I love Kangen Water for our overall health

Alkaline ionized water is good for your health, but
Scientific evidence is limited.
Alkaline ionized water has no established health effects.

I hear this a lot.
Certainly the existence of scientific evidence is considered important.

But we need to seriously consider what it means to have scientific evidence.
What seems useful may be useless.
Sometimes what seemed useless and ignored can be useful.

As mentioned earlier, the scientific evidence is often not available,
Very important for decision making.

Especially in matters of health, medicine, safety, and the environment.
Scientific evidence is the basis for evaluating the credibility of its claims and products

Information that is supported by scientific research is
Generally considered more reliable and trustworthy

However, scientific evidence is only one source of judgment.
Many other factors must also be considered

This may include cultural, ethical and economic aspects
In addition, because science itself is constantly evolving
New research may update previous findings.

Where scientific evidence exists,
Its claims are generally considered reliable

However, they are not always judged "trustworthy"!

The following points should be noted

Quality and quantity of research
Not all scientific studies are of equal quality and reliability
There is a significant difference in reliability between them if
◎If there are several small studies and
◎when corroborated by a large number of large, independent studies, vs.


peer review
And whether the research has been peer-reviewed by experts.
It is an important measure of their reliability.

established agreement
Is the particular claim widely accepted?
Or maybe there is still room for debate, that should be considered.

context
Scientific evidence is often only valid in specific contexts and conditions
You should consider whether the information is applicable to your own situation

False positive or false negative
By statistical chance or methodological flaw.
It is possible to come to the wrong conclusion.

Ongoing Research
Science is a work in progress.
New research can overturn existing understanding

Multifaceted evidence
Not just one study.
Evidence from many different angles was gathered.
Only then will a solid scientific consensus be formed.

Ethical and social aspects
Just because there's a scientific basis for it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
It is not ethically or socially acceptable.

In the absence of scientific evidence
If something should necessarily be deemed "incredible"
It's hard to say.

The fact that there is a lack of scientific evidence is
Although that assertion is not necessarily false.
Meaning it is not based on solid evidence.

Health and safety issues
When there is no scientific basis for a medical or health claim
Particular attention should be paid to

By relying on unconfirmed treatments and products.
You may lose access to established treatments

monetary cost
For products and services that lack scientific evidence.
Investing a large amount of money is considered risky

Personal beliefs and experiences
Some people, even those with scant scientific evidence
We may find its value based on personal experience and beliefs

But this should not be generalized

Ongoing Research
Even today, when there is a lack of scientific evidence for some claims.
It is possible that new studies will prove its usefulness in the future.

Traditional knowledge and culture
Areas where scientific research has not yet caught up or
There are also traditional methods with a long history

These are not necessarily because of a lack of scientific evidence.
Not necessarily worthless.

In the end, though, the presence or absence of scientific evidence can be a determining factor,
That doesn't mean it's black and white material.

Why do we have feelings?
Why do we have desires?
Why do we have instincts?
Please provide the scientific basis for this.

How would you respond if asked
Even if you can't show scientific evidence.

You have feelings, don't you?
You have desires, don't you?
Instinct is inherent, isn't it?

Is there a scientific explanation for this?
There's the fact that emotions, desires, and instincts exist.
Why it exists is not explained.

also be ...

Without such a method of decision-making
Misjudging the useful as useless and truncating it.
It means that you will have to make such a loss.

That is not to say that we should judge alkaline ionized water to be healthy.
Don't get me wrong.

When making that decision, you need to analyze the results from multiple perspectives and synthesize the results.
You must make your own decision.

Of course, I don't expect you to be able to do all the experiments and make all the decisions.
Even I do.
At that time, we need to gather various opinions and information for reference!

There is no such thing as a 100% error-free decision.
There is no such thing as 100% judgment in this world.
Except God.

Therefore, we strive to make our decisions as close to 100% accurate as possible.
Then we can make a decision.

I look forward to good decisions.
