A member asked:
Are there any side effects of drinking too alkaline water of ph level 9 or 10 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The pH in you stomach is about 1.5. You have hydrochloric acid in your stomach secreted by the parietal cells which destroy most microbes that you might swallow on food. It will raise the pH slightly for a short time and then as more HCl is secreted into the stomach the pH drops again.
