No. Hydrogen peroxide pH is only about 5.8, which is no more acidic
than water exposed to CO2 in normal air. Also, there isn't much
peroxide in the water, and what there is, is quickly broken down by
catalase in the digestive tract. As to the carcinogenicity of H2O2
itself, too little is known to say. Much more powerful stuff is sold as
mouthwash, however.

Doubtful no direct benefit. It's beneficial to have all the viruses and
bacterial killed without chlorine, though.

No, but much of the ozone will be released, or else react with the
water.

See above.

Google it.
