Scientific Investigation on Alkaline Water versus Common Water
By Sang Whang
MBC, a South Korean TV network, launched several scientific investigations on the effects of
alkaline water on chicks and mice. Their research is shown on the Internet Website
“youtube,” and search for “Alkalark”. The narration is in Korean with English subtitles. Below
is a summary of the video.
The MBC investigation team prepared an unusual experiment using 40,000 chicks. The team
separated the chicks in two groups, 20,000 each and put them in two separate farm
buildings, A and B.
These chicks were raised for one month and given the same amount of feed, but the
drinking water supplied was different. The group in building A was supplied with normal
ground water, the group in building B was supplied with alkaline water made by minerals
added to the water, including magnesium. Alkaline water is known to have reducing power
to get rid of excess acidic wastes created by human metabolism.
Though a cold wave of bird flu hit the country, the chicks here seemed to all be healthy and
full of energy.
The team wanted to know what the difference between the two groups was as the result of
drinking ordinary water and alkaline water.
First, they inspected the survival rate:
Building A (ground water): 18,900 survived in 30 days: (94.5% survival rate.)
Building B (alkaline water): 19,860 survived in 30 days: (99.3% survival rate.)
The mortality rate of chickens drinking alkaline water is about 1/8 of the ones drinking
ordinary ground water.
Next, the team randomly selected 100 chickens from each group and measured the average
weight.
Alkaline water group: 1720g, ground water group: 1590g.

For the next experiment, the MBC team used OlletTF mice which develop diabetes due to
genetic obesity. 16 mice were divided into two groups; again, one with general water and
the other with alkaline water, but with the same feed. At the beginning, the mean bloodsugar
levels of these mice were 69 and 53.
For the next two months the team collected blood samples; levels of blood sugar, neutral
fat, and cholesterol were checked regularly. As these mice raise blood-sugar genetically, the
key point of this experiment is how much alkaline water influences the increase of blood
sugar level.
