People often ask me about the effect of ionized alkaline water on bacteria in the mouth. Frankly, I have had no idea until now, but at last I have found a bit of science that assists. Here it is:
Antibacterial effect of electrolyzed water on oral
bacteria', by Lee SH and Choi BK:
"The electrolyzed tap water was put in contact
with five major periodontopathogens or toothbrushes contaminated
with these bacteria for 30 sec.
In addition, the water was used as a mouthwash for 30 sec in 16
subjects and theantibacterial effect on salivary bacteria was
evaluated. Ionized water significantly reduced the growth of
all periodontopathogens in culture and on toothbrushes,
and that of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria
in saliva, when compared to the effect of tap water."
