I would not pretend to tell you what you should or should not do. Entirely coincidental as a friend was on me and going on and on about alkaline water and its benefits yadda yadda yadda. This was one he brought up but I will say he is full of brilliant ideas and great investing tips but has yet to make a penny on any of them. He sent me a link to alkabest and thought I would include it because there are two sides here...the bottled side and the machine side which is an interesting dichotomy. Going to be hard to break Americans of their one gallon a week of soda they drink and get kids to switch to water when it is as near and as easy as turning on the tap.
