Good question. It seems to me what we have here is a battle between two different commercial interests, each preying on health fears and promoting health misinformation favourable to their product to sell it. Are you shocked? Both scammer groups have a common purpose in alarming you concerning the health hazards of tap water and bottled water. They are dangerous poisons. They cause kidney failure, cancer, baldness, bad breath, even the return of George Bush. They kill you. Then they diverge. One scammer group wants to protect you by selling you home distilling apparatus to remove all this nasty stuff. The other group wants to instead sell you water filters, ionizers, and other useless and expensive products. So each group has an interest not only in scaring you silly about tap water, but also about the product sold by the competing group. So that's why distilled water must be lethal for the group which wants to sell you something else. An example of the pro-distilled water group is here: http://www.precisionwatersystems.com/distillers.html and their pro-distilled water, anti-everything else position is here: http://www.precisionwatersystems.com/health.html An example of the anti-distilled water, pro-ionization- filtration group is here: http://tinyurl.com/dmet3l They warn against competing sources of water here, including (of course) our Dr. Zoltan Rona's article ("Early death comes from drinking distilled water") which warns about this deadly poison from the competition. http://shop.snyderhealth.com/articles.php?tPath=2 Isn't free enterprise wonderful? At the least, you have to admire their creativity. Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
