These people sell barely-regulated supplements such as this extremely normal "hydrogen water": https://shop.momsacrossamerica.com/collections/health-soluti...

> An additional benefit is that H2 Elite generates an electron-rich potential (-ORP) in the water (you can measure it!). This rare property is uniquely found in fresh, raw living foods and juices, mothers milk and many of the world’s healing waters.

And this extremely safe "Restore". https://shop.momsacrossamerica.com/collections/health-soluti...

What's in it? "it is a carbon-rich, alkaline liquid, with lignite-derived trace organics and essential trace amino acids". Mmm, lignite-derived organics. I think this is just water.



I love that they claim completely unspecified "health benefits" of -ORP (but "not on the scale of molecular hydrogen) while deriding the previous claims of also unspecified "health benefits" from pH of water (high pH or low pH?).

And that the ingredients list in the text doesn't match the ingredients list in the image of the bottle.


> What is Molecular Hydrogen, H2? > Hydrogen is the first and most abundant element in the Universe!

So let us sell you some for low cost of $60!

Is this a new way of selling snow to Eskimo?


Legend has it that adding more H2 to your H2O turns it into H3O, which decreases the pH of the water to match the acidic nature of your stomach! /s

But seriously, these kinds of “truth blogs” do more harm and spread FUD that undermines public support for environmentally beneficial food sources.
