Alkaline water is a scam. The water is not able to overcome the acidity of stomach acid. Foods have similar effect. The stomach excretes more acid to restore acidity.

Some alkaline foods may have other impacts on the body, not due to their alkalinity but due to some other character of the food.

I looked into this fad because my wife was buying alkaline water.

The body's pH is very narrowly regulated. Very slight changes can cause life threatening issues. A blood pH of 7.41 is normal. 7.42 and above and 7.40 and below cause problems. If this range is not maintained, some bodily system is not functioning properly.
