To interested list members.
Without attempting to generate adversarial
dialog, I feel constrained to make a comment on the "urban legend"
claiming distilled water "leaches" minerals from body tissues. Such
contentions appear to be at variance not only with a majority of
documented research----but with common sense. Although water is
considered the universal solvent, and will, indeed, transport entrained
substances, I know of no instance where distilled water "robs" operating
biological systems of "needed" or essential substances and transports
them away. From prima facie evidence, one can assume that water will,
indeed, solubilize excess or cellularly-discarded materials.....minerals
included...and convery them to normal exit systems. I believe, the term
"leaching" is an incorrect one to use----in this instance. Lechates
are in actual practice, the result of fluids passing through a parent
substance and solubilizing/entraining various compounds/elements
and----given the opportunity-- transporting them elsewhere.
Please forgive my having to scratch
this, particular, itch.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
