Reviews show minimal, non definitive effects from alkaline water on body pH hydration or bone health. Small studies funded by producers report minor shifts in blood and urine pH or reduced urine output but within normal ranges and self reported intake limits conclusions. No evidence for cancer prevention or longevity in humans. animal data and lab tests do not translate to real health benefits. FDA has denied bone health claims due to insufficient evidence.

Drawbacks of ionized and enhanced waters
The article warns that alkaline water is not necessarily beneficial and can have drawbacks. Ionized or enhanced water may lack minerals after processes like distillation or reverse osmosis, potentially reducing nutrition. The World Health Organization cautions against regular consumption of low mineral water as it may affect digestion and cause mineral loss. Naturally alkaline or spring water with minerals is preferred.
