Alkaline water is useful for people with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) or silent reflux which can cause Globus sensation and hoarsness of the voice. Pepsin can vaporise and lodge in the throat, ears, nose, larynx and either burn and irritate through reacidification (when eating acidic foods/drinks) or endocytosis where it is shuttled into the golgi apparatus of the cells and causes damage. Water with a PH of 9+ can permanently deactivate any pepsin in those areas until the next reflux event. There are good data to support Alkaline water along with a Mediterranean plant based diet. PPI's which will decrease pepsin volume actually increase pepsin concentration 3x due to hyperplasia of the chief cells.

Having COPD (typically cause by smoking) will lead to more retention of carbon dioxide would creates an acidic environment when dissolved in the blood plasma. Chronic kidney disease (most commonly cause by diabetes and high blood pressure) will lead to less production of bicarbonate ion which buffers acid, as this is produced in the kidney.

I think nobody really knows tbh, so we have to figure this stuff out for ourselves. The ancestors model is best imo. Of course it may be impossible to figure exactly what our ancestors actually did, but my best guess is: *not* drinking water all day. They probably had water holes where they drank a lot at but consumed most of their water / hydration through foods. It could be fruit or whatever they were coming across. That’s why I believe bringing a piece of fruit with you and eating it through the day is far superior to water. Bottled water is corporate, so of course it’s been pushed excessively. Idk about ph I think it’s almost a silly topic tbh.

It makes the gut more acidic. The thing is, it really helps with moving everything forward in the entire digestive system. I didn't expect such great results in that level.

I love your show, but I'm going to have to push back a bit on this one. The reason is that you didn't bring up any actual studies where people drank actual high pH water and no changes were observed in their actual blood. So, in lieu of such evidence, what I hear when I hear you say this isn't how pH works in the body, is that you have a certain model of how pH works in the body and according to that model high pH water should not be able to change the pH of various systems in the body. However, even if you have some reason to be confident in that model, in order to be truly scientific about it you really have to test it under conditions where people are drinking high pH water. Because if that hasn't been tested, then you're just making assumptions based on a model that was validated under conditions that are unrelated to the condition being speculated about. Additionally, my understanding is that this water is actually widely used in hospitals in Japan, and presumably the Japanese are not taken in by pseudoscience enough to implement this type of water in their hospital systems, so they must have had some form of evidence for it. Lastly, part of the logic behind alkalized water particularly with the kangen machine is that it actually contains more oxygen, that's actually how the process of alkalization happens, so you would also need to demonstrate that people aren't receiving the benefits of additional oxygen being added into the system via this water, if you indeed think that that is the case.

Yes, but there's also a lot more in tap water than just H2O. PCBs, glyphosate, and other containments are common in tap water. The FDA sets limits for these but it's not well regulated. Tap water also contains chlorine to prevent bacteria growth, which is also not good for you. The best way to get cheap water is to buy an reverse osmosis filtration system, but the decent ones that actually work can also run in the thousands of dollars. TJ's has good Alkaline water that is put through reverse osmosis, but it's not cheap. But in the end, what you put into your body today will have an impact your health care costs down the road.
