Beijing Business Daily News (reporter Guo Xiujuan and Wang Xiao) On March 28, #CCTV exposed the chaos of alkaline water marketing # on the hot search. According to CCTV, a water company in Kunming, Yunnan recently claimed that alkaline water has therapeutic effects, and also released some so-called “curative effect” videos on the public account, which were told by patients.
Experts say that alkaline water cannot replace medicine. For patients with gout or hyperacidity, sodium bicarbonate has a certain effect on alkalizing urine or relieving gastric acid, but the content of sodium bicarbonate in weak alkaline water is very small. The function of drinking water is to replenish water in the body, and it has no effect on regulating physical fitness.
In fact, the China Consumers Association has previously pointed out that the acid-base balance of the human body cannot be changed by drinking water, and the health benefits of weakly alkaline water are hyped by businesses.
