Thank you for sharing that. Though it is the most scientific sounding argument for drinking mineralized water ive yet seen, note that each possible negative has a cofactor which basically stands on its own. The pure water itself does not cause the potential issues.
Intake of toxic metals. Yes you shouldnt expose your purified water to toxic metals.
Leached nutrients from boiling in purified water. Yes if you boil food in any water you should drink the broth as that process always leaches nutrients.
Low intake of essential elements. You should always take in sufficient essential elements! Duh!
Little or no cal/mag intake from water. Yes thats the point those minerals should come in chelated form theu your diet. Not the dirt rock and pipes that bring your drinking water to you.
Direct effects on intestine, homeostasis, etc. Yes exactly once your high load contaminants are flushed your body will recalibrate to proper hydration and mineral content.
And gut flora changes dramatically! You are composed of more cells of foreign organisms than your own. This is a tremendously understated benefit. Do you think that the microorganisms that have evolved to do well in a polluted environment benefit you more than the ones adapted to cleaner ecosystems?
I dont benefit in any way by persuading you. But industrial pharma/ag/healthcare industries certainly benefit from keeping you as a customer. Think!!!
Imo it is a bunch of BS that started with people trying to sell expensive water alkalizers and has now entered into the post-hoc stage of trying to come up with reasons to justify it. You will get 100x the minerals eating a salad you will from drinking any quantity of water. It’s water. No need to fear.
USDA organic is a supply chain cert you pay for at times. Any 200 proof ethyl alcohol is considered if it’s pure a organic chemical. Ethyl alcohol molecule is organic
It s funny that without having met or knowing someone
One creates a certain respect and trust
For another
Whenever you say something
I believe it almost immediately
And in my head I hear the deep voice

Drinking RO/DI water will destroy your teeth over the long haul. Water is an excellent solvent when its not full of ions. I once had a guy on night shift replace a 3kw Quartz heater with a titanium one, cause that’s what we had in stock. I got the call from the fire department that night as the PolyPro process tank it was installed in started on fire. Didn’t take 2 hours for the hot DI water to dissolve the titanium and expose the live heater.
Interesting story. How do you suppose Ti was dissolved since its not water soluble? Any evidence to your tooth claim or was that just pulled out your ass?
Ti ions are highly soluble in pure water, as are most metals. If you have true pure water (measuring 18Mohm resistivity), it will essentially dissolve metal components until equilibrium is established.
I recently built a air/water heat exchange system where the water was used as an insulator in a plasma reactor. The resistance was critical to the plasma not shorting out to gnd. The total circuit was less than 20 feet in length, but had numerous metal components (valves, manifolds, sensors, heat exchangers, etc.) It left our DI system at 18Mohm, returned around 1.8 Mohm). The drop in resistivity drop is the direct result of copper, zinc, aluminum, and other metal ions in solution,as clearly demonstrated by ICP-MS analysis. So, yes, Ti ions are absolutely soluble in pure water. As far as the teeth, not out of my arse and I am certain very little research is required to validate my claim. Teeth are largely calcium, phophorus, Ca10(PO4)6·2(OH) 1 and highly soluble in pure water as everyone that owns a well knows full well (no pun intended).
Is your goal to learn and understand more about what extractmac is saying, or to have a “gotcha” moment?
“Any evidence to your tooth claim or was that just pulled out your ass?” Let me fix that for ya: I have not heard anything to suggest RO/DI have a negative effect on teeth. Do you have any sources you can link?
Im well aware(pun intended) owning several and having used commercial ro. I also noticed my health improve over the many years of drinking ro. Then after several years of drinking bottled water see it reverse. And though ive used a distiller for only the last year ive again seen improvement. The qty and purity of water required to dissolve teeth in the mouths environment is basically unreachable. Much is already in solution before water reaches teeth. There is significant evidence of the benefits and scant and even blatantly fraudulent arguements against. Sometimes its not what you dont know, but what you think you know that just aint so:grin:
Ro is cheaper but less pure with higher gradient changes within filter life intervals. Ro is the water you get from fruits/veggies. Distillation is gods plan.
If you are still looking for Food Grade Ethanol denatured with n-heptane 95/5 message me with quantity and I will give you our best price. We work with a dozen ethanol plants direct.
