Improperly stored distilled water, without a cap, will absorb CO2

from the air, and lower it's pH. I covered this in the first post.

The blood pH level is 7.2 or so. Pure water is 7.0.

The scale is 0 to 14. So, pure water is not bad for you.

For those with certain ailments, distilled water can be bad.

For those with other ailments, distilled water is a must.

Given what is in tap water, ..., unknown substances, known

substances that cause cancer, and worse, I will drink distilled

and eat more veggies and fruits, as ripe as I can get them.

This was covered in the original post.

The Wikipedia distilled water page has a section about

health effects. It repeats what I wrote, with one exception.

It claims some people get a sizeable amount of their

minerals from their drinking water. It does not state

which people, like people eating only meat. Nor does

it say you get over 50% from water. However, it does

mention several studies, which I will attempt to find

and read.

I found this section good reading. A verification.

Now, it had bad info on fluoride. Very bad. It attempted

to balance it, but one can see the effects of multiple authors

on this page. Each paragraph seemed to repeat facts from

a previous one. Poor writing.
