Is it true that drinking hydrogen-rich water provides measurable health benefits in humans?
Unclear. The placed evidence covers only narrow outcomes: a meta-analysis reports improved blood lipid status with hydrogen-rich water, and a small randomized trial in type 2 diabetics found improved insulin resistance only in patients with deteriorated parameters. Animal studies suggest antioxidant and wound-healing effects, but no item establishes broad measurable health benefits in humans.
