Health knowledge made personal
Hi,
I just called Melwood Springs Natural Spring Water in Georgia and they report that their water has a PH of 7.6
Has any on varied this? 800-423-7873 770-302-3400
Thanks
Are you a physician? Are you aware of the problems you can cause by acidifying or alkalizing your urine if you actually drink enough fluids with altered pH?
Your statement regarding the inability of the body to remain healthy if you intake acidic fluids....You should be careful what you say. The simplest of all problems, kidney stones, are highly affected by the pH of Urine. Certain stones form when you have acidic urine and certain types form in alkaline urine. Then there is also the issue of medication. Generally speaking, most medications tend to be weak acids which again mean they are affected by Urine pH if the medication is cleared renally.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful but you should add some disclaimers to your comments because you never know who will follow or misunderstand the statements you or anyone else makes on non-accreditted website/pages. FYI S. Pellegrino water also falls in the pH 7.7 category.
a ph level of 7 is neutral above that is alkaline, below that is acid. Here's a good resource: Healthy ph in the body
ps. it is far more common for folks to have a ph level that is too acid than too alkaline.
What do you mean when you say "Keep in mind that a pH of 8 and above is the only range that is beneficial to your good health"
So you are saying that only alkaline waters are beneficial to health..so I should only drink water with a ph level of 8 or above? I am so confused about water and the whole acidic/alkaline thing!!! help!!!

ph Levels in Bottled Water
Posted by Neva H.
How healthy is the bottled water you buy and how do you know which ones are best for your health?
I am a big proponent of filtered water and alkaline water, in particular. It can be very confusing, however, to choose between the dozens and dozens of types of bottled water out there. I got this email from Jim, over at Good Health Supplements, and he breaks it down easily by ph level.
The body functions best with a slightly alkaline ph level and cannot stay healthy in an overly-acid environment. Where does your favorite bottle water rank on the ph level scale below?

For those of you who are die-hard bottle water drinkers, I offer the following list of popular brands of bottled waters and their pH range. Keep in mind that a pH of 8 and above is the only range that is beneficial to your good health:
Water with a pH of 4.
Penta Water, Distilled Water, Purified Water, Aquafina (made by Pepsi), Dasani (made by Coke), Glaceau Fruit Water, Le Blue Water, Metro Mint Water, Pellegrino (made by Nestle), Perrier (made by Nestle), Smart Water, and Vitamin Water.
Water with a pH of 4.5.
Reverse Osmosis Water and Ice Age Glacial Water.
Water with a pH of 5.
Appalachian Springs Water and Poland Springs Water (made by Nestle)
Water with a pH of 5.5.
Crystal Springs Water, Dannon Spring Water, Pure American Water.
All of the above bottled waters have an acidic ph, which does not support health waters
Water with a pH of 7.
Arrowhead Water, Crystal Geyser Water, Deep Park Water (made by Nestle), Eldorado Springs Water, Supermarket Spring Water.
Water with a pH of 7.5.
Biota water, Fiji Water, Whole Foods 365 Water, Zephyrhills Water (made by Nestle)
Water with a pH of 7.9.
Eden Springs Water.
Water with a pH of 8.
Deep Rock Water, Evamore Water.
Water with a pH of 10
Filtered Ionized Alkaline Water you make with your own Water Ionizer.
The advantage of ionized alkaline water is two fold.
Cost: Less then 2 cents a day for all the water you can drink, high antioxidant, high alkaline and micro-clustered water for more available oxygen for energy.
Improve health, lose weight, and have more energy. Improve the environment as less then 10% of plastic water bottles make it to recycling.
Disclaimer: Please check with your doctor if on prescription medications as these may create different effects with alkaline water. Also, I personally use half and half, half alkaline water and half purified water. Be wise with your health and check with doctor if on any medications or if you have any kidney issues.
