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.
