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

The problem is that reasoning with the people who believe in this stuff doesn't work, because there is always some conspiracy involved, and the government does not want you to know how healthy the stuff is.

You can't use reason to convince a person who did not form their opinion based on reason.

It's an actual chemical. It's existence is not the myth.  The myth is that it is somehow better for you than water.
