Hi John, Have you ever noticed that sometimes DW, when frozen in ice-cube trays in a regular freezer at about 0 to plus 10 F, will make little stalactite like points, not always straight but slightly curved, in the range of one quarter to one half inch in length. I have always been curious about that behavior.

Distilled water highly acidic? I'd always read that DW is usually pH neutral. And, why would water's behavior when frozen be an indication of superior health qualities when ingested as a liquid by warm-blooded organisms that will not freeze as long as they're alive? If I recall correctly, the formation of beautiful ice crystals is simply an indication that there are nuclei around which they can form; how is that an indication that it is more healthy to drink? If flashy freezing behaviors are an indication of healthy drinking water, then I offer this evidence that distilled water is healthy: The temperature of DW can be lowered below 0 deg C while remaining in a liquid state. If the vessel holding the DW is then jiggled, the DW will instantly freeze solid and the temperature shoot up to 0 deg C. We did this experiment in a freshman prep school science class, and it was way kewl to watch. Supercooled = Super Healthy! Hey, why not? :) -- John A.
