H2HUBB TAKEAWAY
In a prospective observation of 320 people with diabetes drinking up to about 2 L/day of Nordenau reduced water, 236 participants (73.8%) were classified as responders by blood-glucose/HbA1c criteria. The uncontrolled design prevents attributing the changes specifically to hydrogen.
What the Findings Mean
The observations are consistent with a potentially favorable metabolic effect of reduced water but are not a randomized or blinded test and cannot isolate molecular hydrogen from other features of the intervention or setting.
What the Researchers Studied
Participants with diabetes drank natural reduced water during an average six-day stay. Blood glucose, HbA1c, lipids, potassium, and, in a 50-person subsample, reactive oxygen species were measured.
What Effects Did Molecular Hydrogen Have?
The report classified 236 of 320 participants as responders based on glucose and HbA1c changes; the 50-person ROS subsample showed a similar responder proportion and reported relationships between glycemic changes and ROS fluctuation.
Why These Findings Matter
The observations are consistent with a potentially favorable metabolic effect of reduced water but are not a randomized or blinded test and cannot isolate molecular hydrogen from other features of the intervention or setting.
How Strong Is This Evidence?
Prospective human observational study without randomized control.
Technical Study Details
Model: Adults with diabetes drinking Nordenau reduced spring water
Sample: 320 patients with diabetes; 176 women and 144 men
DOI: 10.1007/1-4020-4457-7_51
Limitations and Safety
Limitations: No randomized control group, short average stay, possible regression to the mean and concurrent lifestyle/context changes, and uncertain contribution of molecular hydrogen versus other water characteristics.
Safety: The abstract does not provide a systematic adverse-event analysis.
