O/T Re: Distilled water--DeanSA

[Guest guest]

Hi Dean,

I have no idea what I should be drinking. Do you know why some

doctors oppose reverse osmosis water? My doctor actually recommended

Penta bottled water because it is reverse osmosis, aresenic free and

has medicinal grade oxygen in it which she said would kill any bad

bacteria. http://www.pentawater.com/index.php

I know bottled isn't a good idea but I don't have a water system

(other than filtered tap) at home yet. Thanks. - Carlin
