| Alkaline Water Ionizers are fairly new in the USA but their promising ability to address many health issues has made them a hot and somewhat controversial topic. Many years of advanced medical and scientific research mainly in overseas countries like Japan has produced these high quality machines that are classified as "medical devices" in those nations. With the ever increasing health problems like obesity and diabetes and heart disease in the US people are now looking into potential antioxidant abilities of alkaline ionized water.{{Fact}} | |

| More Americans than ever before are suffering from diabetes, with the number of new cases averaging almost 800,000 each year. The disease has steadily increased in the United States since 1980, and in 1998, 16 million Americans were diagnosed with diabetes (10.3 million diagnosed; 5.4 million undiagnosed). Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and more than 193,000 died from the disease and its related complication in 1996.{{Fact}}

| One important fact and source of confusion about alkaline water ionizers is the type of water they make. This water is called alkaline ionized water, yet it is confused with alkaline water. The difference is that any water above a pH of 7.0 is considered alkaline, and thus alkaline water. Alkaline ionized water on the other hand is the water that is made by electrolysis, the process which occurs in water ionizer machines.{{Fact}}

Alkaline water ionizers (also called simply water ionizers or alkaline ionizers) are devices which are promoted with unfounded claims to address many health issues. The claims made are not based on good evidence, and often contradict laws of chemistry and known principles of physiology.
