Why hasn alkaline water been taken up earlier in the West?
Unfortunately the West is still very biased against Asian research. Although Japan translates over 90% of Western scientific papers, the West only translates 10% of Japanese scientific papers. If they had bothered, they would have unearthed an amazing phenomena; there is a million water alkalizers sold in Japan every year through the major manufacturers. They would have also found that alkaline water is used throughout Japan and Korea in hospitals and clinics. They would also have asked Japan for more scientific reports than are currently available. Today South Korea is the world leader, manufacturing over 100,000 alkalizers per month for domestic consumption only. The technology, however, was originally Russian but was taken up by Japan in 1980.
