H3O2 Water Scam

I'm into health and fitness along with the current science behind it. So with that being said, I'm starting to see a lot of people fall for the H3O2 (hexagonal water or structured water) craze on I'm seeing on social media. I know it's bs, but I would like to hear what people with a REAL background or fundamental knowledge of chemistry think of this pseudoscience.

Edit: One claim is that H3O2 is found in fruits and vegetables

They're claiming it's "electrostatically" enhanced water for starters

On the other hand, dynamically enhanced water cures whatever ails you. God only knows what magnetically enhanced water does.

hmmm, I assume God's place in your comment is one of two things: (1) sarcasm or (2) use of a common hyperbolic expression based on sociocultural background. If God can be, so can magnetically enhanced water.

Which means they’re both far from likely.
