Can Alkaline Water Help Fight Type 1 Diabetes?

A 2011 study in Japan found that alkaline water may help protect the pancreas and reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes. The researchers used a cell culture model to mimic the effects of type 1 diabetes and treated the cells with different types of alkaline water. The results were promising, with the alkaline water reducing damage to the pancreas cells and cell death. While more studies are needed, drinking alkaline water may be a useful addition to your daily routine.
