2005 Refutes Long-term consumption of oxygenated water has no apparent harmful effect on the liver, blood
and the immune system. Moreover it leads to a transient moderate increase of oxygen radicals
Blood generation of oxygen radicals: a in the blood. An interesting observation is the increase of the Th1/Th2-ratio in the Verum
Liver prospective, randomised, blinded clinical group, whereas in both groups T-cell activation after mitogen stimulation, the soluble IL-2
study receptor, the CD4+ and the naïve CD4+CD45RA+ cells increased.

Blood The generation of oxygen radicals after

drinking of oxygenated water.
2002 Inconclusive Neutral
Drinking of oxygenated water possibly leads to a time-limited, yet very moderate, systemic
generation of radicals. Regular consumption of oxygenated water over a longer period of time
seems to attenuate this effect. The mechanisms leading to this effect and adaptation are
unknown.

genotoxic effects in the comet assay.

FPG post-treatment did not provide evidence for a genotoxic effect of oxygenated water.
