### [Alkaline water and pH](/c/ph)

MechanismSPECULATIVEOutcomeNONE

Claimed

Cancer thrives in acid; alkaline water makes the body inhospitable to it.

What holds up

Tumor microenvironments really are acidic, but blood pH is tightly regulated regardless of what you drink.

What it does not show

Bottled alkaline water does not reach the tumor; the research direction (oral bicarbonate) is not the consumer product.

Evidence for

Tumor alkalization therapy review, Frontiers in Oncology 2024, Plasma-activated water mouse study, Applied Physics Letters 2022 (previously miscited as AIP Advances)
