Re: The distilled water is healthy myth part 3

 Wish water was water :-))

If you want to make it easy look at it this way.  Mankind has been drinking water ever since we have been on this planet.  We did not always have distillers, alkalinizers, etc.  What we did have all along is mineralized water as Nature made it and has always done well for us.

Nature does not provide us with distilled water.  As the water falls it will saturate with various compounds it comes in with including gases and minerals from dust.  When it hits the ground it further reacts with minerals.  So we have always drunk mineralized, not distilled water, and we have flourished on this planet.

All of this garbage of making water alkaline through electrolysis, pure through R/O or distillation, clustered, etc. is just that, garbage.  We are not smarter than Nature.  And trying to outsmart Nature just creates more problems.  Look at the drug manufacturers trying to outsmart Nature by isolating individual compounds from plants, which results in all sorts of side effects that we do not get from the plants.  Water is no different.  Drink purified waters and we throw off electrolytes and rob the body of nutrition. Drink alkalinized water and we neutralize the stomach acid leading to whole host of problems as well as loading the body up with caustic hydroxides that are some of the strongest free radicals known.

As far as some people drinking distilled water and not being deficient in minerals.  Keep in mind that they are likely also ingesting a lot of minerals from other sources including food, supplements and herbs.  This still does not make the drinking of distilled water healthy.
