The Disadvantages of Drinking Distilled Water
-
About Distilled Water
-
Distilled water is water that has undergone a process that strips away any or all impurities. However, the process also takes away all of the minerals as well.
Mineral Depletion
-
The body relies on water for survival, including the minerals normally found within it. Without the minerals in water, your body's own minerals could be depleted.
Acidity
-
Dr. Zoltan P. Rona argues that without the minerals it usually has, water becomes acidic, and can take nutrients such as calcium away from the body.
Free Radicals
-
Distilled water can also encourage the creation of free radicals, which contributes to the development of cancer in the body.
Heart Disease
-
Rona also writes about a correlation between drinking distilled water and cardiovascular disease. The more distilled water that was drank, the more likely that person contracted heart disease.
