Talk:Purified water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Health aspects of drinking purified water
There is a common understanding that drinking a lot of purified water can be bad for you (ostensibly because it will absorb minerals that would otherwise be consumed by your body). However, I could only find one clear article describing this and it is widely disseminated, by Zoltan P. Rona MD, MSc. Unfortunately the vast majority of the web sites that contain this article are trying to sell water purifiers or water itself and therefore are suspect sources of material. Can anyone provide information about whether drinking purified water is good or bad for you in the short or long-term?
Note: I started this same discussion under "bottled water" as well. -- S. Gartner talk 02:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
