"This was a comprehensive review article of all the studies that published at the time on alkaline ionized water, including a paper that I was involved in, and so many groups demonstrated that when you simply remove the hydrogen gas from alkaline ionized water, the benefits are eliminated."
LeBaron co-authored a comprehensive review demonstrating that all purported benefits of alkaline water disappear when dissolved hydrogen gas is removed, debunking the widespread belief that pH drives health benefits. The review systematically examined claims about pH, negative ORP, and water micro-clustering, conclusively showing molecular hydrogen is solely responsible for any therapeutic effects. This challenges the multi-million dollar alkaline water industry where consumers pay premium prices for high-pH water.
