Dr Andrew Weil (USA) says health claims made by water alkalizer sellers are bogus, is this true?
Our supplier emailed Dr Weil many times about this claim to ask him if he had actually seen any clinical evidence to support his claim. They received no reply. There are practitioners who believe that the body still is able to balance its own pH. Certainly, in times when we ate more alkaline foods, this might have been so. However a study of almost 1,000 Americans by Dr Linda Frassetto of the University of California in 1999 has turned this old idea on its head. She found the opposite; that we are now storing acid in our body fat because we have become incapable of eliminating the increased tide of acid wastes that we are now assailed with. This is an evolutionary change never before seen in our history. We have this report here on our site, available for download – just click here (approx 3.8MB).
