Several years ago a researcher did a study in Salt Lake City where he tested the pH of over 2,000 Utahans. Only two had a pH of 7.0 or higher, which is considered healthy. Ninety percent ranged between 4.5 and 5.5, which is guaranteed they will have cancer or some other major disease if they don't change their lifestyle. Ten percent were borderline to being in the healthy range.
One 16 oz. Coca Cola poured into ten gallons of pH 7.0 water will drop the pH to 4.5. For each soft drink that you consume, you need to drink 32 glasses of pH 7.0 water in order to neutralize the effects of that one soft drink.
Many people drink no water at all, but instead live on "big" sodas from their favorite 7-eleven or junk food restaurant. At this rate, we will soon have to remove "health" from the dictionary because it will be a word that no longer exists.
