Tag: Fat loss myth

Despite popular claims, scientific evidence confirms that drinking alkaline water does not directly break down fat in the human body. The powerful, fat-dissolving chemical process known as saponification, which uses strong alkaline agents, is entirely different from what happens inside your digestive system.

A 2014 study in the *Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition* found no significant difference in fat loss between exercising in a fasted versus a fed state when total caloric intake was controlled. This conflicts with the popular belief on Reddit that fasted cardio is superior for burning fat.
