This alkaline ion water product has calcium carbonate, tourmaline from Brazil, and some other magical ingredients that have a slimming effect when dissolved in tap water. All you have to do is ingest 1.5 liters of it a day--in coffee, for cooking rice, for drinking water--and the components will eliminate extra fat, increase metabolism, and burn calories.
Apparently, it's pretty popular in Taiwan. If anyone's tried it, let me know if it works!

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Ingesting water with a high mineral (esp. magnesium) content will give you diarrhea. You're better off just exercising and drinking regular water.
The calcium carbonate isn't much more than plain old calcium like in oyster shells or milk. You'll only absorb part of it and you'll lose many more other minerals by shitting yourself silly all day.
