The water is no longer distilled, true. But will it contain the trace
minerals
that it leaches? No it will not, since the trace minerals it leaches
are in
the
blood and bone. Thus it will still be able to dissolve those trace
minerals
until
it reaches saturation. At any rate it doesn't matter. Lets say that it
does find
sufficient calcium in the spit and stomach to reach saturation. It then
leaves
with them when you urinate. The body has lost the calcium, it really
doesn't
matter exactly from where. To replace it requires taking supplements, or
the body will end up stripping it from the bones.
Look at it like this. You have a jug of lime. If you pour water into the
jug
that is already saturated with calcium, the lime will not dissolve, you
could do
it for 100 years. But if you pour in distilled water, the water in the jug
will
be diluted below saturation, lime will dissolve and wash away. One could
argue
that the water is not distilled as soon as it hits the water that is
sitting
in
the lime, but it makes no difference. The same amount of lime will be
removed per
liter of water regardless.
Have you ever noticed that if you lime the yard, that watering it from the
tap
seems to do nothing, but it will dissolve when it rains? Rain water is
basically
distilled, so it easily leaches the lime, but water from the tap already has
sufficient minerals usually that the lime dissolves slowly if at all.

Marshall: Sound pretty simple to me. Fred? Are you there? Hello Freddyboy??
Must have gone out to buy some Poland Spring. Roger
Marshall AND Roger,
No, I am not a lawn! I am a perfectly designed chemical processing unit which
can take in pure water, which serves to dilute my blood and thus free my heart
from the heavy load it has, and my many body organs will discharge any excess
water or minerals as it sees fit. I am not being leached! I am programmed to
have specific solution densities and with proper supplies will maintain to very
precise ratios, those fluid/mineral relationships!
Externally, where I have no pre-programmed chemical relationships, I can be
leached of surface minerals but internally, I can not! Interstitial/cell
water, my
primary need, is not a random leached mix put a specific blend of the basic
salts needed for my cell functions! I make that mix, it is not a function
of the
purity of the water I take in. Also, as Terry said most of my chemicals are
bound in such a way that they are not leachable (water soluable) - see how
long it takes to dissolve your bones or skin in DW! Pepsi YES DW NO!
No, I am not a tea bag to be drained of my essentials when I take water of any
purity in! My calcium is not leached from my bones because of my water intake,
but is often lost because of my lack of water intake!
My brain must function at all costs! I have and need ATP and GTP and also
hydroelectric energy reserves and when I do not get enough water I must break
the calcium to calcium bond in cells and eventually in bones, to makeup for the
energy shortage! Breaking the calcium-calcium bond releases ATP and thus cell
or bone calcium is the source of choice when my brain has a shortage of energy.
Without that reserve function I would die (brain function failure) under many
common stress situations! The calcium released is discharged normally, as
excess free calcium BUT it was NOT released by leaching!
My pee is not the leached effect of my water intake but the evidence of my
excess
intake - it is strong only when I take in too little water and my
necessary water
borrowing concentrates it!
Look at the normal water you drink, on average 200 PPM! Is that saturated? NO!
My pool has 850PPM, is that saturated? NO! Can I dissolve table salt to 8,000
PPM? YES! What is this "leaching to saturated levels" problem you have, with my
drinking pure water instead of very, very slightly saturated water?
Try again guys, but listen to Terry - try to dissolve a bone in DW!
(Disclaimer - I am not an expert in this area, so when I say liver and you say
kidney, don't fault me - the expressed functions happen in my body, where
ever!)
