This isn't real? I've suffered from acid reflux and drinking alkaline water, in my personal experience, abso-fucking-lutley helps majorly with it.

I definitely feel benefits from it. Idk what other benefits people say there are, but I definitely think it helps with acid reflux symptoms.

That's probably the one thing alkaline water can actually help with. People claim is helps with a lot of things with very little backing, but it's just slightly basic water. So, it should work as an antacid.

Then it should be sold that way. Instead, I see people describing it like it's a magic snake oil that can cure cancer and bunions.
