Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I knew when I said that I would get a response like this. It is absolutely, 100% not true that distilled water is not healthy to drink. Any kind of water is not a good source of minerals, so the lack of minerals in distilled water does not hurt your mineral intake. I am very involved in the distilled water industry and know what's being said about distilled water all over the net. Let's just agree that there are two sides to everything, and there are just as many people raving about what distilled water has done for their health as there are people who say it causes x,y, and z. Regarding carbon filters, alongside everything else it doesn't get rid of, it doesn't get rid of fluoride which should not be ingested. Carbon filtered water is NOT a good option for people who are drinking a ton of water each day. Have a blessed day! Evie Maddox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 That is absolutely true. I live on a horse ranch and have a private well, so no fluoride or chlorine here. I'm glad you found what works for you. Amber Regarding carbon filters, alongside everything else it doesn't get rid of, it doesn't get rid of fluoride which should not be ingested.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Amber, I'm not sure if you've had your well water tested, but just wanted to let you know (if you didn't) that fluoride is found naturally in water, including well water. http://www.groundwater.org/gi/well_testing.html Have a blessed day!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 There are two types of fluoride: Calcium fluoride the natural type from the ground, this is the beneficial fluoride, and sodium fluoride which is an industrial waste from Aluminum and Fertilizer plants, this is the stuff they put in tooth paste and the water, toxic stuff. Look it up on the web sites. Jeanne ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Like most things, it depends on who you ask. Calcium fluoride is safer, not safe. And it's even safer for people who drink very little water, which is most people. If you are drinking a lot of water, it is not good for you over time. The MSDS for calcium fluoride states this as well. http://www.sciencelab.com/xMSDS-Calcium_fluoride-9927120 Have a blessed day!

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Shefy, I believe strongly in drinking distilled water. I distill my water at home, guaranteeing that it is real, 100% distilled water. I've bought bottled distilled water before that did not even taste the same, so I wonder. It's important to note also, that water being sold from one state to another is NOT regulated at all. What it says on the bottle may not be what's inside. It is possible (it's happened) that your bottled water is nothing but bottled tap water. You will read all sorts of things on-line about why such-and-such water is better than X. At the end of the day, you have to use your common sense and gut instinct and then go with it. Have a blessed day!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Evie, can you recommend a reasonably priced water distiller for residential use that is not constructed of plastic in unsafe forms. I have looked a number of times but I keep getting sidetracked by all the 'Distilled water is not good for you' naysayers. I agree with you. I don't want to get my vitamins and minerals from sources that may be contaminated. Also, my thyroid condition, of over 20 years, has never improved except when I got rid of the fluoride from my water. What brand and model do you use?
