A simple demonstration of the antioxidant properties of alkaline water: steel wool was placed in normal tap water and in alkaline water. The containers were sealed. Steel wool in the tap water was rusted within a few hours; In alkaline water, the steel wool remained unrusted after 4 days. |
Oxidation Reduction Potential (O.R.P.)
Virtually all liquids have an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP), which is the
potential for one liquid substance to reduce the oxidation of another substance,
as measured in millivolts (mV). In other words, the more powerful
the antioxidant, the lower the ORP level. As things oxidize, the ORP rises. ORP
is easily measured with a calibrated meter.
Normal tap water has an ORP of +250 to +400, meaning that its potential for
reducing oxidation is nonexistent. Only a negative ORP can reduce or negate
oxidation. Alkaline ionized water has an ORP of -200 to -700, depending in part
on the amount of minerals in the source water and how the ionizer is adjusted.
This means it has a very high potential for reducing oxidation. Fresh squeezed
orange juice has a -250 ORP, as do most other fresh squeezed juices and vegetables.
However, if they have been pasteurized or otherwise processed, the antioxidant
properties are diminished or removed. Tests reveal that bottled mineral
waters have an average ORP of approximately +200mV only slightly lower than
ordinary tap water.
Here are the results of ORP tests we performed in Canadian and US cities.

"We are advancing the theory that the most effective and economical source
for an antioxidant is ordinary tap water after it is filtered and treated with
electrolysis." Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D. Director, Water Institute, Tokyo Japan.
