QUESTION:  
Can magnetism, electrical energy, light energy, or special types of catalysts be used to create a specially clustered form of water that has health benefits?
ANSWER:  
No, such promotional gimmicks about special-structured water clusters, primarily on the Internet, are nothing but health quackery scams associated with a product common to everyone, drinking water. Much of this started with promotions on the healing benefits of treating water with magnetism and soon spread to other methods of treatment. A good reference to structured-water scams is retired chemistry professor Stephen K. Lower’s web page titled “Water Cluster Pseudoscience” (http://www.chem1.com/CQ/clusqk.html).
