Ive been drinking this water for a while.. A friend of mine showed me a water he prefers.. Its called Metroelectro Micronutrient Water. I read a review of it here.. http://www.iateapie.net/reviews/archives/2011/04/metroelectro-mi.php I was curious how you compare the two? Are they equal to you? and does the Metroelectro Micronutrient Water have anything that the Essentia does not? Please share your opinion... Thanks.. Hi Dr Marvin,..

Not quire sure as I’m not an expert at the thyroid. What I do know is that fluoride and mercury (2 materials used in dentistry) are known to cause hypothyroidism. Take a look at those areas if you have that condition.

Not something I know the answer to. Sorry. That’s a great question to ask your physician (or an ND, if you have one). Not something I know the answer to. Sorry.

You're definitely correct: food and your body itself are the primary factors into your pH, not water. That said, the article is mean to share my personal opinion on which water I drink. Is alkaline water good for you? Yes. Will it have a dramatic effect on your overall health? Probably not... But I'm not making that claim; I'm just sharing my personal preference and experience. Alkaline water does have a positive effect on the teeth, but any filtered water is good for your teeth: you need to rinse away the acid generated after you eat.Thanks for correctly pointing out that food is the primary effector of body pH. Sorry if it wasn't clear that this was a personal water preference, not a scientific article.Dr. Marvin Paul, thanks for the comment.

My point being that your body's pH is driven by the food you eat and a high alkaline water will have very little affect on it if any at all. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables is what you need to do to raise the pH of your body. If you drink a high pH water it only gets reduced to a low pH i.e acid when it hits the stomach. And if you were to drink enough high pH water to increase the pH of your stomach you would disrupt the digestion process and cause problems for yourself. There is no good science to support that a high pH water is of benefit and will increase the body's pH; People are using junk science to support their theory.

here are the results:
fuji: 8.5
arrowhead: 7.5
essentia: 7.2
hawaiian: 7.0

WHY this is, i do not know. maybe it is 9.5 when they bottled it. but this was tested using two strips per sample. essentia’s claim of “9.5″ appears to be extremely far off the mark. i urge you to test this yourself. i have not seen other reports of testing.

I plan to be in market for one later on this year. My Chiropractor swears by the one made by Kangen. Did you ever buy a water ionizer/alkalinizer if so how do you like it?

You should always check with your pediatrician though, to make sure it's okay in your particular case. It should be, as it’s just water.
