My mother has a friend whose husband bought a “water magnetizer”. He is all into Scientology, energies, and all that stuff (that guy sure is annoying at parties and kinda looks like a huge Caucasian chimp).
Anyway, he always make me cringe, but… this was a whole new record in cringiness.
-Help your body to get rid of toxins
-Improve bowel movements
-Improve digestion and avoid gastritis
-Reduces sugar levels on blood
-a lot of other stuff, such as increasing the water’s alkalinity levels and “free radicals”… (yes, the water filter claims that it can do all that stuff! why go to a doctor ever again?)
I would be afraid that I would install the damnthing backwards and reverse the polarity of the water. The first sip would probably kill me within minutes.
Here is an image with a Brazilian ad for this stupid product. If you want you can transtale it, eh… How is that even legal?
Curiously enough some of the claimed benefits do happen… when you drink water.
That’s actually a very good point. Chronic dehydration can lead to constipation and other digestive problems, can increase and/or accelerate skin wrinkling, and can make it more difficult for your kidneys etc. to work efficiently. So, drinking the woo-water WILL help alleviate those problems … but then again, so will drinking water straight outta the tap. (Assuming you’re not in one of “those” countries.)
On the other hand, I just saw the “increases water alkalinity” part of the OP and went :eek::eek::eek:. I live in an area with unbelievable hard, alkaline water, so the idea of wanting to increase that aspect further … no. Just, no.
