I just purchased a top of the line water ionizer.Is it safe to drink water beyond a 9.5 PH level?
detoxifynow@verizon.net asked:
I CAN ADJUST THE LEVEL OF PH ON MY WATER IONIZER. IS IT ACTUALLY SAFE OR DANGEREOUS TO DRINK WATER HIGHER THAN 9.5 PH LEVEL OR EVEN A 10.0 PH LEVEL?
No.. Please don’t. Normal water, just water that normally comes out of your tap is on a ph scale of a dead neutral 7.
The Ph scale runs from 0 to 14. 01 is strong acid, battery acid for instence and 14 is a strong base. liquid drain cleaner, bleach is at a 13. Your 9.5/10 water is as basic(as in a base) as baking soda and orslat water from a great lake or milk of magnesia…
Water should stay at or near a neutral 7.0. Anything higher or lower than a point off can seriously throw off your body’s chemistry.
water should have a pH of 7, this has been my experience after years of chemistry classes. but i also heard that alkaline water is indeed good for your body.
i do not belive it is dangerous, nor am i sure what levels are OK, but if your ionizer has such a high setting then im sure it is safe to use otherwise it would not be an option.
check out the article below b/c i also heard that all this alkaline water stuff is bull crap b/c whether u eat lots of lemons(acidic)or drink lots of vinegar (alkaline)your body’s pH will remain the same, the only thing that will effect your body’s pH are other chemical changes in your body usually caused by disease.
good luck, and return that thing, save your $$.
It’s probably not the best thing for you as this can mess up your body chemistry if you’re not used to this. Nothing really horribly serious will happen though because your fluids are buffers. A buffer is a solution which doesn’t drastically change pH if an acid or base is added. For example, your blood is a buffer solution. On a daily basis you eat all sorts of acidic or basic things, but your insides need to be kept at a consistent pH. Because buffer solutions don’t change pH very much, your body can stay at a constant pH, and your organs won’t fail. I also think I heard that many cities have water with a pH of 9.
