Some say drinking alkaline water is beneficial for health. This has to do with maintaining body pH so the body does not become acidic. Others claim that body pH is naturally maintained.
My view is that drinking highly alkaline water is potentially dangerous and damaging to your health. In the short term you may feel better and for some diseases it may be appropriate but long term I think you're taking a serious and unwarranted risk. Drink appropriately filtered water instead.
