Quote "alternative" health market is full of goofy products which
purport to alter the structure of water by stabilizing groups of H2O
molecules into permanent clusters of 4-8 molecules, or alternatively,
to break up what they claim are the larger clusters (usually 10-15
molecules) that they say normally exist in water". end Quote

I was demonstrating my membrane osmosis houseplant watering technology
at an inventors show a couple of years back and was approached by a
woman who tried to convince me of the benefits of this new "healthier"
water - for plants. She even tried to get me to drink! I did a bit of
research and found that the water was just passed through a ceramic
filter which they claimed was polarised or magnetised or similar - thus
imparting similar properties to the water. I'm a chemist and work with
hydrogels so know a bit about water structures. The claims were
nonsense and the company behind this particular water were really
promoting a type of pyramid selling scheme.

Anyways - If yer tap water's no good just use some good, healthy
Scottish mineral water ;-) Chris
