use.

According to the following article, Korea and Japan are using this technology. It is a new concept in the USA and maybe in Canada.

I would like to hear from people who are using it -- should we drink alkaline ionized water?

sends the water through a special ionizing chamber which separates the water into hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions to form two very distinct types of water - the alkaline water is used for drinking (internal use) and the acidic water can be used for skin and hair care

Pure nonsense and snake oil.

Edit: pH 3 water is a 0.001M solution of strong acid, I would not use such acid to wash my hands on the daily basis.
