I first heard about distilled water from my grandpa what a smart guy love you gramps!
Please memember that I am doing this with the intention of my teksyndicate friends having the best and healthiest smooth tasting water to drink Thank you :)
Drinking distilled or demineralized water is not good for you at all. When water has all of it's minerals/electrolytes removed it becomes hypotonic. Consuming hypotonic solutions causes your body to actually dehydrate and lose fluids and electrolytes.
What I'm stating is fact. It's nice that you provide a couple internet links, but you can't argue with science. Tonicity and how solutes and fluids react is very basic science.
Thanks for that beezleybuzz yes I've heard of that happening to some people who drank only distilled water the mistake that they made is that they do not replace there electrolytes by eating fruits and those sort of things.
Here are some quotes
"The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals. All other types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be eliminated. Distilled water is the only water that can be taken into the body without damage to the tissues."
---Dr. Allen E. Banik, M.D., who spent much of his life researching the effects of water on the human body reported this in his publication The Choice Is Clear
I think I see some confusion with people because they do not regonize that there are 2 different type's of minerals
one for plants, and one for us
The type of minerals you get from springs water are in-organic minerals because they fell onto the dirt and picked it up.
can you eat dirt?
is that something your body can use?
NO, only plants use those minerals and turn it into fruit or vetables with organic living minerals.
