Oddbean new post about login | logout Can you point to a case where someone suffered some form of illness after consuming pure water? I see some speculation it may be harmful, and one citation to a 1988 study (not available online). In terms of what is available online, it seems to me the evidence points the other way: "Blood electrolytes balance was not significantly modified even with prolonged treatments with low mineral waters." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10138893/
Natural mineral water =/= distilled water. Distilled water has the minerals removed by the distillation process. It’s not unsafe or unclean to drink, but consistent consumption will remove minerals from your body as the water will reabsorb them as it goes through you. Source: gf is a nurse, & also easily found science information.
The quotation I gave is about "low mineral water", not "natural mineral water" Has your mate ever seen a case of an individual suffering from some illness related to mineral deficiency related to drinking distilled water? I am aware that some sources advise against drinking distilled water, but I am hoping for more solid evidence than mere opinion.
You're looking for an end result that can be complicated, but like Barbara O'Neil says, there's a known scientific way to hydrate yourself. This science is not in question, minerals hell absorption & it's why athletes all have electrolyte drinks.
Here's a goat in it's natural habitat going for hydration 👀 https://image.nostr.build/50de986b8c628568ae6ccc2c7e95d9a12ae5996d2d158d46ac302b7fb9d931ec.jpg
Firstly, for what purpose are you drinking distilled water? Other than kidney failure, I've never known anyone to die from drinking water.
Hydration As to why distilled, I mentioned this earlier in the thread. Water in my area is fluoridated & I am also concerned about other contaminants (eg plastics, pharma)
Oh yes, the female hormones donated from the piss of degenerate women whose wombs werewasted upon them and the psych meds urine from the mind controlled are of grave concern. I have used a Berkey since 2007 but even they are all in on Made in China now. On the other hand, I did get a terrible bout of giardia from drinking river water. Dang it!
