Acid Water and Diabetes

Study Shows Type 1 Diabetes Can Be Caused by Acidic Water

Researchers in Norway condusted a study that examined households with 64 cases of Type 1 Diabetes and 250 randomly selected control subjects. Tap water with pH in the range of 6.2 to 6.9 was associated with a fourfold higher risk of Type 1 Diabetes compared with water with a pH in the range of 7.7 and higher. The conclusion that the results suggested is the poosibility that the quality of dirnking water influences the risk of Type 1 Diabetes.

The study also concluded that even though the possible mechanisms by which water acididty or mineral content may be involved in the etiology of Type 1 Diabetes remain unknown, the mechanisms are most likely indirect and may invole an influence on survival of microorganisms in the water.
