				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 dir="ltr">Lab-Tested Super Filters provides ultimate protection against fluoride and other toxins</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Tap water for most people is a toxic stew of pollutants, some of which are put there intentionally by municipal water authorities. <a title="The toxic stew of chemials in YOUR drinking water" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/news-updates/water-purification/what-is-in-drinking-water/">VOC’s like chlorine and or chloramine</a> can be found in virtually every water supply, and fluoride at levels known to cause dental fluorosis can be found in virtually every city that fluoridates their water. On top of that, heavy metals are present in many water supplies. LIFE Ionizers offers two filters &#8211; the Fluoride Super filter (AR-100F) and the VOC/Metals Super Filter (AR-100). Lab testing by Environmental Testing and Research Laboratories (ETR) shows that both filters were able  to reduce levels of all of these toxins to below detectable levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Should you be worried about toxins in your tap water? Click here for a free water quality report for your city’s municipal water.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Yes!</strong> LIFE’s <a title="Super Filter set - Fluoride, Metals and VOC filters" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/metal-fluoride-set-329.html">Super Filters </a>are designed to fit your <strong><em>existing</em> </strong>filtration system! They fit standard 10 inch filter housings</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Test 1: Fluoride Super Filter Test &#8211; No detectable level of fluoride</h2>
<div id="attachment_6043" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Super-filter-test-results.png"><img class=" wp-image-6043 " alt="LIFE Super Filter test results" src="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Super-filter-test-results.png" width="420" height="868" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">LIFE&#8217;s Super Filters provide protection that other filters can&#8217;t match</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">The EPA allows up to 4 mg/L of fluoride to be present in drinking water. ETR labs tested the Super filter with 4 mg/L fluoride in the test water. The Fluoride Super Filter removed all of it, the lab test showed that there was no detectable level of fluoride in the water after passing through the Super Filter.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fluoride Super Filter beat Activated Alumina Filter</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The Fluoride Super Filter was tested against the top competing filter that uses activated alumina. Most companies that sell anti-fluoride filters that use activated alumina. But activated alumina isn’t as good as the Fluoride Super Filter, it left 0.20 mg/L of fluoride (50%) in the water.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Test 2: Super Filter VOC Test &#8211; No detectable level of VOC’s</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Chlorine and chloramine are both added to disinfect water, and there is no question that both make water supplies safer from bacterial and viral infections. But the problem is, both chemicals form VOC’s like chloroform when they break down organic matter. The VOC’s were also eliminated by a competing filter that used KDF-55, which is commonly used as a VOC filter.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Test 2: Super Filter Heavy Metals Test</h2>
<p dir="ltr">After it had removed all of the VOC’s from the test water, the Super Filter was tested again to see if it could filter out chromium, mercury, lead, and copper. The Super Filter removed all of these metals to below detectable levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Super Filter beat KDF-55 Filter</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr">The competing KDF-55 filter was also tested for the same metals that the Super Filter was tested for. The KDF-55 filter failed to remove 0.053 mg/L copper and 0.01 mg/L of lead from the test water.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why LIFE’s Super Filters beat the competition</h2>
<p dir="ltr">LIFE’s Super Filter line of filters uses our proprietary Ion-trapping Technology Composite Blend (ITCB) technology, which was developed by our research staff.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What makes ITCB technology different from conventional filters is that it magnetically attracts toxins, and then binds them to itself. This means that the toxin can’t escape the filter. KDF-55 and activated alumina just can’t protect you like LIFE’s Super Filters can.</p>
<p dir="ltr">LIFE exclusive filtration technologies protect you from Fluoride, VOC’s, and heavy metals better than competing filters. Call us today at <strong>(888) 688-8889</strong> and we’ll find you the right filter for the toxins in your water.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr"><strong>Toxic Chemicals:</strong> The most common toxic things you’ll find in your drinking water are chlorine, chloramine and their byproducts. Fluoride will be present if it is added by your municipal water authority. Other toxic chemicals that can be found in your water depend on where you live.  If you live in Jacksonville Florida, you have the worst water quality in the nation, with highly toxic chemicals like trihalomethanes, lead, and arsenic present at harmful levels.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Toxic </strong><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/environment/ten-deadly-cities/%20‎"><strong>10</strong>  US Cities with the worst  water quality.</a></p>

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Beneficial Mineral</strong>s: Did you know? Your body absorbs calcium and magnesium 30% faster and easier from water than it does from food or supplements! The minerals found in drinking water &#8211; calcium carbonates and magnesium carbonates mostly &#8211; are very good for your health. If you have hard water, that means your drinking water is loaded with essential nutrients you need to get every day for better health, but you’re probably not drinking it.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Taste: The problem with hard water</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The minerals in hard water that make it healthy also make it taste bitter, or like chalk. Many people buy bottled water to avoid the taste of their tap water. Buying water in bottles is expensive and, ironically, most bottled water isn’t as beneficial to your health as your bad-tasting tap water! Most bottled waters have low mineral content and contain many of the same chemicals that tap water does!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How to fix bad tasting drinking water</h2>
<p dir="ltr">A home <a title="What does a water ionizer to do water?" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/ionizer-how.html">water ionizer</a> will make your tap water taste better than any other home water filtration system. Alkaline water from a water ionizer tastes slightly sweeter and more refreshing than plain water. If you want to get the health benefits of drinking more water, a water ionizer makes it easy for you by simply making your water taste great. In fact, Life Ionizers Guarantees we will make your tap water taste better than the water you’re drinking now.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Toxins: Because the toxins found in drinking water depend on where you live, LIFE Ionizers evaluates the annual water quality report that your municipal water authority gives to the EPA. You get a custom pre-filter system with your LIFE Ionizer that is specific to the toxins in your drinking water. LIFE Ionizer uses laboratory-grade Vitamin C Ceramic Block® (patent pending) filtration technology to address chlorine and chloramines in found in your drinking water.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The health benefits of alkaline water have been documented in many studies, and extolled by many people who changed their health for the better. A growing number of doctors are beginning to realize the healthy benefits of alkaline water, and more and more doctors every day are choosing to endorse it for their patients.  Here is a brief list of some well-known medical experts who decided to endorse alkaline water after seeing the benefits that their patients received after drinking alkaline water:</p>
<h2>Doctors who endorse LIFE Ionizers alkaline water ionizers</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Dr. Don Colbert</strong>, Author, 7 Pillars of Health &#8211; <strong>Endorses LIFE Ionizers</strong><img class="alignright" title="Dr Don Colbert" alt="image of dr. Don Colbert" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pUCbLwWF-Wt2mdcN86IBT9TH4EeZ92jABy0SSUt0D5cI8WoqMQdG4oFRsQnVashNT8TwYScANKpXE8PqfdLpKqeFOUYlGvIYm2DyyLRCKSvV4cNRyUP5db5E" width="86px;" height="99px;" />&#8221; I have had countless numbers of patients with painful osteoarthritis on many different medications for arthritis. Many have been pain free within a couple of months after adjusting their urine pH to 7.0 to 7.5 by consuming adequate amounts of alkaline water and alkaline foods. As a result, many are able to go off of their medications.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><b> </b></b></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Dr. Terry Rondberg</strong> &#8211; Dr. of Chiropractic &#8211; <strong>Endorses LIFE Ionizers</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><b><b><br />
<img class="alignright" title="Dr Terry Rondburg" alt="image of Dr Terry Rondburg" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/XOM6sS-_Vt0FEwcsEgv7RysHsk1rgTUAMpbGV92NK3gg9dTKnZbYWe0Rsi5VB_OhgML2XLApoKg_JLmFbCYenxHdh87IxvoXpjYKzYAW-OjQoby5gTiP-uo2" width="172px;" height="135px;" /></b></b>“The reason I decided to get a life ionizer is because I did my research. I don&#8217;t like to recommend things lightly &#8211; I have to really make sure they&#8217;re right for me. So I interviewed quite a few different people involved in alkalizing water and looked at a lot of different equipment. I wanted to make sure I got something that I could really appreciate and support. After speaking to several different companies and finding out more and more about this type of water &#8211; and I&#8217;ve been in the water business for a long time promoting clean water for decades &#8211; I found a company that I really feel good about; it&#8217;s called LIFE Ionizers. I actually visited the company and met a very professional team of experts who not only were very clear on the purpose of what they&#8217;re doing, but were also extremely helpful to me personally. I found their team to be so professional I purchased a LIFE Ionizer; and I can tell you the results have been incredible!</p>
<p>The weight that I&#8217;ve lost and the way I feel after using this equipment has so far surpassed any other similar product that I&#8217;ve had the chance to use. I&#8217;ve looked at a lot of different ionizers and have found the LIFE Ionizer to be so outstanding that I strongly recommend it to all my friends in the Chiropractic profession as well as those outside the profession. I have and will continue to endorse this equipment and the people that sell it. I think you&#8217;ll be more than satisfied with the way you&#8217;re treated and the high quality of water that you will drink as a result of purchasing a LIFE Ionizer.”<b><b></b></b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Dr. Craig Oster &#8211; Endorses LIFE Ionizers</strong><img class="alignright" title="Dr Craig Oster" alt="image of Dr Craig Oster" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/gTs86jt8o-Lkh_V6MCieeVQKHYSnPllvvsmGdmj1bsKWVgvFMblWTdbVha21rTVLe3rFDhjAppwGxRUTUW_wcLiNfdTovs4zb1esLtTyjEDrbYevvTgzbrMn" width="172px;" height="135px;" />“When, in 1994, I was given the diagnosis of ALS at age 30, and told that I would likely only live 3 to 5 more years, I was already aware of the importance of drinking plenty of pure water. Since the diagnosis, I have used several different kinds of water filtration systems, including reverse osmosis, ozone, and a carbon block system.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 2007, when I was further researching the role of water in health and healing, I was ecstatic to read about water ionization. I discovered that water ionization treatment alkalizes water. I had learned years earlier from the pioneering work of Dr. Robert Young that an acidic state in the body is often associated with disease, and that an alkaline state in the body is associated with greater health. This understanding had led me to adopt a high alkaline diet comprised mostly of raw foods. Furthermore, I was excited to learn that a high quality water ionization system transforms water into &#8220;micro-clustered water.&#8221; These micro-clusters of water molecules are more easily absorbed at the cellular level, which improves hydration and detoxification, as well as improving the delivery of nutrients at a cellular level.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I knew that I had to add ionized water to my holistic healing program, because my ongoing commitment to healing such a devastating health challenge was to do everything in my power to optimize healing. I set out to find a system of the highest quality, and of the best economic value because of the extreme health care expenses that were involved with a condition that had withered away 45 pounds of muscle mass. My research led me to the clear choice of purchasing a Life Ionizer system. I was thrilled that the Life Ionizer allowed me to have the option of having water at a PH level higher than units that were available from other manufacturers. Also, the Life Ionizer  systems generate the highest Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) amongst water ionizers on the market, creating powerful antioxidant water. Antioxidants are important for health, but especially when addressing ALS which is associated with high levels of free radicals.</p>
<p>I am grateful to enjoy vibrant water from my Life Ionizer system each and every day! It is not the chief cause of my dramatic progress in reversing the damage done to my body by ALS, but I would not be without it and I see my Life Ionizer system as an integral part of my holistic healing program.”<b><b><br />

<p dir="ltr"><strong>Dr.Travis Illian, PhD. &#8211; Endorses LIFE Ionizers</strong></p>
<p dir="ltr"><img class="alignright" title="Dr Travis Illian" alt="image of Dr Travis Illian" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/B1xejIFPzQ2xnXhU5_rPtF3o8UqhbQlIf4FI7dpM5AaIkK6u210NSqKYJCzk1bmxhST4V1zGeJkPNjI7QBCHKhgysszyKkV4-NF7omGrT8eqKG3ha0tYGVLp" width="168px;" height="130px;" />“I am a personal trainer for women&#8217;s gymnastics team, women&#8217;s soccer team, and men&#8217;s football teams. I have trained thousands of athletes in my career, so it goes without saying that fitness and health are a way of life for me. I know that especially for collegiate and professional athletes, hydration is key, which is why I came to Life Ionizers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Because of the nature of my job, I&#8217;m always on the move, on my feet the whole day, working with athletes to keep them in top physical condition. Before I tried alkaline water, I had always made it a point to stay hydrated during the day with regular water, but even so,I&#8217;d begun to live with what I had experienced as a constant bit of joint stiffness. What I found in LIFE Ionizer alkaline water changed the whole game plan.</p>
<p dir="ltr">About three months ago, I had heard about alkaline lifestyle through conducting research for my doctoral dissertation. I researched alkaline water and the ionizers that produce them, and then I decided to try alkaline water out for myself before making the investment in a machine.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Like a lot of things in my life, I spend a lot of time in the research phases to determine the efficacy of a fitness strategy. Even with something as fundamental as water, my attention to research was no different.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I called around to different ionizer companies to learn more from them about what made their ionizer the best. That&#8217;s really where LIFE Ionizer® stepped up and said &#8220;Hey you know what, we believe in our product so much, you can try it – and if you don&#8217;t like it, you can send it back to us, no questions asked.&#8221; After drinking alkaline water for 3 months, I no longer experience joint stiffness. My joints truly feel better. I have more energy and I feel so much more hydrated and healthy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It&#8217;s not just a feeling – The water really is better than anything out there: sports drinks, energy drinks, and all the other so-called &#8220;healthy&#8221; energy junk that people put in their body.You don&#8217;t get more natural than this. The taste is amazing. Alkaline water tastes so smooth when compared to anything else. It&#8217;s so refreshing when I compare it to tap water.I used to drink and drink that stuff, but never really feel that my thirst was quenched. With alkaline water, I can feel my cells hydrating.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Not only am I now hooked on the Life Ionizer® alkaline water – my athletes are too.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks, Life Ionizers!”</p>

In contrast, subjects who consumed the placebo bottled water showed no changes over the same period of time. These results indicate that the habitual consumption of AK water may be a valuable nutritional vector for influencing both acid-base balance and hydration status in healthy adults.</p>

<p dir="ltr">&#8220;We talk a lot about Oxidation Reduction Potential and it&#8217;s huge, but lets not forget that we&#8217;re talking about alkaline water and if your asking which is more important, it is the ORP, but alkalinity is very important too. Everything in the body works better when the body is alkaline, enzymes work better and enzymes are necessary for most functions in the body even creating energy, even electricity. The electricity that all cells work on in the body, it&#8217;s essential that you have a alkaline environment. It limits how much energy or how fast the reactions can occur. If you don&#8217;t have the proper enzyme functions, and is to some degree the measure of alkalinity everything in the body works off of hormones too. You&#8217;ve got thyroid hormones, testosterone, estrogen, all the different hormones in the body. Alkalinity makes those work better.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Ray Kurzweil PhD., Author, Inventor, Scientist, Technologist</strong><img class="alignright" title="Dr Ray Kurzweil" alt="image of Dr Ray Kurzweil" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/90LwM9XGu6JsdSrW6tzKPzLOXGO1GTwLyKWEgFIMBnf76ZqiusmN9_ama7TbvFJn3DB6uSxW-CKF5G4arknEuLlPW2JgD7yOrAOON3mnHaPa-TBRHmsOqK0b" width="128px;" height="137px;" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;There are more benefits to “alkaline water” than simply the alkalinity or pH. The most important feature of alkaline water produced by a water alkalinizer is its oxidation reduction potential (ORP). Water with a high negative ORP is of particular value in its ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;Free radicals are among the most damaging molecules in the body and are highly unstable molecules that are oxidizing agents and are electron deficient. They are a principal cause of damage and disease in the body. Oxygen free radicals contribute significantly to a broad variety of harmful conditions in the body ranging from life-threatening conditions such as heart disease, stroke and cancer, to less severe conditions such as sunburns, arthritis, cataracts, and many others. Free radicals MUST get electrons from somewhere and will steal them from whatever molecules are around, including normal, healthy tissues.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;Damage to tissues results when free radicals strip these electrons from healthy cells. If the damage goes on unchecked, this will lead to disease. For example, the oxidation of LDL cholesterol particles in arterial walls by free radicals triggers an immune system response that results in atherosclerosis, the principal cause of heart disease. The negative ions in alkaline water from an electrolysis machine are a rich source of electrons that can be donated to these free radicals in the body, neutralizing them and stopping them from damaging healthy tissues. Specifically, these ions have the potential to engage in the chemical reactions necessary to neutralize oxygen free radicals.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;Another benefit of drinking alkaline water is that it assists in the absorption of minerals. We know that if the body is not absorbing enough minerals, it will rob minerals from the body’s mineral reserves, chiefly calcium from the bones.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;It is well known that many chronic diseases result in excess acidity of the body (metabolic acidosis). We also know that the body tends to become more acidic due to modern dietary habits and lifestyles and the aging process itself. By drinking high negative ORP alkaline water, you combat metabolic acidosis and improve absorption of nutrients.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;The blood is carefully buffered to keep it in a narrow range between pH 7.35 to 7.45. The body keeps blood pH stable by utilizing alkaline buffers, chiefly bicarbonate, to neutralize acidic liquids (such as colas, which have a pH as low as 2.5) and other acidic products and byproducts. But as the blood stream receives these acidic substances, the alkaline buffers get used up.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Drinking alkaline water helps reduce the burden on the limited alkaline buffers which are needed for the body’s natural detoxification&#8221;<b><b><br />

<p dir="ltr">“Ionized alkaline antioxidant water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that this water can neutralize toxins.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, the results are most significant. During my long years of servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in this group showed intelligence above average.”</p>

<p dir="ltr">&#8220;This profound discovery will change the face of medicine.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr"> “As a Biological Medicine Physician, I have been measuring the levels of oxidation in the bodily fluids for about a decade using a very sophisticated piece of lab equipment called the QFA (Quantitative Fluid Analysis). Based on the rate of oxidation in these fluids this measurement device calculates a person’s biological age.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;For most of people this biological age is generally 20-50 years older than their actual chronological age. Since it is our biological age that determines the length of our life, that number is quite significant. More than three years of testing and research have led me to the discovery that drinking reduced alkaline water is the most effective tool for quickly, easily and economically changing the rate of oxidation on cells that I have ever encountered.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;As the cell walls of our body become oxidized, they become sticky and this prevents hydration of the body as well as nutrient absorption and cell waste to be expelled. The -ORP (Ed: Reduction Potential of the water) removes oxidation from the cell wall and allows for better hydration, and cell metabolism and overall cell health.&#8221;</p>

Alkaline water should be used when conditions of over acidity develop, such as cold, flu or bronchitis. Like vitamins C, E and Beta Carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free electrons. This can help the body against the development of heart disease, strokes, immune dysfunctions, and other common ailments.&#8221;<b><b></b></b></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">I recently read a book called Dancing with Water by MJ Pangman and Melanie Evans that makes seven allegations about<a title="What is ionized alkaline water?" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/alkaline-water.html"> ionized alkaline water</a>. What all seven of the claims made in Dancing with Water had in common is that they are based on pseudo-scientific nonsense. The book makes claims such as water being microclustered, that have been thoroughly debunked, on this blog and elsewhere.</p>
<div id="attachment_6023" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 430px"><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/dancing-with-water.png"><img class=" wp-image-6023 " alt="dancing with water, debunked, infographic" src="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/dancing-with-water.png" width="420" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Water has to obey the same laws of chemistry and physics everything else does</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">Below are the seven claims made by the Author of  Dancing with Water and the facts which prove the claims are not true. The purpose that  Dancing with Water was written was to sell you (among other things) water filtration products. So it’s not surprising that the author would look for any reason to discredit the <a title="Benefits of alkaline water and the studies that prove it" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/alkaline-water-benefits.html">health benefits of alkaline water.</a></p>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim:</strong> Alkaline water hinders digestion. The author points out that fifty percent of people over the age of 60 are hypochlorhydric. This is true, but then the author claims that: “people who begin to drink alkaline ionized water end up with digestive trouble” (false) and that “Most of those who promote alkaline water are aware of this problem” (false)</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact</strong>: LIFE Ionizers has been selling water ionizers in the US since 1996. In this time, we have received exactly zero reports of customers developing digestive trouble. Clinical testing done in Japan shows that 88% of people with upset stomachs actually found relief from their symptoms by drinking alkaline water.  We do recommend you don’t drink alkaline water before and during meals, and that goes  for all water, not just alkaline mineral water. Water dilutes your digestive juices when you eat.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim:</strong> Alkaline water does not balance the body’s pH. One of the arguments used in favor of alkaline water, supposes that its consumption will alkalize the body and negate the buildup of acids caused by our modern diet and lifestyle.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact</strong>: LIFE Ionizers doesn’t subscribe to the Acid/Alkaline theory this author is quoting. In fact, we debunk the Acid/Alkaline Theory in this article.</p>
<p><strong>Fact</strong>: Alkaline water supplies alkaline minerals (calcium and magnesium). As the Author of Dancing with Water suggested, it is alkaline minerals that your body uses to buffer acids. You can test the pH of your urine and prove this  yourself. Urine pH  increases when you drink alkaline water.  <b><b><br />
</b></b></p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim</strong>: Another reason NOT to drink alkaline ionized water is that a water ionizer allegedly “damages” the  molecular structure of water.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact</strong>: Water molecules DO NOT form any kind of molecular structure in liquid form. Claims that water is somehow “structured” “micro clustered” or hexagonal” are pseudo-scientific rubbish.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Physics</strong>: There are three states of matter: Solid, liquid, and gas. In solid form, water becomes ice. The molecules  form hexagonal crystal structures (the familiar snowflake form). In liquid or gas form, water molecules DO NOT form structures. they move about freely, independent of one another.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim</strong>: Alkaline ionized water contains calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide that contribute to arterial plaque and joint disorders.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact:</strong> Calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are both completely safe for human consumption and used to fortify food with nutrients. Who says? The FDA Both of these minerals are listed in the FDA’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) database:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GRAS/SCOGS/ucm260885.htm" target="_blank">http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GRAS/SCOGS/ucm260885.htm</a></p>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GRAS/SCOGS/ucm260463.htm">http://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/GRAS/SCOGS/ucm260463.htm</a></p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact:</strong> Calcium hydroxide is also used by municipal water authorities to raise the pH of tap water &#8211; millions of tons of it in fact.  Calcium hydroxide is used to fortify infant formula and orange juice with calcium. Magnesium hydroxide is also commonly used to fortify foods with magnesium.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim:</strong> Alkaline water is imbalanced. Water ionizers separate water into two streams.  One contains the acidic ions.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact</strong>: Alkaline water from a water ionizer contains mineral cations, AND hydroxyl anions. It is physically impossible to have water with only calcium and/or magnesium in it. It is physically impossible to have “imbalanced” water.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Chemistry</strong>: If you put a piece of pure calcium or magnesium into water, you may very well cause an explosion! Calcium and magnesium in water will release hydrogen gas and heat. This is because calcium and magnesium in water MUST reach chemical equilibrium &#8211; balance. According to Le Chatelier&#8217;s Principle: All things MUST find equilibrium! The laws of nature do not allow anything to remain unbalanced &#8211; especially water!</p>
<ol start="6">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim:</strong> Alkaline ionized water causes cell death and fibrosis of the heart.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">There are zero reports of alkaline water causing any kind of heart trouble. The studies the author cites were done on rats. There was a major flaw in those studies. The researchers used a dilute solution of salt water to make the water they fed to the rats.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Salt water in a water ionizer makes bleach! This study was literally feeding dilute amounts of bleach to the rats! Research conducted by the Livermore National Laboratories shows that chlorine in water with an alkaline pH is not good for the heart. The bleach that the scientists didn’t realize they were making caused all the trouble cited in the study.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This is why water ionizers, and LIFE Ionizers in particular have taken extensive measures to ensure there is no chlorine in the water they make. LIFE Ionizers developed our laboratory-grade Vitamin C Ceramic Block technology  specifically to eliminate chlorine from the water our machine produce. Testing performed by ETL certified labs shows that there is no detectable levels of chlorine in water produced by a LIFE Ionizer.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Another claim</strong>: The author goes on to claim that  Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, a cardiac surgeon and Director of the Water Institute in Japan, determined that the benefits of alkaline ionized water were due to hydrogen in the water.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact:</strong> This is more pseudo-scientific rubbish. Hydrogen in water has NO EFFECT on your health. If you drink water with hydrogen in it, the hydrogen will simply come back up as a burp. The ONLY organs in your body that can absorb gases are your lungs.</p>
<ol start="7">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Claim:</strong> Alkaline ionized water is aggressive and unnatural.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The author presents no medical references to support this statement. Alkaline water is nowhere near as aggressive as a can of soda. In fact, we tested this. It took 18 glasses of level 4 alkaline water from a water ionizer to neutralize the acid in one can of soda.</p>
<p>Alkaline water from a water ionizer resembles artesian well water. Both get their alkalinity from calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. People have been drinking alkaline water from water ionizers for over two decades. People have been drinking artesian well water for centuries (because of it’s superior benefits for health!) Alkaline water from a water ionizer is natural and beneficial, just like artesian well water. That is why both kinds of water are highly prized for health.<b><b><br />
</b></b></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="padding-left: 30px;">8<strong>. Claim</strong>: Alkaline ionized water can be therapeutic for short periods of time but it should never be consumed on a regular basis unless you are prepared for digestive problems, organ failure, arterial build-up, joint calcification, and metabolic imbalances.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Fact:</strong> There are no reports of ANY ill health effects from drinking ionized alkaline water. The Author of Dancing with Water has obviously never heard of the US FDA. If you sell an unsafe health product in the US, the US FDA will shut you down. In fact, if you sold something for health that caused “digestive problems, organ failure, arterial build-up, joint calcification, and metabolic imbalances” (which the author claims) You would be arrested, your company would be seized, and you would go to prison! Also, you would be sued by everybody that got hurt by your product.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Dancing with Water &#8211; Don’t believe the hype</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Any competent chemist, physicist,  or doctor can give you many reasons why the information presented in the book  Dancing with Water is complete nonsense. Water ionizers, just like every other machine on Earth must obey the laws of chemistry and physics. The claims made in  Dancing with Water defy the laws of chemistry and physics. That makes those claims untrue.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">People in the bronze age ate differently than we do today. Before there were refrigerators and supermarkets, people ate a mostly raw, plant-based diet. Dr. Don Colbert recently appeared on the Dr. Oz show and discussed his research on a scriptural basis for a healthy diet which Dr. Colbert believes is an alkaline diet.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 182px"><img alt="image of dr. Don Colbert" src="http://lifeionizers.com/images/Testimonial-Images/Health-Care/dr-don-colbert.jpg" width="172" height="135" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Dr. Don Colbert &#8211; Recommends LIFE Ionizers and an alkaline diet</p></div>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>The Fact</strong>s: People in ancient times didn’t live as long as we do today, but the levels of obesity and other diseases caused by poor diets were unheard of!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How food was different 2,000 years ago</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Colbert studies scriptures for clues about what people would have eaten in the time that Jesus is thought to have existed. In those times, people ate a mostly plant-based diet. Foods that were popular in the Middle East include lentils, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, dates, nuts, and fish. Amazingly, some people snacked on grasshoppers and crickets! Meats were rarely eaten because of the lack of refrigeration. Most of the food was consumed raw, and some health experts consider this to be ideal for better nutrition.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Water was different too. It was free of chemicals, and naturally <a title="What is alkaline water?" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/alkaline-water.html">alkaline water</a>.  Today the only way to get water like that is from a home water ionizer. Bottled water just isn&#8217;t the same.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Dr Colbert on Dr. OZ</h2>
<p><object width="420" height="315" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tmDo2b9Gaws?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="420" height="315" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tmDo2b9Gaws?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The science behind a raw, alkaline foods diet</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Some scientists believe that our bodies are designed to eat a raw, alkaline diet based on our teeth. Humans have  four canine teeth, eight frontal teeth and many molars. The reason this suggests we are designed for a plant-based diet is:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">We have four canine teeth that are designed to tear meat apart.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Our eight frontal teeth  known as incisors, are used to bite fruits and vegetables.</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Most of our teeth, however, are molars. They are used to grind and crush plants and seeds.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Colbert believes that because the majority of our teeth are molars, that we are designed to eat mostly plants. Carnivores have more than 4 canine teeth, and jaws designed to bite off chunks of meat.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another clue that suggests that we are designed to eat plants is our saliva. Human saliva is alkaline and has enzymes in it like amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates and plants. Carnivores have acidic saliva and lack amylase.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our intestines also give us a clue as to how we should be eating according to Dr. Colbert. Your intestines are four times longer than you are tall. Carnivores have intestines about twice as long as they are tall. Shorter intestines allow meat to pass through the digestive tract quickly before it starts to rot.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">A Healthy Alkaline Diet &#8211; According to Dr. Colbert</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The diet Dr. Colbert recommends is similar to the Mediterranean Diet, and similar to what Dr. Colbert believes scriptures recommend:</p>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Calculate Your Breakfast Time and &#8220;Break Your Fast&#8221; Accordingly: Eat breakfast very early so you can have the energy and fuel for a full day’s work. You should be breaking your fast every morning 12 hours after your last meal the previous day. If you had you dinner at 6 p.m., you should break your fast the next morning at 6 a.m.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Linger Over Lunch: Many people rush through lunch, eat at their desks at work, and wolf down their food. The key to eating better is making lunch your biggest meal and eat in as much of a relaxed atmosphere as possible.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Eat a Light Dinner at 4pm: Your digestive system should not have to work on overdrive when you should be sleeping. Eat dinner as early in the evening as possible.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Wine and Walk: This should not be confused with wining and dining. Wine is good for the heart. But don&#8217;t overdo it!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">A study that examined the mineral content of hair from 47 women in Sweden shows that the water you drink will influence the minerals that your body ultimately absorbs. In the study, <a title="Benefits of alkaline water - and the studies that prove it" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/alkaline-water-benefits.html">alkaline water</a> drinkers had higher concentrations of essential nutrients like calcium in their hair. Acidic water drinkers had higher levels of toxic elements like mercury in their hair. The results of the study led the researchers to conclude: “Alkaline water may protect from the toxic effects of mercury.”</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Alkaline Water is Healthy Water</h2>
<div id="attachment_6008" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 458px"><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/alkaline-water-detox-mercury.png"><img class=" wp-image-6008 " alt="alkaline water detoxification from mercury infographic" src="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/alkaline-water-detox-mercury.png" width="448" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Your hair is made of the minerals you drink &#8211; alkaline or acid &#8211; and protein</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">The pH of the water you drink, and the minerals in it play an important role in keeping your body healthy, and protecting your from toxins.<a title="Clinical testing: Bioabvailablity of calcium in water" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/health-more/alkaline-water-calcium/"> Clinical testing of alkaline and acid water</a> enriched with calcium shows that the body retains more calcium from alkaline water than it does from acidic water.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How alkaline water helps you detoxify</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Alkaline water from a water ionizer has been shown to promote higher levels of antioxidant activity in the liver, which helps it flush toxins more efficiently. In fact, alkaline water is fast becoming a popular way to recover from a hangover!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Your body also needs adequate levels of hydration for it’s detoxification systems to work their best. Alkaline water is the water of choice for your hydration needs. Research has shown that it hydrates better than plain water, and raises the pH of your urine, which may help your kidneys discharge toxic acids.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why alkaline water may protect from the toxic effects of mercury</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Researchers have speculated on two possibilities. Alkaline water may be naturally free of toxins like mercury, or the pH of alkaline water actually prevents the body from absorbing mercury. One fact is very clear, if you don’t want toxins like mercury in your body, make sure they’re not in your water! LIFE Ionizers come with a custom pre-filter that can be configured to filter toxins like mercury if they’re in your water supply. If you’re not sure what toxins have been found in your water. LIFE Ionizers will find out.

<h2 dir="ltr">Can LIFE Water Ionizers be damaged by electrolysis enhancer?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">No, LIFE’s drinking water ionizers don’t use electrolysis enhancer. We recommend you <strong>never run salt water</strong> in a drinking water ionizer.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you want a water ionizer that generates strong alkaline and acidic water, get a<a title="LIFE HydraCide batch water ionizer" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/products/ionizers/counter-top-ionizers/3000.html"> batch ionizer</a>. These machines make ionized water one batch at a time. I have been making strong ionized water using salt and water with a LIFE HydraCide batch ionizer for two years now. The plates are still going strong &#8211; because <strong>they are made for producing strong ionized water</strong>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In fact, you can get a LIFE Drinking water ionizer AND a  LIFE HydraCide batch ionizer for less than you’d pay for a kangen water<b id="docs-internal-guid-73a20379-804d-983a-2eff-c689aa091be2">®</b> machine!

<div id="attachment_5980" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 458px"><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/alkaline-water-osmosis.png"><img class=" wp-image-5980 " alt="alkaline water surface tension experiment" src="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/alkaline-water-osmosis.png" width="448" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alkaline water hydrates better than plain water because it&#8217;s easier to absorb</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">Why does <a title="What is alkaline water?" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/alkaline-water.html">alkaline water</a> hydrate better than plain water? Because it has lower surface tension than regular water. The surface tension of water determines how well your cells can absorb it through osmosis. The lower the surface tension, the easier it is to absorb.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The <a title="What are mineral hydrates?" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/alkaline-water/alkaline-water-made-of/">calcium and magnesium hydrates</a> in alkaline water act as <em>osmotics</em> &#8211; substances that reduce the surface tension of water. When you reduce the surface tension of water, it becomes easier to absorb through <em>osmosis</em>. Alkaline water’s surface tension can be compared to plain water with a simple experiment called “The penny experiment”.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">The Penny Experiment: Surface tension of alkaline water vs. plain water</h2>
<p dir="ltr">You can test the surface tension of water by counting how many drops of water you can get to sit on a penny before it spills over. The water’s surface tension is what holds it in place on the side of the penny. The lower the surface tension, the less drops of water you can fit on the penny before it overflows the sides of the penny.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Use an eyedropper and two pennies. Hold the eyedropper a little above the penny so the droplet has to drop on to the penny. Count how many drops you can fit on the penny until they spill over.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Important:</strong> Hold the eyedropper at the same height when adding drops to both pennies. Gravity will affect the outcome of this experiment!</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Penny test &#8211; Our Results</strong></p>

</div>
<p><b><b> </b></b></p>
<p dir="ltr">As you can see from the results we got, you can fit more drops of tap water on a penny than you can with alkaline water. The reason is that the surface tension of alkaline water is lower than the plain water it was compared against.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why alkaline water has lower surface tension than plain water</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The mineral hydrates in alkaline water lower the surface tension of water. Plain tap water contains carbonate minerals &#8211; Calcium and magnesium carbonates. A water ionizer splits the carbonates from the alkaline minerals. The minerals then hydrolyze &#8211; combine with &#8211;  <a title="Hydroxyl ions: Why alkaline water has antioxidant potential" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/alkaline-water/alkaline-water-hydroxyl-ions/">hydroxyl ions</a> taken from water molecules.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">About the mineral hydrates in alkaline water</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Calcium hydrate and magnesium hydrate are both recognized for their contribution to human nutrition. In fact, calcium hydrate is used to fortify orange juice and infant formula with calcium. Magnesium hydrate is the active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The amount of hydrate minerals you get in your alkaline water depends on the amount of carbonate minerals in your tap water. If you have hard water, you have plenty of minerals to make alkaline water with!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">In an article called <em>The Acid Alkaline Theory of Disease Nonsense</em>  Dr. Gabe Mirkin MD claims that the acid/alkaline theory of disease is nonsense.He’s right to point out that not all disease has a link to acidity. And the body does adjust it’s own pH in response to a buildup of acidity. What Dr. Mirkin doesn’t understand is, some of the ways your body adjusts it’s pH in response to <a title="Effects of acidity in the body" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/acidity-in-the-body.html" target="_blank">acidity can be harmful to your health</a>. For example, bone lost when the body uses calcium from your bones to neutralize acidity &#8211; this leads to weak bones.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why alkalizing the body is good for your health</h2>
<div id="attachment_5973" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 402px"><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/acid-alkaline-theory.png"><img class=" wp-image-5973  " alt="acid alkaline theory of disease infographic" src="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/acid-alkaline-theory.png" width="392" height="303" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alkaline foods and alkaline water can help you avoid using calcium from your bones to neutralize acid</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">The purpose of alkalinity and an alkaline lifestyle is to avoid some of the more harmful adjustments the body makes when it regulates it&#8217;s pH. For example,  Dr. Mirkin mentions that when excess organic acids accumulate in your body, calcium is taken from the bones to neutralize it. One of the main reasons to drink alkaline water is to provide an alternate source of calcium to your body.You can balance out the acids in your body with calcium from your bones, or you can provide calcium from an outside source, such as alkaline water. Which way would you choose?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Alkaline mineral water is an excellent source of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Both calcium and magnesium are absorbed 30% easier and faster from water than they are from food or supplements. The World Health Organization recommends you get up to 20% of your calcium from water. Alkaline water has demonstrated a link to bone health in studies. Even the Mayo Clinic agrees, alkaline water shows a link to bone health.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Are YOU at risk for weak bones? Here&#8217;s how to <a title="How to test yourself for calcium loss" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/health-more/alkaline-water-bone-health-test/">test yourself for calcium loss</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Alkaline water and stomach pH</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Mirkin&#8217;s claims that alkaline water doesn&#8217;t change the pH of the stomach, he is wrong. <a title="Clinical testing of effect of alkaline water on intra-stomach pH" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/news-updates/health-concerns-and-ailments/alkaline-water-health/">Clinical tests of alkaline water </a>in Japan that measured the pH inside the stomachs of people who drank alkaline water showed that it raised the pH of their stomachs from .5 &#8211; 1 pH. The test subject’s stomach pH stayed higher for about a half hour.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Alkaline water, urine pH, and metabolic syndrome</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Mirkin claims that alkaline water raises the pH of the urine, he is right. Raising the pH of your urine &#8211; if it is too low &#8211; is a good thing.Because the <a title="Symptoms of metabolic syndrome and the link to low urine pH: Study" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/health-more/alkaline-water-metabolic-syndrome/">symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome</a> show a link to chronic low urinary pH. The lower your urine pH, the more symptoms of metabolic syndrome you are likely to have.  The symptoms of metabolic syndrome are:</p>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Obesity</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">High Blood Pressure</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Diabetes</p>
</li>
<li dir="ltr">
<p dir="ltr">Kidney Stones</p>
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">The difference between having all of those symptoms and having NONE of those symptoms is just a half of a pH!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Click here to learn how to <a title="How to test your urine pH" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/health-more/alkaline-water-benefits-urine-ph/">test your urine pH</a></p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Alkalinity for Health, not Disease</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Dr. Mirkin’s concerns about disease claims are valid. The purpose of eating healthy foods and drinking healthy water is to provide your body two things that it needs for good health; nutrition, and hydration. Even doctors agree, your body is often it’s own best medicine. Many people have recovered from poor health conditions after switching to a healthier alkaline lifestyle. Alkaline foods, alkaline water, exercise, and stress reduction are all important parts of that healthy lifestyle.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Yes!</strong> We can help you switch to a healthier lifestyle that includes alkaline water, foods, exercise and stress relief. Call our alkaline living experts today at (888) 688-8889 and take the first step towards a healthier life today.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="ltr">Lemon juice and <a title="Benefits of alkaline water - and the studies that prove it" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/water-facts/alkaline-water-benefits.html">alkaline water</a> together have greater potential health benefits than either does alone. Both supply alkalinity, and when mixed together, alkaline water enhances the antioxidant activity of the vitamin C in the lemon juice. Alkaline water will also help to neutralize some of the acidity in lemon juice.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why lemon juice alkalizes your body</h2>
<div id="attachment_5967" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 458px"><a href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/alkaline-water-lemon-juice.png"><img class=" wp-image-5967 " alt="benefits of alkaline water and lemon juice infographic" src="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/alkaline-water-lemon-juice.png" width="448" height="280" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Alkaline water and lemon juice &#8211; better together</p></div>
<p dir="ltr">Lemon juice has an acidic pH of about 2.3, but it has a high alkaline mineral content. When lemon juice is metabolized, it releases alkaline minerals that contribute to the body’s alkaline buffer. Alkaline water will buffer some of that acidity because it supplies alkaline mineral hydrates.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Why alkaline water and lemon juice have antioxidant potential</h2>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><a title="The science of Free Radicals" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/newsletters/hydroxyl-ion-versus-hydroxyl-radical/">Superoxide radical</a>:</strong> Lemon juice gets it’s antioxidant benefit from ascorbic acid which is vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant because it breaks down the Superoxide Radical down into hydrogen Peroxide and water in a process called . Superoxide is a pair of Oxygen atoms that have bonded together that has an unpaired electron. Electrons be present in pairs or groups of 4 for a substance to be stable. Because superoxide has an unpaired electron, it will grab an extra electron from DNA and cells to pair that electron up with. Vitamin C will break down the superoxide, but this process still leaves hydrogen peroxide, which also damages tissue.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><strong>Hydrogen peroxide</strong> is two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. The mineral hydrates in alkaline water consist of an alkaline mineral cation, and a hydroxyl anion. The Hydroxyl anion is a single hydrogen atom combined with a single oxygen atom. The hydroxyl anion is able to break hydrogen peroxide down into water by accepting hydrogen peroxide&#8217;s excess oxygen atom. This means that alkaline water in effect finishes the job that vitamin C starts!</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How to make  alkalizing antioxidant alkaline lemon juice</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Use <a title="Benefits of alkaline water with a high pH" href="http://www.lifeionizers.com/blog/news-updates/general/benefits-alkaline-water-high-ph/">level 4 alkaline water</a> from a water ionizer.  A LIFE Ionizer provides the added benefits of filtering your water through our Vitamin C Ceramic Block® filter, which helps improve the antioxidant quality of your water. The high pH of the alkaline water made by a LIFE Ionizer helps neutralize more acidity from the lemons than weaker machines like the Kangen water® machine.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Put about a teaspoon of lemon juice in 16 oz. of alkaline water, and then sweeten to taste with Stevia. Avoid sweetening with artificial sweeteners or with sugar, all of these are acid-formers which will defeat the purpose of this alkalizing drink.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You should drink the alkaline water and lemon juice right away. The antioxidant potential of any beverage &#8211; including Orange Juice and infant formula &#8211; declines very quickly!</p>
