The AP Chemistry and AP Biology classes presented to an Investment Banker a due diligence report on the claims made by the company that produces Alkaline88 Water.
The AP Chemistry students tested the Alkaline88 Water against tap, Dasani, and Aquafina to determine if the company’s claim of their water being alkaline and different from the pH of other brands was valid. Their findings indicated that the water did have the highest pH and was the most alkaline of the group tested. But, all of the waters tested were alkaline.
The AP Bio students tested the effects of Alkaline88 water on the acids in the stomach and researched possible positive or negative health effects of drinking alkaline water.
Their findings indicated that the Alkaline88 water caused a small change in the pH of hydrochloric acid, the acid found in the stomach. A change in the pH of the stomach acid could possibly be detrimental to the activity of the digestive enzymes in the stomach.
The research as to the health effects of an alkaline water was inconclusive. No definite benefits were found and no negative effects were reported when ordinary amounts of alkaline water were consumed.
