Effects of drinking slightly acidic electrolyzed water on the growth health, blood physiology, and intestinal development in mice.

Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) as a disinfectant might be ingested by humans and animals along with food and drinking water. The present study explored whether adding SAEW to drinking water affects the drinking water intake, food intake, body weight, intestinal morphology, digestive enzyme activity, and antioxidant enzyme activity of mice. This will provide a theoretical basis for the biosafety of SAEW as a food and drinking water disinfectant.
