Not the same, but similar:
The pH Miracle for Diabetes — "Doctor" Robert O. Young 🙄
I agree with @mikeyB; anyone can claim whatever they like, but that doesn't make it true. Anecdotes do not constitute scientific evidence, as all the rubbish spouted by nutcases about artificial sweeteners demonstrates.

Oh I quite agree Robert. I wouldn't even go looking for miracles in Lourdes and you couldn't flog me a glass of water in a parched desert but I've been doing a lot of reading and research. I agree nothing is conclusive and there's a dearth of scientific evidence (but that's the case of lots of things that can have individual benefits).
If it has some effect on the wind my hubbie will be a convert and anything else would be an added benefit. And if all else fails, it's a kitchen ingredient so nothing ventured, nothing gained!
However, I can't see me becoming addicted. Have you tasted the stuff! 😱😱

I'll tell you a true story about artificial sweeteners, Robert.
When I was a student, I spent a couple of very enjoyable summers working in an electroplating factory. One of the things we chrome plated were the reflectors on Baxi Bermuda gas fires, if you remember those. This was done in a bath of boiling chromate solution, 1200 gallons of it. The long reflectors were quite thin and bendy steel. If you pulled out the reflectors after plating, and bent them while hot, the chrome plate cracked and flaked. The way to prevent this was to stick the contents of a 2kg bag of white powder into the chromate bath. With this, the hot plated metal could be bent and flexed without a sign of cracking.
What was this magic powder? Saccharin. The foreman used to put it in his tea.
