Hello Terry,

 

Controversy always seems to shroud distilled water through the years. The same

old myths and fallacies that were once heard ten to fifteen years ago still

continue today. All the misconceptions about distillation and distilled water

are grossly misrepresented.

" Distillation takes out all the beneficial minerals "

This is a statement used countless times, usually from literature from some

filter companies trying to tell you in effect, that their filters take out all

the bad contaminants, but leave in the good, beneficial minerals. Fortunately,

there are many reputable companies who would never think of making this kind of

claim in its ads. Distillation will kill and remove bacteria, viruses, cysts, as

well as, heavy metals, radionuclides, organics, inorganics, and particulates.

And yes, it will remove minerals, which fall under inorganic contaminants.

Whether the minerals in water are beneficial or useless has been an ongoing

debate.

 

All of our minerals are derived from our food: fresh fruits, vegetables, meat,

poultry, grains, nuts, and dairy products. The minerals in water are so scant

that in Boston, MA for example, one would have to drink 676 8-ounce glasses of

tap water to obtain the Recommended Daily Allowance ( RDA) of calcium.

 

That person would have to drink 1,848 8-ounce glasses to get RDA of magnesium,

848 8-ounce glasses to get RDA of iron, and 168,960 8-ounce glasses to obtain

the RDA of phosphorus.

 

It seems insane to even think about drinking that much water. Most people can't

even drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day that is widely touted by

health experts.

 

" Distilled Water leaches minerals from your body "

What the proponents of this statement want you to believe is that because

distilled water is so pure, drinking it will leach minerals from your body,

thereby robbing you of good health and nutrition. There is no basis of fact to

document this claim. The national best-selling health and diet book, : " Fit for

Life II: Living Health " by Harvey & Marilyn Diamond, answers this question. The

following is an excerpt: " Distilled water has an inherent quality. Acting almost

like a magnet, it picks up rejected, discarded, and unusable minerals and,

assisted by the blood and the lymph, carries them to the lungs and kidneys for

elimination from the body. The statement that distilled water leaches minerals

from the body has no basis in fact. It doesn't leach out minerals that have

become part of the cell structure. It can't and won't. It collects only minerals

that have already been rejected or excreted by the cells... To suggest that

distilled water takes up minerals from foods so that the body derives no benefit

from them is absurd. "
