I have heard people say that "Hexagonal Water" is just a marketing scam. I spent a few hours looking into this, and I learned there are many books written on the subject. These books were written by scientists and doctors that devoted decades to studying and writing about structured water. They were NOT involved in marketing or sales. I have listed two books on this page that were written by doctors who do endorse a particular type of water made with a medical device used in hospitals, but the leading books (written by those who spent the most time researching and writing about structured water) were written by people who had no affiliation with a particular company.
What is Hexagonal/Structured Water? (Definition and photo from this page at HexagonalWater.com)
The most most stable structure of liquid water is a crystalline geometric structure formed by eight water molecules (the Star Tetrahedron or Kepler's Star). From a profile view it’s form can be seen to be the shape of a perfect hexagon. This specific geometry produces an effect called ‘molecular coherence’. Molecular coherence amplifies water’s natural abilities to archive and transfer information, similar to quartz crystal used in computers and watches.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The leading expert on the subject, Dr. Mu Shik Jhon, spent forty years studying structured water. My question is, why would someone spend that long learning about and writing about hexagonal water if there wasn't anything to it? If these people truly were scammers, it seems to me that their time would be better spent trying to scam people, and make money, than doing actual research.
The Water Puzzle and The Hexagonal Key by Dr. Mu Shik Jhon
His bio was taken from this page at www.HexagonalWater.com:
Dr Jhon is the worlds leading authority on water science. His last book “The Water Puzzle and the Hexagonal Key”, summarizes over 40 years of scientific research, documenting the structural qualities of water.
In this book, now translated in five languages, the author presents scientific evidence showing that the hexagonal structure of water, is preferred by all biological organisms - that it is involved in the healthy function of the DNA, enzyme reactions and numerous metabolic functions.
In 1986 Dr Jhon officially presented his theory "Molecular Water Environment".
He found that the reinstatement of hexagonal water in our body can improve vitality, retard aging and prevent disease. The process of aging is also a function of a body's loss of hexagonal water from it's cells.

Miracle Molecular Structure of Water by Dr. Yang Oh & Dr. Gil Ho Kim
Bios From this page:
According to Dr. Yang Oh and Gil-Ho Kim, water possesses differing molecular structures, and the kind of water you drink may relate to bodily dysfunction and disease. Basing their work on the research of Dr. Mu Shik Jhon, the authors conclude that the three different molecular structures of water identified in this book have varied affects on the body. They even point to evidence that seems to indicate abnormal water structure could be related to the abnormal cellular activity that results in cancer and diabetes. Their conclusion: The hexagonal structure of water is the one that promotes health and increases longevity.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS: A native of Korea, Dr. Yang H. Oh holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard Medical School. He is retired from a professorship at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He is currently Director General of his own YHO Bio-Science R/D Center in Houston and also in Korea.

About the book:
Professor Pollack takes us on a fantastic voyage through water, showing us a hidden universe teeming with physical activity-- providing simple explanations for common everyday phenomena, which you have inevitably seen but not really understood.
Amazingly, Pollack and colleagues at his University of Washington laboratory have discovered that water is NOT always H2O. When touching most surfaces, water transforms itself into so-called Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water, also known as Structured Water or Fourth Phase Water.
EZ water, whose formula is H3O2, differs dramatically from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.
EZ water, whose formula is H3O2, differs dramatically from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.
Pollack writes in a clear, eloquent style. Whimsical illustrations and simple diagrams help get his points across in a reader-friendly manner perfectly suitable for non-experts.
The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor won the "Distinguished Award" from the Society for Technical Communication, their highest accolade.

Dancing with Water: The New Science of Water by M.J. Pangman, M.S., and Melanie Evans
(Note this is the second book on this page that is authored by MJ Pangman)
MJ Pangman is an author and speaker in the field of complementary medicine.

MJ’s background in the natural sciences gives her an understanding of chemistry, biology, and quantum physics; her ability to explain the complex in simple terms makes her writing easy and enjoyable to read.
Melanie Evans:
Some of Melanie’s earliest childhood memories are of connecting with the Earth’s elements and to the natural systems that maintain balance on the planet. She remembers being at the ocean as a 3-year-old and of understanding the life force held there. Even at that age, she experienced a “knowing” that the ocean was the origin of life. Melanie has always lived close to a body of water. She has spent many hours “listening”—merging with water in a way similar to the way Viktor Schauberger described merging with water’s consciousness in the Austrian forest. To Melanie, water is a kindred spirit; it is our connection with Spirit and our pathway to higher consciousness.
Melanie uses her intuitive abilities as a practitioner in the healing arts. This has provided many opportunities for her to witness the interplay between the forces in nature and human biology. She can’t wait to have others join her in the “dance” she has always danced with water.
Please feel free to check out these books and draw your own conclusions as to whether or not you feel there is any real merit to structured water. It seems pretty valid to me, but you're going to have to decide for yourself. >
I think the Ultimate test will be to drink the water yourself. The proof really is in the water. If you are going to do this, please be sure to only drink water that came from the type of machine that is used in hospitals. The people who are distributors of these machines will be more than happy to share their water with you.
