The woman in this video spent five hundred dollars on a machine that supposedly returns drinking water water to a more natural form.

Just as the devil can cite scripture for his own purpose, scam artists sometimes use the scientific literature to back up their specious claims. In this case, they state that water molecules can arrange themselves into a structured or hexagonal configuration, which makes it easier to absorb and healthier.

Some of the con artists have even pointed to the research of the late Mu Shik Jhon, a researcher who used Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy to study the structure of water molecules.

Paul Shin, a chemist, NMR expert, and friend of mine, used the same type of instrument to show that ‘structured water’ products are indistinguishable from ultrapure water or human urine.
