I agree. It is so fundamental that there must have been some work on it. I worked offshore for a couple of years in the Persian Gulf, and distillation was the source of our drinking water. Amerada Hess Oil Company had this operation, and they were concerned about leaching, and reinjected minerals into the distilled water. I wasn't close to that decision, and it is awhile ago. I have done a few searches, without significant result. I will do some more looking, and will share what I find.

Devour <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, May 17, 1998 11:19 AM Subject: Distilled water Jim, Dameon, and anyone else who's interested, I can at least speculate a mechanism where distilled water might not be the best thing going under certain circumstances. Most of what's in the world is soluble in water at least to some extent. <grin> If you drink some distilled water, osmosis will take place until some equilibrium is reached between what's going on in your tissues and the water you've added to your system. Some minerals from your body will end up "dissolved" in the additional water. *IF* you have a diet strongly deficient in a given trace mineral, wouldn't it gradually be diluted and depleted from your tissues to some fairly low level? After time your body would become as barren as the soil in which your food is grown. This assumes, of course, that your tap water normally contains enough of the same trace mineral to help the body obtain and retain it. This is simple-minded speculation on my part. I don't have a good gut feeling one way or another on whether distilled water is bad/good for you, or under which circumstances it's even important. I think we've seen some good comments on both sides of the issue. Be well, Mike D.
