Science<br />
Many claims related to alkaline water are unsubstantiated by<br />
science. Although saliva and urine pH levels change, blood pH<br />
is always very close to the same number, and excess acidity is<br />
mainly expelled by breathing out carbon dioxide. In addition,<br />
regions of the western United States that have alkaline well<br />
water show no difference in average numbers of degenerative<br />
conditions compared to the rest of the country. Some websites<br />
selling alkaline tablets say people should be drinking water with<br />
a pH between 9 and 10, which is about the alkalinity of Milk of<br />
Magnesia. Distilled water can be brought to a pH of around 8.3<br />
by adding baking soda. Any substance with a higher pH than 10<br />
gets into the realm of soap.
