""There is no basis for any health claims at all" for alkaline drinking water, adds Santa Barbara, Calif., gastroenterologist John Petrini, past president of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. After it is digested, food and water goes into the stomach and—no matter what pH it was when it entered—ends up leaving the stomach at a pH of about 6.8, Dr. Petrini says. And no matter what you eat, your body has effective mechanisms to keep your blood in a narrow range between 7.35 and 7.45, he adds."

This John Petrini clearly isn't educated about ionized water. Doctors who are ignorant of this technology always pull out the "but you can't change blood pH" card which is true, but ionized water doesn't change blood pH - it changes the pH of bodily fluids.
