Scientific evidence
[edit]There is no scientific evidence for this therapy according to the dutch Association Against Quackery:

Hence it is considered quackery. Walnoot (talk) 03:07, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Walnoot, that source is two years old, and there have been publications since then.
- Also, lots of things have "no evidence" without actually being quackery. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:57, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
- The Dutch article is about Hydrogen Water, and the very expensive machines you can buy for the miracle cure qualities. Regardless of what the truth is about hydrogen therapy, I would say that hydrogen water looks like snake oil. If molecular hydrogen has therapeutic benefits, that does not mean those benefits can be realised by drinking water in which there has been a very small amount of catalytic cracking. But if there is a subject here for molecular hydrogen, the article is going to need to be written around secondary sources. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:12, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Human clinical trials are cited to peer-reviewed journal articles in the wikipedia article in contrast to the false claim by the Dutch Association Against Quackary that "There are no patient studies" showing a positive health effect.--Ben Best:Talk 19:36, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
