So the ionized water actually does leave the stomach at a different pH than 6.8?

Petrini seemed to be implying that there is no change whatsoever; ie. that the water does nothing.

That's not true. Studies show the water can either stimulate stomach secretions, or neutralize excess stomach secretions. It will bring about balance.

Petrini also mentions blood pH, which is irrelevant, showing that he isn't educated about this water. It's a straw man argument, since no one is claiming that ionized water changes blood pH. It's not about blood pH at all. The body will rob minerals from the rest of the body to buffer excess acidity in the blood, in order to keep it at a very narrow range. It's the rest of the body that is affected by ionized water, not the blood pH.

I see this all the time: doctors making statements about ionized water when they clearly don't know much about it.
