'Free radical' is a term applied a number of molecules and how they interact on a chemical level with other compounds in your body. I'd rather not get into the exact biochemistry at the moment since I'm currently cooking dinner and I've already been in my lab enough today.Water doesn't 'neutralize' them in any way. Certain other molecules can (antioxidants in general) but they themselves in overly large amounts (such as too much vitamin E) can cause problems.Good to hear <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Acupuncture works on some things, somewhat, but not for -any- of the reasons claimed by traditional chinese medicine.Extra water is neither good nor bad, it's just not a cure all. And there is a thing as too much water actually since it can screw up the osmotic balance of your body if you drink way way too much water. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
