The only good thing about these best, alkaline water sources is their taste and purity.

There is nothing special about alkaline.

I would suggest that you ditch this alkaline idea.

Get these scientists you're going to work with to research water taste. Good tasting water can wasily fit the hype of "good water". Maybe the smell (chlorine smells is bad), maybe the colour (very slight bluish tinge may infer a "clean" image.) Shit like that. It doesn't have to be actual changes to water. Maybe some light tricks to the container of the water could manifest such illusion without actually do anything to the water that has a potential of some lawsuits.

For purity, just devise some generic filtration system and youre good to go. Or just make a reverse osmosis machine, then have the machine do something about the taste later.

The rest, do whatever marketing gimmicks you want.

But, if youre looking to make something revolutionary, something that could cure cancer (or ambitious shit like that), out of plain water, youre out of luck.

Not the best water based on my understanding. But feel free to post some real science here substantiating your belief.

"Real science" is laid bare in the internet with plenty of conflicting interests at play here. The rest boils down the anecdotes. And I trust my own anecdotes.

there is no best water. safe for drinking is definitely boiled water which is efficient.

i have been workiing with de-ionized water for the past 15 years. Touted to be the cleanest purest water available. Definitely not for drinking, this i can tell u .

You might want to switch to mineral water for a few months and see the difference. No need to thank me for this.

What are you working as again? Sounds interesting to me.

Sounds like what TS wants to do is let you all do the work, while he makes all the money.

If you have the idea in the first place.

If the science works, the anecdotal evidence will come in too. You can work from that end of the spectrum, while I work from this end, or start from both ends, it's the same.

If you have the idea in the first place.

So I'm right?

I do agree with your comments by the way.

And would be interesting to hear a professional's explanation on why de-ionized water is not for drinking, please elaborate

de-ionized water is hungry water. long story short, its sucks up both the good and bad. it doesnt know which is good and which is bad, its hungry and just takes in everything.

imagine if it goes in your body, good and bad both being charged into the water, so u might end up with nothing or u might end up with more of the good or the bad perhaps ?

Links to papers that talk about this?

if via WHO, there are some published papers, but u'll need to go thru scores of them. u can find it on WHO's website for de-ionized and health benefits.
