Question about water Ionizer

[San2006]

I dont own one of these (WI) but was wondering anyone out here knows anything about them.

A WI is basically a electrical device, which uses the concept of Electrolysis of water. The Anode and Cathode are separated by a porous membrane. So all the cations move towards Cathode(-ve electrode) and Anions move towards Anode (+ve electrode)

Hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode. It is recommended that this hydrogen rich water is the best anti-oxidant and should be drunk to fight oxidative stress. This H2 rich water will have a -ve ORP. It is the alkaline water.

 

But what about all the anions on the other electrode. We are basically wasting all those anions. ( Chlorides, Sulphates, etc.). Is WI a logical thing to use. It may be anti-oxidant but arn't we missing on all the anions.

Any comments?

well let`s look at it from a Chemical level, you say you`ll get Chloride and sulphate ions on one side, and so you`ll likely have Mg,Ca and Fe ions on the other side (assuming tap water is used).

ok, having that established how long do you expect these "ions" (in Very minute traces I might add) to last after hitting the Stomach?

 

you`de get a greater effect overall just adding some Mg, Fe, and Ca hydroxide by the teaspoon to the water and drinking it!

incidentally that would require several 10`s of gallons of water and lord knows how much electricity to produce doing it their way

even then the effect would be very little unless you had bad acid from a curry or something.
