Alkaline, Alkalinity, & “Alkalyzed”
It is true that some ionizer manufacturers have remineralization filters that add mineral electrolytes or ions such as sodium (Na+), magnesium (Mg++), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca++), etc.
Free Radicals & Antioxidants: Definitions & Misconceptions
Free Radicals, also known as electrically modified species, are atoms, molecules or ions that have an unpaired valence electron.1Because electrons like to “travel” in pairs or need a companion, if there is only one electron by itself on a chemical species, this will make this chemical entity very reactive and it will readily “steal” an electron from its surrounding environment,2 which often occurs within the body.
Free Radicals: The Positive & Negative Effects On Health
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are biological products of metabolism that exert both positive and negative effects on the body. ROS include free radicals like the hydroxyl radical (OH·), superoxide anion radical (O2–), nitric oxide (NO·), etc.1 as well as other oxidants (e.g. hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), peroxynitrite (ONOO-) singlet oxygen (1O2), etc.).
Hydroxide (OH–): Antioxidant? Radical? Or Neither
There appears to be a lot of confusion about the hydroxide ion, i.e. OH–, (also incorrectly called just “hydroxyl”, which ironically is a free radical or even “hydroxyl water”) within the “ionized water community”. This is because numerous websites, marketers, sales pitches, explanations, etc. claim that hydroxides are antioxidants. 1,2 Recently, however, there are other voices purporting that this hydroxide is not an antioxidant, but the polar opposite: a free radical.3 The reality of all this confusion is that it is neither.
MICROCLUSTERING: The Making Of A Myth (Part 3. What If They Existed? Chemical And Physiological Consequences)
Water's hydrogen bonds dictate its properties. Microclusters or added solutes, like salt, can change boiling and freezing points, which is why salt is used to melt ice on roads.
MICROCLUSTERING: The Making Of A Myth (Part 1 Facts, Claims And History)
Physical chemists are well aware of water’s mysterious nature1 and the many different forms of water clusters2 due to hydrogen bonding.3 Very little about water clusters in bulk phase (i.e. water not at the surface or edges of another material) is understood.4 In fact, it is considered to be one of the unsolved problems in chemistry.5 These clusters have been experimentally detected6-8 or predicted from theoretical computational models in bulk liquid water.
MICROCLUSTERING: The Making Of A Myth (Part 2 The Evidence Is Invalid)
There is no valid scientific evidence for the existence of these microclusters,1,2,3 but the myth continues to be propagated because there are seven main pseudo (false) evidences for it, which are used by companies and marketers to promote their products. What follows is a brief discussion of these pseudo evidences.
MICROCLUSTERING: The Making Of A Myth (Part 4. Potential Negative Health Effects & Conclusions)
Taken literally, a “microcluster” is almost the same size as the cell itself,1 so how could that ever actually get into the cell? Micro is pretty big when we are talking about things about a thousand times smaller.
Common Myths about pH
One of the important parameters of water quality is the pH.1 A pH measurement reveals whether the solution is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. The chemistry of water has been discussed previously, which will help us understand what pH really is.
