There is a way to distill water to strictly be only H2O to the point that it starts to leach copper from copper pipes when used for experiments. If you drink it it will remove vitamins and minerals from the body but drinking a small amount won't kill you.
@@randomperson6454 *"If you drink it it will remove vitamins and minerals from the body"* Which is not bad as a cure. You can have some D.Water to clean the excesses of mineral deposits here and there. But minerals from your food will easily compensate the lost minerals imho.
@@shilombaba No. Osmosis - water always moves towards the point of highest salinity. Cells are permeable (meaning some substances can pass freely in and out of them), water is one of the chemicals that permeate a cell. Pure H20 has 0% salt content, your cells have quite a high salt content so when you drink pure water the water rushes into your cells so fast they burst. This can be fatal even in small doses as it can cause internal hemorrhaging if whatever is in your stomach cannot salinate the water quick enough.
Yeah that's only a good demonstration of how ALL cellular life behaves if you purposely disrupt its water balance. There was no point in putting it in the video other than oooh ahhh don't click away don't forget to like and subscribe keep listening to my bs....
Somehow when I saw the slides and how it affects RBC's, I got a horrible idea for torture.... I swear I'm not like that lol. It was an intrusive thought!
@NightRunner417 So they showed you the result of purposedly disrubting the water/mineral balance of cells. They even provided the control group of saline solution and the other side of experimental group of salt water. What's your problem here?
@@HOSAS_Gaming My problem is that it has NOTHING to do with DRINKING distilled water. It's drama inducing fluff pounded into a video just so they can say "SHOCKING WARNING!" It's BS meant to inflate clicks.
@@NightRunner417 yeah sure, it's a YT so it needs to be clicked. You can't even provide proper information if you don't even have enough clicks in the first place. What truly matters is what this video did with that 'inflated clicks', and that is pretty much accurate and well delivered as I stated earlier. If this is your problem, you would have trouble with practically everything on this planet. Why do you take a pill of Tylenol when the vast majority of the pill has NOTHING to do with ACETAMINOPHEN? Isn't it BS meant to inflate your convenience of consumption?
Two interesting facts about distilled water: 1. It tastes good regardless of temperature. A friend of mine used to buy distilled water and he had a bottle of it in his car. After a game of soccer on a hot day, I was still thirsty, so I drank it. Normally, water that had been sitting in a plastic bottle on a hot day would be gross, but since it was distilled, it was gross. 2. The same friend was advised by a doctor to stop drinking dustilled water. It's not just that normal water provides you with minerals, but distilled water actually removes them from your system. It's not life-threatening or anything, but obviously we want more minerals, not less.
Like, watching the comments you'd think everyone in the world drinks distilled water. Shows what kind of an audience the channel attracts. Ultimately, as much as science tells us - it's not good for you. You could survive by drinking exclusively coffee or booze too, but it doesn't change the fact that the stuff damages your body.
From a PPM standpoint, distilled water is still pure. Micro plastics aren't counted. Good luck finding water that _doesn't_ have micro plastics in it. Short of having an in-home reverse osmosis system, all the water that you drink likely has plastic in it.
I've been using small reverse osmosis (R/O) filter for aquarium as my main drinking water supply for over 10 years now without changing the filters and I plan to change the filters or buy something made for that usage because of the microplastics released form the nylon filters. How I know that R/O filters release microplastics? Because it is the case in the tap water! My biggest error was reusing for years plastic jugs of bought distilled water, which are probably not food-grade. Yet, still better than drinking and cooking with water full of rust, chromium and other dissolved metals for two years until the landlord finally decides to change 2 meters of pipe in the cellar.
We regularly buy a gallon of distilled water every three months for my mom's oxygen tanks/machine. Otherwise, the minerals found in tap and/or mineral water will corrode and clog the pipe in the humidifying cup.
This is the practice we all do. I've never bought so many gallon jugs of water in my life lol. But I would never drink the stuff. This is the purpose of distilled water, being so inert that it does no harm to equipment. But equally providing no benefit to our own hardware (bodies) makes it not a good idea to consume.
My mom buys a gallon from time to time for her steam iron. For the same reasons, if you use tap water mineral buildup will leave marks on your fabrics. And it’s very hard to clean once that’s happened.
3:36 sticking with the fishy theme osmotic pressure is what's responsible for the big differences between keeping freshwater and saltwater fish because the water quality is of the utmost importance to saltwater fish whereas freshwater fish are a little more tolerant of water chemistry changes due to the fact that saltwater fish have to drink the water they live in and freshwater fish do not. The reason for this is due to the fact that the water outside saltwater fish is more saline than the water inside and it causes them to dehydrate making a need to drink water to replace what was lost
I've been drinking distilled water for two years. Bought a water distiller for my cat who had kidney failure, and he lived an entire year beyond what the vet expected. I knew to give him distilled water because I had a coworker who had kidney issues as well, and his doctor told him to drink only distilled.
The distilled water you buy in the store and make at home will never be pure enough to harm you. Ultra pure water can dissolve metal wrenches, burn flesh, and only be contained by glass.
As an ex-merchant mariner, I would like to point out that freshwater supplies on board were distilled from sea water, using waste heat from the main engine. On engine room watch, especially during Persian Gulf passages, we would consume several litres of this water. I never felt the need to inject it into my bloodstream.
Guys it’s really not that hard. You drink water, that water ends up in your stomach, stomach absorbs water. Water goes into blood. Really not that hard
as pointed out in the video by the time it gets through the gut it's no longer pure water. the only way you'd get pure water directly in your blood stream is either intentionally or via an ulcer.
If you don't take in your daily need of table salt daily, you will deplete your electrolytes. Ask your doctor about mineral defecits and health. Yes, the American high fat, and high salt diet is unhealthy. So is a fat free and salt free diet.
Forget sodium. We have it in everything. Other minerals like potassium, magnesium, aka electrolytes, etc. are easily overlooked but are critically essential and can be a common deficiency.
@@empireoflizards Yes, but drinking water cannot possibly supply you with the elements you need. The daily recommended dose of Ca2+ is ~1.2g. Very hard water can contain possibly 70-80 mg/l. You would need to drink at least 15l of very hard water per day to get your daily supply of Ca!!! Would you be able to drink 15l of water per day?? Most people drink soft water which has probably no more than 25-30 mg/l of Ca2+. In that case you would need to drink 40 l per day. Good luck with that! I simply drink a glass of milk, eat some cheese or yogurt and some fish and that will easily cover that. I don't treat water as a source of nutrients.
@@pawelzielinski1398: Neither do I, but I use it to stay hydrated because that's all what water is for. Also, us SCD warriors get dehydrated much more easily and die easily than anyone else because of how the disease works... Everyone needs to be careful with what they drink and eat and inhale too. *"Everything in moderation."* Also, your blood type lets you know the kind of diet you need... If you look it up lol Our lungs were made to inhale oxygen only and idiots out there are inhaling smoke and sht destroying their lungs slowly in the process. Humans are so damn stupid, incompetent and I'm not for it :/
This one always kills me, people act like its toxic almost but its obviously fine. Especially since you get so much stuff in your food, the waters got plenty to bind with if needed. Consider a future where we're forced to drink distilled purified water. We might not have an option and I don't think it would be a problem because of all the things we ingest
It won't really quench your thirst effectively as it doesn't have electrolytes, all the minerals are removed. Why do you think athletes drink Gatorade with sodium in it
@@WindReiter10 and because it's practical for endurance sports. wonder why nobody mentions that distilled water absorbs minerals from your tooth enamel. if you gotta drink it, best to chug.
@@frzzyxI mean it's completely useless to do so but yeah you can absolutely put a saline solution in your bloodstream with little to no side effects at all. It's actually very standard in the medical industry for countless reasons
Been drinking distilled water for over 62 years at this point in time with no signs of it being harmful. My HBG/HCT has been high for as long as I can remember except for about a month in January 2023 when we were trying to figure out why I was actively bleeding. Once we determined the cause of the bleeding and stopped it, my HGB/HCT returned to high levels. This indicates my red cells were not taking in excess water that was causing them to lyse. Reinforcing this is the fact that under the microscope, no schistocytes were seen therefore my red cells were not lysing. Also my blood chemistries over the years have shown no ill effects from me drinking distilled water. (BTW…I got my degree in laboratory science in 1979 and worked in a major hospital lab processing, testing, analyzing, and reporting results on blood and other bodily fluids for over 35 years. Therefore I am not just going by what a doctor told me, I using knowledge acquired from study, from practical application, and from experience. Where I live, we are required to have a set number of hours each year of continuing education to renew our state licenses that are required to work in our field in our state.) So I shall continue to drink distilled water for probably as long as it is available to me. As for the bit about distilled water “sucking” all the calcium out of your teeth over time…I still have all my permanent teeth except for my wisdom teeth as they grew in at a very painful angle and had to be removed. But then I swallow my water when it enters my mouth, I do not hold it in my mouth for my teeth to soak in.
@@darkknight097 This is an old myth that has been totally debunked, been drinking it for many years as well. The amount of minerals in water is negligible to begin with, and don't get me started on treated water which I have never drank in 62 years.
I've been drinking water with less than 6ppm TDS for over 50 years. If I am offered tap water at a friend's house or at a food service I can taste the iron and minerals in the water. I have had no physical problems drinking pure water. Oh, I'm 83.
I've been drinking tap water my whole life (almost 30 years) and I can taste it too, although usually it's only really noticeable in rural areas, where iron or calcium content is high. I live in Denmark btw, so we don't have any lead pipes and our tap water quality is generally extremely good. If you live in places like the US, you should probably avoid tap water whenever possible.
@@MartinFinnerupTap water in the US is usually fine. It can taste a bit unappealing in some areas, (particularly urban areas from my experience), but it’s almost always safe to drink. Regardless, most of the time, it’s indistinguishable from bottled water.
that's because you eat food. so many commenters are worried about distilled water "leaching" minerals from our bodies which, perhaps on a very very very small scale is true. but by the time it reaches the lower esophagus it's basically the same as tap water anyways. completely irrelevant by the time it reaches the stomach. i don't like distilled water because it tastes bad to me. i, like most people, don't get my calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, etc. from my fucking water, I get it from my food. christ almighty this is why people need to pay attention in chemistry class. it might not be "directly useful" but at least you don't spout this kind of military-grade bullshit found in so many other comments. so: keep doing what you're doing, cheers to a long and healthy life. you with your glass filled with distilled water and mine with tap water.
@@ozmiumYT The blood plasma, interstitial fluid, and cytoplasm are close , if not identical in constituents, to salt water, but drinking sea water will not quench your thirst and will kill you. If you drink tap water in Oklahoma, and other parts of the country, the fluoride content is so high it mottles the teeth and weakens bones. In other areas Nitrites and Nitrates in concentrations well above 10ppm are the problem. Even Arsenic is in some rural drinking waters. Here in Nebraska one is required to have ventilated basements in homes or to ventilate under mobile homes to avoid Radon inhalation. 1 ppm Chlorine is used in tap water to kill pathogens, but if you can smell Chlorine in your tap water it is either higher or lower than 1 ppm. In either case the water can contain chlorinated hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic. As snow and rain water flow through the aquifer it dissolves minerals, primarily Sodium Chloride and Calcium Carbonate. Each municipality downstream processes the water before killing pathogens and pumping it back into the aquifer. When its TDS reaches 1,500 ppm, at which one can begin to taste salt, it is allowed to flow into the ocean without further reuses. So, your "tap water" isn't what you think it is.
@@bird_obsession it has: flouride-not good in the body- poison for the organs. (google this-lot to find); chlorine- acid; traces of drugs- there everywhere; poo- google this; pee- google this; meds-google this; toxins- google this; distilled water, purified water- much better (don't know the ratio).
distilled water isnt great for you, because pure water naturally pulls minerals out. since it doesnt have the added minerals to counter that effect, it can actually pull essential minerals out of your body and into the water which is then peed out, so distilled water actually takes away nutrients instead of giving them.
The moment it reaches the stomach it's no longer distilled and will become part of regular stomach content and will be treated as such. So no, distilled water is not going to leach the minerals out of you. You would have to drink a lot of it in a short period of time, preferably starving for several days, for it to have any such effects.
@@dreadfulman5191 More generally, it _will_ leach some things out of you (by forcing your kidneys to produce urine, which will contain some dissolved substances that can't be fully reabsorbed), but roughly to the same degree that tap water will. Even the most dilute urine will have significantly more dissolved solids than standard tap water, and most drinking water is further processed/filtered. Excessive water consumption, whether distilled or not, without other foods will lead to a deficiency of the most common electrolyte in the body - salt, i.e. hyponatremia.
My vet put my cat on a strict distilled water regimen. He is not permitted to have any kind of water OTHER than Distilled (and they made sure they made themselves clear -- DISTILLED) water. He has been drinking Distilled Water, and only Distilled Water for a year and a half now and he's perfectly fine. Now, granted, he gets nutrients from his dry and wet food (which is also prescription). This is because he had urinary problems, and almost died (the vet said he had less than 24h left to live when I brought him in) due to a urinary blockage which is apparently common in male cats. The distilled water is to reduce the minerals he gets, thus reducing the risk of said minerals accumulating in the incredibly thin urethra male cats have.
That's because it's complete bollocks, that distilled water is dangerous. It's not especially healthy, just wet like water that hasn't been distilled. You'll get your minerals from other sources, like the foods you eat... you weren't getting significant amounts from your drinking water anyway. Also, anybody that tells you distilled water is going to "suck ions out of your body" is a clown.
Yeah, because you also eat food. Anything that might be harmful due to the lack of anything in the water is probably supplemented by the food you eat. Especially if you also take vitamins.
@@ElementalAer In plastic bottles! Flouride otherwise known as ant or rat poison is not good for you. They don't want what is best for you. Please use your discernment. I use a filter and a distiller. Well worth the money.
On WestPac deployment 1971. I ordered triple distilled water to us in my airsearch RADAR for cooling the PA transmitter tube. My cooling system then had to run fo approximately 3 hours through filters and scrubbers to ensure purity prior to turning the transmitter on. I and others in my team drank the water during a break down of the ships distilation equipment that caused an onboard water shortage. The only result was our thirst was satisfied. No problems.
"Injecting distilled water will harm you" Yeah, but so does regular freshwater, as it usually has a very low mineral content as well. Assuming it's clean in the first place. Or any saltwater of a higher concentration as demonstrated. It's kind of a "duh" point. Don't inject random stuff in your bloodstream. Now, what about drinking? Well, we absorb 95%+ of our mineral intake over our food. The amount of sodium chloride in a pack of chips can make a large bucket of water slightly salty. Assuming an average diet (which is usually rather TOO salty in western countries) drinking distilled water is literally irrelevant.
I think you’d be surprised. During COVID, there were a lot of people getting water injected into themselves as fake vaccines. I don’t think it was usually distilled water, but it became a trend and could have easily made someone try it with distilled water. This is just one example, but there are probably more. Osmosis is terrifying and some people don’t realize that.
You'd have to inject gallons to prevent it from instantly dissipating in your salty bloodstream. Those red blood cells takes time to absorb the water and burst, and you can survive as long as you have 50% of them left. Frankly you're more likely to drown from choking on it.
I've primarily drank distilled water for years and I am an overall healthy person. I used to live in a place that had super high mineral content in the water and it caused several of my family members to get kidney stones. I've had some friends tell me some crazy stuff about the affects of drinking distilled water. I've been doing this for 20 years; you'll be fine. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet, have a Gatorade if out in the sun for some extra electrolytes.
@@SilverStarFour lmao you may want to learn what words mean, then learn what chemicals are, and you'll then learn why that comment nearly made my coffee come out from laughing so hard. I hear that water has water molecules in it! some may been artistically created by combining hydrogen with oxygen in a lab!
Using unrefined salt will supply the trace elements the body needs. No body needs the chlorine, sodium fluoride, and other chemicals and pharmaceutical that are commonly found in water supplied by municipalities.
So this video is basically all about telling people not to inject distilled water. Useful, it's such a common problem that is. What's the next video? How eating neutron stars can be hazardous to your health. 4 minutes and 1 second of my life I will never get back.
Next video will be how we should only let oxygen enter our bloodstreams via the lungs, not by direct injection, because some time saving measures are not healthy for us. 🤣😇
I have drank and cooked with distilled water for almost 30 years with no problems, I noticed that ice cubes are really clear,always bought them in plastic containers
gone without good sleep for 30 years with no problems... it's just that the good things are greatly diminished because common sense. probably more susceptible to early onset dementia, depression, immuno-stuff, etc. Distilled Water =/= Distilled Grade Water. one lightly strips stuff from your body with prolonged exposure: eg. weaken tooth enamel. The other one does that then proceeds to lightly damage surface cells, increasing chances of cancer. by how much? probably an insignificant amount.
MY WHOLE family been drinking distilled water for years without issue. We get all the minerals we need from food. And plants that actually contain edible minerals as opposed to those in the soil.
Exactly! People really think we rely on our minerals from water! 😂 Distilled water is the cleanest water you can drink, besides getting it directly from a natural, clean source.
Why is this water not sold with the water for consumption ? I don't think I have to get my drinks with the cleaning products. Some people are crazy, or sick, all for a “trendy” lifestyle or false good health advice. No gluten, no sugar, no fat, now no minerals, and those same people smoke 2 packs of cigarettes per day, or expose themselves to excessive UV rays. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Most tap water is much closer to distilled water in osmotic pressure than bodily fluids. It will have the same effect on blood cells, which is why IV is always done with an isotonic saline solution.
@@Luke-open-minded-sceptic trust me you want chlorinated water. Our gut flora can adapt to whatever we put inside us, drinking chlorinated water for the first time in your life would disrupt them temporarily but. Chlorine is essential to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and other microorganisms. Yes its a chemical, but the reality of not having it in our water systems would cause far more illnesses than we currently see. The gut flora are far more affected by your diet than the specific kind of water you drink
@@RedShirtGuy96 cant I just have normal water which has safe levels of bacteria without the disinfectant. Animals survive on pond and puddle water water. Horses and cats will prefer the rainwater or river water. Cats will wait for the chlorine to evaporate. My cats are healthy. I am not willing to completly change my gut biome. It acts as an antibiotic preventing the fermentation of fibres. This is why people struggle to digest fibres these days. We can pre ferment fibres with things like sourkrout if we have destroyed our own systems with antibiotics. The glyphosate does the same in the gut and the ground.
Needed minerals come from your food. Unless you're fasting with nothing but distilled water and not using electrolytes, (or injecting distilled water intravenously) you'll be fine.
I have come close to water intoxication before and it is horrible. It happened because I was in the desert, it was 120F. I was drinking water constantly and not eating much because I wasn’t hungry due to the heat. Someone gave me some salted sunflower seeds and I felt better the next day. Pretty rare situation but it’s possible even with water that has minerals in it.
@@MattnUska yea the amount of minerals in tap water/bottled water is significantly less than in your body. So electrolyte imbalances can result from drinking too much of it
I literally grew up primarily drinking distilled water. Nobody in my entire family has ever had any negative effects from it, nor have I met someone who has. Like, just have a healthy and varied diet, and if you're still concerned, you can get mineral supplements to drop in your water.
I grew up drinking nothing but distilled water and sadly I'm still kicking. I once heard that if you remove all impurities from water, it can no longer conduct electricity. Is that true?
Saline is salt water by definition. Your experiment would have been interesting to have tested saline, tap water, and distilled water. The results with tap water would have probably been indistinguishable from those with distilled water.
Water doesn't have enough "impurities" in it to give your body any sort of suggested dose of... well, anything. Just eat some veggies. Rather, the reason I was taught distilled water is bad is because of how the purity and charge of it affects osmosis. This was explained back to me in a college chemistry class but that was like a decade ago so I'm fuzzy on the details and I'm not sure I can explain it *well*. It's not that it lacks essential minerals and such, its that your body is full of salt and minerals and drinking only distilled water can leech those out of your body since the distilled water wants to equalize with the water in your body. If you have a diet high in all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs this isn't a huge deal since the leech is slow and your body will replace the missing nutrients with new ones. The danger comes if your diet is very low in certain nutrients or minerals and the distilled water leeches it out. With nothing to replace it then you could put yourself at a health risk. Something about the distillation process makes it more reactive hence why other forms of pure water aren't as talked about. Though if you inject pure water into your blood in ANY form it's bad for you. If you want super pure water just drink filtered water. It's very nearly as pure and doesn't have the same properties.
So why not use tap water as the control group instead of saline solution?? Doing what you did makes it look like you're biased against using distilled water.
I recall high school science class. There was a container with a spout of distilled water. The teacher warned us not to drink it because it's poisonous.
My grandpa talks about this when he was still alive. He says that distilled water is a dead water. No minerals at all. He is a very wise man, and a jack of all trades.
Distilled water is, to me, more like an infant starting its life. Not yet passing by the world picking things up along the way. It dies when it goes up to the heavens to return later as an infant once again.
It'll not maintain distilled, but it'll take away the minerals of your body to maintain the osmotic pressure, and your kidneys will flush out them away. A glass is not a problem, but bigger quantities will crash your salt level, and can go from mild symptoms, like headaches, to death. The solution is to drink saline fluids, or eat, but it's better to not drink distilled water.
You will get the exact same problem of mineral deficiencies if you drink excessive amounts of regular water, and drinking excessive amounts of saline will give you kidney stones.
The problem with mineral water is there are minerals and crystals in the water that are not good for you, and the ones that are cannot be metabolized very well. They usually end up in your joints giving you arthritis, or in organs like your kidneys where they accumulate into stones. Better to get your minerals from plants that have already metabolized the beneficial minerals and filtered out the bad ones for us and wash it down with distilled water with a bit of lemon added for electrolytes and vitamins.
The hemolysis is why, in the hospital, when the goal is to hydrate only, or saline would be risky due to conditions such as HBP, we administer a glucose solution instead. (Just in case anyone was wondering :D)
What exactly did this video teach us. Nothing. Yes if you put a drop or gallon of blood in distilled water the distilled water will shrink the red blood cells. But if you drink the distilled water your body chemistry will equalize the distilled water. Just ask yourself would you rather drink water with all kinds of chemicals added to it or drink an uncontaminated water. Personally I have a water still and make iced tea, lemonade, coffee and just drink distilled water. The iced tea looks better and tastes better, the coffee tastes much better.
I've never drank fresh water in my life. Everyone in my country drinks distilled water if they have access to it cuz the water running through our taps is not safe for drinking. I was actually quite surprised and disgusted when I found out westerners and everyone else drank tap water. I didn't know that your tap water was actually clean back then. For me and my siblings, every drop of water we drank as water is distilled water. We're fine. Occasionally when cooking we use tap water cuz we can boil it and kill anything inside. That's the only way we've ever ingested it. There *are* some companies in my country that add nutrients after distilling the water but, still.
I don't know if distilled water is good or bad. But did anyone besides me notice that the paper or what ever it was at the 2:16 mark, is white, when the other 2 were a darker shade of color? Seems to me they all should've been the same. Are we being lied to again? 🤔
he has microplastics from all the fish he eats just look at his videos of cutting up fish. he eats the super microplastic fish and its all up on and in him.
I know a person who drinks distilled water for several decades and he is perfectly fine. Indeed he has a channel in germany and is showing healthy exercises for the body.
Your body pulls in the majority of calcium from fluids (Milk and Mineralized water) which is more readily absorbed than from food. I work with water utilities here in Florida and many of the coastal utilities have to use Reverse Osmosis plants to remove salt, thus like distilled it's almost pure water which will cause decalcification in your bones. Typically the utilities will mix the R.O. water with water from inland plants to get minerals back in the water. Florida's bedrock is almost entirely limestone which results in high calcium levels. CLR is a mainstay for cleaning faucet aerators here which clog up with calcium deposits rather quickly. If you get a water softener it's usually shot after five years from calcium saturation as well. Osteoporosis is a very real condition in people as they age (Especially Women) which is why hip fractures are so common among elderly folks. Drinking de-mineralized water can cause early onset, astronauts are also vulnerable to this when in weightless environments for long periods as well as muscle atrophy.
Most people get enough minerals from their diets. Astronauts have problems due to the weightlessness as bone and muscle strength are developed to counteract the pull of planetary gravity. In space they have very little gravity to fight and therefore their muscles and bones don't have to be as strong to support their mass. Overweight and obese people have denser bones due to the increased mass being acted upon by gravity. Older people tend to move around less, often weigh less, and tend to eat smaller, less balanced meals, which is more problematic than the trace amounts of minerals added to drinking water. The minerals are usually added for taste as distilled or ro water has no taste, so you end up tasting the bacteria and biofilm in your mouth. It doesn't have to be much mineral content to affect taste. You'd have to drink crazy amounts of distilled water along with a low mineral diet to experience bone leeching.
@@Just1Nora Your forgetting the solvency of water, namely pure water dissolves and absorbs minerals. RO systems were widely deployed in a couple European countries in the 90's which resulted in numerous health problems increasing in the population. Search this for yourself it's a real concern that's well documented.
Theoretically speaking, wouldn't distilled water cause constipation instead since it is being absorbed more. For diarrhea there needs to be more water in the poop
I remember one time I was talking about distilled water with a coworker and she insisted that it was extremely toxic. I informed her that she was actually thinking of heavy water, or deuterium oxide, a form of water that's toxic on account of the fact that it's the biological equivalent of gasoline in a diesel engine. She then proceed to take out her phone and Google it, where Google's first result said that it's dangerous because it's lacking in minerals that humans need to survive, like calcium and magnesium. I then pointed out how most Americans get most of their water from soft drinks, which are made using distilled water, and that magnesium and calcium and other minerals are all found in food. She just pissy and refused to actually think about it. The lesson here is that public education will each you something that it patently false and most people just accept it as fact and will refuse to use even the most basic common sense in order to maintain a belief in what they were taught.
welp your explanation for the experiment is a bit off the point normal water can also cause blood cell to burst and thats what we called "water poisoning"🤷 but usually overdose water is very hard to achieve tho🙈
I'm sorry but I'm not drinking my chlorine filled tap water, it smells so bad you will gag from it because the chemicals are that fuckin strong, so I'm choosing bottled water any day.
We studied when do cells shrink or burst 2 years ago in biology when I was 18. I'd like to add that you can see the animal cell shrinking, but you can't really see the plant cell shrinking because it's covered with a cellwall. Only the cytoplasm inside the wall shrinks, which we can't see. (I'm not talking about blood cells.)
The amount of minerals in typical drinking water is rather low but varies. Most intake is from solid foods. I drank a gallon of distilled water a day for months during intense physical training and didn't have diarrhea more often than without distilled water. 3-4 times a week tops.
No, he’s showing the effect of different water concentrations in the blood. Drinking distilled water should be fine, as long as you don’t have any ruptured organs or something lol. But then you’d have a different problem
I once told my classmates that I drink purified water. They looked at me and asked me like I should be dead the moment I drank it the first time. Later, I found out there're many ways to purify water, and heat is not the only way. So I believe they thought I drink chemically purified water used for factories, where the chemicals are still in the water. I saw in the comments something about taste, but for me, it's just water, tab water has a kind of taste added to the water. (Tab water here in Germany is not as bad as in America)
If distilled water is so bad for us to drink, why do the pediatricians tell you to use it to mix baby's formula in so they can consume nothing but that for every bottle for the first several months of life? Also if you buy the actual "Nursery Water" to make formula with, it is labeled as distilled water?
The only thing I've heard about distilled water is that you need to drink it immediately after opening the bottle. Otherwise it starts reacting to the atmosphere and starts to taste bad.

Another lie. It have already absorbed atmospheric gases when it was manufactured, and after you open a bootle, unless you are bubbling it, almost no gases will dissolve.
My mother drank distilled water for three years and her arthritis went away. Don't believe people who say it is bad. Since she was drinking it I did too and neither of us suffered any ill effect.
Exactly! Because non-distilled water is loaded with INORGANIC minerals which build up in your joints! All of the people saying that you need "minerals" from water are confused because those are INORGANIC!!
@@Denniss7420 When you get your minerals from a plant they are bound to other molecules that make them bio-available, I believe they refer to them as chelated minerals.
We had to replace an old demineralised water tank at work, so to save money, the company thought that a concrete tank would be more suitable than stainless steel. Within 3 months of it being constructed, it started leaking. The inside of the tank looked like it had been melted by acid. The demineralised water had dissolved the cement in the concrete. We ended up replacing the tank with the original stainless steel design, but if simple demineralised water can do that to concrete, imagine what distilled water can do to you over time. It literally leaches the minerals out of you. Distilled water is as bad as drinking raw seawater, they're just opposite ends of the same scale...don't do it.
Both seawater and distilled water have been used to drink for hundreds of years for their health benefits. But you are correct we need to understand what we are doing and use them in moderation to gain the benefits and not the side effects.
Are you made of concrete? If so be worried, how ever most of us are not, we have this thing called metabolism and organs, when they work together they actively shuttle needed things around to keep the body stable.
Interesting.. It's been 8 years, only drinking distilled water. I started only showering in distilled water 2 years ago & washing my clothes for 6 months.
welp have you ever heard of "survivorship bias"? your own single case cant proof anything just that you're lucky nothing happens🙈 the main problem is distilled water doesnt make you any more benefit even ordinary water is better in this case unless you have some special need🤷
Same here. I'll take distilled water over tap water any day, as the tap water has all sorts "Forever chemicals" "and inorganic minerals, which I hear are not absorbed the same same way as organic minerals are by the body. Also, some people recommend to put salt, lemon, or other mineral supplements into the distilled water if you are worried about the the distilled water not having enough minerals. It is to be noted that ones diet should have all necessary minerals in it as well. without it, one will get deficient over time anyway. (Buy a real distiller, don't get it from plastic jugs, as the plastic does leech into the water.)
i once drank an entire gallon of distilled water not knowing that it was different from water with minerals. after i thought about it for a while i took a whole tablespoon of salt thinking it would fix the balances in my body. i threw up uncontrollably 10 minutes later. bad day.
I remember visiting a small (Research) nuclear reactor as a child (this was some time ago!) the tour guide said that the water in the tank was distilled to such a purity, that it would pull the fillings from your teeth.
I've been been drinking them for the last 10 years. And it taste sweeter than normal water. I also can't verify what type of water is on the third slide.
All we drink is distilled water. We have been drinking it for about 14 years now. You don’t need minerals and salts from your water. You should be getting it from vegetables and fruits not your water. Distilled water helps to flush out and break down inorganic minerals. It’s way healthier than regular water.
Forget diarrhea, I was “taught” that drinking it *can kill you*
People confuse distilled water and heavy water all the time.
There is a way to distill water to strictly be only H2O to the point that it starts to leach copper from copper pipes when used for experiments.
If you drink it it will remove vitamins and minerals from the body but drinking a small amount won't kill you.
@@randomperson6454 *"If you drink it it will remove vitamins and minerals from the body"* Which is not bad as a cure. You can have some D.Water to clean the excesses of mineral deposits here and there. But minerals from your food will easily compensate the lost minerals imho.
@@shilombabathis is wrong, you are wrong
@@shilombaba No. Osmosis - water always moves towards the point of highest salinity. Cells are permeable (meaning some substances can pass freely in and out of them), water is one of the chemicals that permeate a cell. Pure H20 has 0% salt content, your cells have quite a high salt content so when you drink pure water the water rushes into your cells so fast they burst. This can be fatal even in small doses as it can cause internal hemorrhaging if whatever is in your stomach cannot salinate the water quick enough.

Two interesting facts about distilled water:
1. It tastes good regardless of temperature. A friend of mine used to buy distilled water and he had a bottle of it in his car. After a game of soccer on a hot day, I was still thirsty, so I drank it. Normally, water that had been sitting in a plastic bottle on a hot day would be gross, but since it was distilled, it was gross.
2. The same friend was advised by a doctor to stop drinking dustilled water. It's not just that normal water provides you with minerals, but distilled water actually removes them from your system. It's not life-threatening or anything, but obviously we want more minerals, not less.
Like, watching the comments you'd think everyone in the world drinks distilled water. Shows what kind of an audience the channel attracts.
Ultimately, as much as science tells us - it's not good for you. You could survive by drinking exclusively coffee or booze too, but it doesn't change the fact that the stuff damages your body.

@@Soapsoup_the joke is distilled water tastes bad by its own ( for most people )
Needs a new doctor. We get minerals from food. The amount in water is very trace amounts
Distilled water distributed in plastic jugs is no longer distilled - it now contains microplastics
Google be like: "Doctors recommend drinking microplastic water at least once a day"
From a PPM standpoint, distilled water is still pure. Micro plastics aren't counted.
Good luck finding water that _doesn't_ have micro plastics in it. Short of having an in-home reverse osmosis system, all the water that you drink likely has plastic in it.
It is still distilled. It is now TAINTED.
Idiot.
I've been using small reverse osmosis (R/O) filter for aquarium as my main drinking water supply for over 10 years now without changing the filters and I plan to change the filters or buy something made for that usage because of the microplastics released form the nylon filters.
How I know that R/O filters release microplastics? Because it is the case in the tap water!
My biggest error was reusing for years plastic jugs of bought distilled water, which are probably not food-grade.

We regularly buy a gallon of distilled water every three months for my mom's oxygen tanks/machine. Otherwise, the minerals found in tap and/or mineral water will corrode and clog the pipe in the humidifying cup.
This is the practice we all do. I've never bought so many gallon jugs of water in my life lol. But I would never drink the stuff. This is the purpose of distilled water, being so inert that it does no harm to equipment. But equally providing no benefit to our own hardware (bodies) makes it not a good idea to consume.
My mom buys a gallon from time to time for her steam iron. For the same reasons, if you use tap water mineral buildup will leave marks on your fabrics. And it’s very hard to clean once that’s happened.
@@alphagt62 If she has a dryer, then the water that is collected is also pretty distilled. My mom makes use of it for her ironing.

3:36 sticking with the fishy theme osmotic pressure is what's responsible for the big differences between keeping freshwater and saltwater fish because the water quality is of the utmost importance to saltwater fish whereas freshwater fish are a little more tolerant of water chemistry changes due to the fact that saltwater fish have to drink the water they live in and freshwater fish do not. The reason for this is due to the fact that the water outside saltwater fish is more saline than the water inside and it causes them to dehydrate making a need to drink water to replace what was lost
I've been drinking distilled water for two years. Bought a water distiller for my cat who had kidney failure, and he lived an entire year beyond what the vet expected. I knew to give him distilled water because I had a coworker who had kidney issues as well, and his doctor told him to drink only distilled.

Forget sodium. We have it in everything. Other minerals like potassium, magnesium, aka electrolytes, etc. are easily overlooked but are critically essential and can be a common deficiency.
@@empireoflizards Yes, but drinking water cannot possibly supply you with the elements you need. The daily recommended dose of Ca2+ is ~1.2g. Very hard water can contain possibly 70-80 mg/l. You would need to drink at least 15l of very hard water per day to get your daily supply of Ca!!! Would you be able to drink 15l of water per day?? Most people drink soft water which has probably no more than 25-30 mg/l of Ca2+. In that case you would need to drink 40 l per day. Good luck with that!
I simply drink a glass of milk, eat some cheese or yogurt and some fish and that will easily cover that. I don't treat water as a source of nutrients.

Been drinking distilled water for over 62 years at this point in time with no signs of it being harmful. My HBG/HCT has been high for as long as I can remember except for about a month in January 2023 when we were trying to figure out why I was actively bleeding. Once we determined the cause of the bleeding and stopped it, my HGB/HCT returned to high levels. This indicates my red cells were not taking in excess water that was causing them to lyse. Reinforcing this is the fact that under the microscope, no schistocytes were seen therefore my red cells were not lysing. Also my blood chemistries over the years have shown no ill effects from me drinking distilled water. (BTW…I got my degree in laboratory science in 1979 and worked in a major hospital lab processing, testing, analyzing, and reporting results on blood and other bodily fluids for over 35 years. Therefore I am not just going by what a doctor told me, I using knowledge acquired from study, from practical application, and from experience. Where I live, we are required to have a set number of hours each year of continuing education to renew our state licenses that are required to work in our field in our state.) So I shall continue to drink distilled water for probably as long as it is available to me.
As for the bit about distilled water “sucking” all the calcium out of your teeth over time…I still have all my permanent teeth except for my wisdom teeth as they grew in at a very painful angle and had to be removed. But then I swallow my water when it enters my mouth, I do not hold it in my mouth for my teeth to soak in.
you would have to inject the distilled water into your blood stream for it to have this harmful effect.....

It’s deionized water that is dangerous, not distilled
@@darkknight097 This is an old myth that has been totally debunked, been drinking it for many years as well. The amount of minerals in water is negligible to begin with, and don't get me started on treated water which I have never drank in 62 years.
I've been drinking water with less than 6ppm TDS for over 50 years. If I am offered tap water at a friend's house or at a food service I can taste the iron and minerals in the water. I have had no physical problems drinking pure water. Oh, I'm 83.
I've been drinking tap water my whole life (almost 30 years) and I can taste it too, although usually it's only really noticeable in rural areas, where iron or calcium content is high.
I live in Denmark btw, so we don't have any lead pipes and our tap water quality is generally extremely good.
If you live in places like the US, you should probably avoid tap water whenever possible.
@@MartinFinnerupTap water in the US is usually fine. It can taste a bit unappealing in some areas, (particularly urban areas from my experience), but it’s almost always safe to drink.
Regardless, most of the time, it’s indistinguishable from bottled water.
that's because you eat food. so many commenters are worried about distilled water "leaching" minerals from our bodies which, perhaps on a very very very small scale is true. but by the time it reaches the lower esophagus it's basically the same as tap water anyways. completely irrelevant by the time it reaches the stomach.
i don't like distilled water because it tastes bad to me. i, like most people, don't get my calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, etc. from my fucking water, I get it from my food.

@@ozmiumYT The blood plasma, interstitial fluid, and cytoplasm are close , if not identical in constituents, to salt water, but drinking sea water will not quench your thirst and will kill you. If you drink tap water in Oklahoma, and other parts of the country, the fluoride content is so high it mottles the teeth and weakens bones. In other areas Nitrites and Nitrates in concentrations well above 10ppm are the problem. Even Arsenic is in some rural drinking waters. Here in Nebraska one is required to have ventilated basements in homes or to ventilate under mobile homes to avoid Radon inhalation.
1 ppm Chlorine is used in tap water to kill pathogens, but if you can smell Chlorine in your tap water it is either higher or lower than 1 ppm. In either case the water can contain chlorinated hydrocarbons, which are carcinogenic.
As snow and rain water flow through the aquifer it dissolves minerals, primarily Sodium Chloride and Calcium Carbonate. Each municipality downstream processes the water before killing pathogens and pumping it back into the aquifer. When its TDS reaches 1,500 ppm, at which one can begin to taste salt, it is allowed to flow into the ocean without further reuses.

distilled water isnt great for you, because pure water naturally pulls minerals out. since it doesnt have the added minerals to counter that effect, it can actually pull essential minerals out of your body and into the water which is then peed out, so distilled water actually takes away nutrients instead of giving them.
Won't the body digest distilled water anyway and take the minerals from it?
Distilled water doesn't have any minerals in it. It's almost pure H2O, which your body can't substitute for other minerals.
The moment it reaches the stomach it's no longer distilled and will become part of regular stomach content and will be treated as such. So no, distilled water is not going to leach the minerals out of you. You would have to drink a lot of it in a short period of time, preferably starving for several days, for it to have any such effects.
@@theunknownperson666 can you read? There are no minerals in distilled water
@@dreadfulman5191 More generally, it _will_ leach some things out of you (by forcing your kidneys to produce urine, which will contain some dissolved substances that can't be fully reabsorbed), but roughly to the same degree that tap water will. Even the most dilute urine will have significantly more dissolved solids than standard tap water, and most drinking water is further processed/filtered. Excessive water consumption, whether distilled or not, without other foods will lead to a deficiency of the most common electrolyte in the body - salt, i.e. hyponatremia.

My vet put my cat on a strict distilled water regimen. He is not permitted to have any kind of water OTHER than Distilled (and they made sure they made themselves clear -- DISTILLED) water. He has been drinking Distilled Water, and only Distilled Water for a year and a half now and he's perfectly fine. Now, granted, he gets nutrients from his dry and wet food (which is also prescription). This is because he had urinary problems, and almost died (the vet said he had less than 24h left to live when I brought him in) due to a urinary blockage which is apparently common in male cats. The distilled water is to reduce the minerals he gets, thus reducing the risk of said minerals accumulating in the incredibly thin urethra male cats have.
As someone who drinks distilled water regularly, I can tell you I'm very much alive and healthy.

On WestPac deployment 1971.
I ordered triple distilled water to us in my airsearch RADAR for cooling the PA transmitter tube. My cooling system then had to run fo approximately 3 hours through filters and scrubbers to ensure purity prior to turning the transmitter on. I and others in my team drank the water during a break down of the ships distilation equipment that caused an onboard water shortage.
The only result was our thirst was satisfied. No problems.
"Injecting distilled water will harm you"
Yeah, but so does regular freshwater, as it usually has a very low mineral content as well. Assuming it's clean in the first place. Or any saltwater of a higher concentration as demonstrated. It's kind of a "duh" point. Don't inject random stuff in your bloodstream.
Now, what about drinking? Well, we absorb 95%+ of our mineral intake over our food. The amount of sodium chloride in a pack of chips can make a large bucket of water slightly salty. Assuming an average diet (which is usually rather TOO salty in western countries) drinking distilled water is literally irrelevant.
I think you’d be surprised. During COVID, there were a lot of people getting water injected into themselves as fake vaccines. I don’t think it was usually distilled water, but it became a trend and could have easily made someone try it with distilled water. This is just one example, but there are probably more. Osmosis is terrifying and some people don’t realize that.
Have a look at a bottle of bacteriostatic water for injection, its distilled water and a tiny amount of benzyl alcohol & thats it, nothing else.
You'd have to inject gallons to prevent it from instantly dissipating in your salty bloodstream. Those red blood cells takes time to absorb the water and burst, and you can survive as long as you have 50% of them left. Frankly you're more likely to drown from choking on it.

Yes its a chemical, but the reality of not having it in our water systems would cause far more illnesses than we currently see. The gut flora are far more affected by your diet than the specific kind of water you drink
@@RedShirtGuy96 cant I just have normal water which has safe levels of bacteria without the disinfectant. Animals survive on pond and puddle water water. Horses and cats will prefer the rainwater or river water. Cats will wait for the chlorine to evaporate. My cats are healthy. I am not willing to completly change my gut biome. It acts as an antibiotic preventing the fermentation of fibres. This is why people struggle to digest fibres these days. We can pre ferment fibres with things like sourkrout if we have destroyed our own systems with antibiotics. The glyphosate does the same in the gut and the ground.
Needed minerals come from your food. Unless you're fasting with nothing but distilled water and not using electrolytes, (or injecting distilled water intravenously) you'll be fine.
JUst drink Brawndo. It has electrolytes.
I have come close to water intoxication before and it is horrible. It happened because I was in the desert, it was 120F. I was drinking water constantly and not eating much because I wasn’t hungry due to the heat. Someone gave me some salted sunflower seeds and I felt better the next day. Pretty rare situation but it’s possible even with water that has minerals in it.
@@MattnUska yea the amount of minerals in tap water/bottled water is significantly less than in your body. So electrolyte imbalances can result from drinking too much of it
You're absolutely right!
@@MattnUska this can still happen with just plain old tap water as well.
I literally grew up primarily drinking distilled water. Nobody in my entire family has ever had any negative effects from it, nor have I met someone who has.
Like, just have a healthy and varied diet, and if you're still concerned, you can get mineral supplements to drop in your water.
I grew up drinking nothing but distilled water and sadly I'm still kicking.
I once heard that if you remove all impurities from water, it can no longer conduct electricity. Is that true?
Saline is salt water by definition. Your experiment would have been interesting to have tested saline, tap water, and distilled water. The results with tap water would have probably been indistinguishable from those with distilled water.
I am ao glad someone mentioned this.
Hmm, there is still the fluoride to consider with tap water.
Water doesn't have enough "impurities" in it to give your body any sort of suggested dose of... well, anything. Just eat some veggies. Rather, the reason I was taught distilled water is bad is because of how the purity and charge of it affects osmosis. This was explained back to me in a college chemistry class but that was like a decade ago so I'm fuzzy on the details and I'm not sure I can explain it *well*. It's not that it lacks essential minerals and such, its that your body is full of salt and minerals and drinking only distilled water can leech those out of your body since the distilled water wants to equalize with the water in your body. If you have a diet high in all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs this isn't a huge deal since the leech is slow and your body will replace the missing nutrients with new ones. The danger comes if your diet is very low in certain nutrients or minerals and the distilled water leeches it out. With nothing to replace it then you could put yourself at a health risk.
Something about the distillation process makes it more reactive hence why other forms of pure water aren't as talked about. Though if you inject pure water into your blood in ANY form it's bad for you.
If you want super pure water just drink filtered water. It's very nearly as pure and doesn't have the same properties.
So why not use tap water as the control group instead of saline solution?? Doing what you did makes it look like you're biased against using distilled water.
I recall high school science class. There was a container with a spout of distilled water. The teacher warned us not to drink it because it's poisonous.
My grandpa talks about this when he was still alive. He says that distilled water is a dead water. No minerals at all.
He is a very wise man, and a jack of all trades.
Distilled water is, to me, more like an infant starting its life. Not yet passing by the world picking things up along the way. It dies when it goes up to the heavens to return later as an infant once again.
He was u mean
but a master of non, and thus wrong, but at least wans't the most dangerous thing to be wrong about.
@@Refertech101 What are u smoking?
Pretty sure I don't want to drink water that's "alive."
They speak of distilled water as thoughit somehow maintains the lack of minerals when it dilutes what's in your body. It's just clean water bro.
What are you even saying i cant understand you
It'll not maintain distilled, but it'll take away the minerals of your body to maintain the osmotic pressure, and your kidneys will flush out them away. A glass is not a problem, but bigger quantities will crash your salt level, and can go from mild symptoms, like headaches, to death. The solution is to drink saline fluids, or eat, but it's better to not drink distilled water.
@@SilverStarFour if you are using it for tea, it's dissolving organic compounds and probably sugar, so it's not a problem anymore.
You will get the exact same problem of mineral deficiencies if you drink excessive amounts of regular water, and drinking excessive amounts of saline will give you kidney stones.
Yah, it diffuses into your blood and is no longer distilled water
But what if I drink distilled water and then usinate it out and drink it. Will it have enough essential minerals?
The problem with mineral water is there are minerals and crystals in the water that are not good for you, and the ones that are cannot be metabolized very well. They usually end up in your joints giving you arthritis, or in organs like your kidneys where they accumulate into stones. Better to get your minerals from plants that have already metabolized the beneficial minerals and filtered out the bad ones for us and wash it down with distilled water with a bit of lemon added for electrolytes and vitamins.
Why leave out tap water in your experiment?
It have the same properties of distilled water on blood. This experiment is generally made with tap water, but both work.
@@ElementalAer tap water is nothing like distilled water, because it's not distilled water... It's just normal water
@@Nina-cd2eh yet it has the same effect on blood. Learn to read.
The hemolysis is why, in the hospital, when the goal is to hydrate only, or saline would be risky due to conditions such as HBP, we administer a glucose solution instead. (Just in case anyone was wondering :D)
What exactly did this video teach us. Nothing. Yes if you put a drop or gallon of blood in distilled water the distilled water will shrink the red blood cells. But if you drink the distilled water your body chemistry will equalize the distilled water. Just ask yourself would you rather drink water with all kinds of chemicals added to it or drink an uncontaminated water.
Personally I have a water still and make iced tea, lemonade, coffee and just drink distilled water. The iced tea looks better and tastes better, the coffee tastes much better.
Ditto here! 💦in Mainz, Germany.
I've never drank fresh water in my life. Everyone in my country drinks distilled water if they have access to it cuz the water running through our taps is not safe for drinking. I was actually quite surprised and disgusted when I found out westerners and everyone else drank tap water. I didn't know that your tap water was actually clean back then. For me and my siblings, every drop of water we drank as water is distilled water. We're fine. Occasionally when cooking we use tap water cuz we can boil it and kill anything inside. That's the only way we've ever ingested it. There *are* some companies in my country that add nutrients after distilling the water but, still.

Wait, what?
Your body pulls in the majority of calcium from fluids (Milk and Mineralized water) which is more readily absorbed than from food. I work with water utilities here in Florida and many of the coastal utilities have to use Reverse Osmosis plants to remove salt, thus like distilled it's almost pure water which will cause decalcification in your bones. Typically the utilities will mix the R.O. water with water from inland plants to get minerals back in the water. Florida's bedrock is almost entirely limestone which results in high calcium levels. CLR is a mainstay for cleaning faucet aerators here which clog up with calcium deposits rather quickly. If you get a water softener it's usually shot after five years from calcium saturation as well.
Osteoporosis is a very real condition in people as they age (Especially Women) which is why hip fractures are so common among elderly folks. Drinking de-mineralized water can cause early onset, astronauts are also vulnerable to this when in weightless environments for long periods as well as muscle atrophy.
Most people get enough minerals from their diets. Astronauts have problems due to the weightlessness as bone and muscle strength are developed to counteract the pull of planetary gravity. In space they have very little gravity to fight and therefore their muscles and bones don't have to be as strong to support their mass. Overweight and obese people have denser bones due to the increased mass being acted upon by gravity. Older people tend to move around less, often weigh less, and tend to eat smaller, less balanced meals, which is more problematic than the trace amounts of minerals added to drinking water. The minerals are usually added for taste as distilled or ro water has no taste, so you end up tasting the bacteria and biofilm in your mouth. It doesn't have to be much mineral content to affect taste.
You'd have to drink crazy amounts of distilled water along with a low mineral diet to experience bone leeching.
@@Just1Nora Your forgetting the solvency of water, namely pure water dissolves and absorbs minerals. RO systems were widely deployed in a couple European countries in the 90's which resulted in numerous health problems increasing in the population. Search this for yourself it's a real concern that's well documented.
@@ronreyes9910 Drinking R.O. has damaged my health.
Ad blood to ordinary tap water as well and you will get the same effect as distilled water.
Theoretically speaking, wouldn't distilled water cause constipation instead since it is being absorbed more. For diarrhea there needs to be more water in the poop
I remember one time I was talking about distilled water with a coworker and she insisted that it was extremely toxic. I informed her that she was actually thinking of heavy water, or deuterium oxide, a form of water that's toxic on account of the fact that it's the biological equivalent of gasoline in a diesel engine. She then proceed to take out her phone and Google it, where Google's first result said that it's dangerous because it's lacking in minerals that humans need to survive, like calcium and magnesium. I then pointed out how most Americans get most of their water from soft drinks, which are made using distilled water, and that magnesium and calcium and other minerals are all found in food. She just pissy and refused to actually think about it. The lesson here is that public education will each you something that it patently false and most people just accept it as fact and will refuse to use even the most basic common sense in order to maintain a belief in what they were taught.
welp

We studied when do cells shrink or burst 2 years ago in biology when I was 18. I'd like to add that you can see the animal cell shrinking, but you can't really see the plant cell shrinking because it's covered with a cellwall. Only the cytoplasm inside the wall shrinks, which we can't see. (I'm not talking about blood cells.)
The amount of minerals in typical drinking water is rather low but varies. Most intake is from solid foods. I drank a gallon of distilled water a day for months during intense physical training and didn't have diarrhea more often than without distilled water. 3-4 times a week tops.
I drink it all the time since my childhood
I also drink it regularly. When I am cleansing. One sip and your body says, give me more.

Distilled water just tastes and feels so empty. It's not good water. Idk how people drink a bunch of it.
I've been injecting bottled drinking water. So I'm good, right?
I used to drinking distilled water all the time. Never had an issue.
According to your test, your telling us to drink saline or salt water instead of distilled.
No, he’s showing the effect of different water concentrations in the blood. Drinking distilled water should be fine, as long as you don’t have any ruptured organs or something lol. But then you’d have a different problem
2:52 Thats because water goes wherever there is sodium.
I once told my classmates that I drink purified water. They looked at me and asked me like I should be dead the moment I drank it the first time.
Later, I found out there're many ways to purify water, and heat is not the only way. So I believe they thought I drink chemically purified water used for factories, where the chemicals are still in the water. I saw in the comments something about taste, but for me, it's just water, tab water has a kind of taste added to the water. (Tab water here in Germany is not as bad as in America)
If distilled water is so bad for us to drink, why do the pediatricians tell you to use it to mix baby's formula in so they can consume nothing but that for every bottle for the first several months of life? Also if you buy the actual "Nursery Water" to make formula with, it is labeled as distilled water?
The only thing I've heard about distilled water is that you need to drink it immediately after opening the bottle. Otherwise it starts reacting to the atmosphere and starts to taste bad.
I didn't believe it, but it did go from "this is pretty good" to "this tastes weird" to "im just going to pour this out" over the course of an afternoon.
Another lie. It have already absorbed atmospheric gases when it was manufactured, and after you open a bootle, unless you are bubbling it, almost no gases will dissolve.
Happens to normal water too.
My mother drank distilled water for three years and her arthritis went away. Don't believe people who say it is bad. Since she was drinking it I did too and neither of us suffered any ill effect.
Distilled water will pull toxins from the body when you drink it on a regular basis.
Exactly! Because non-distilled water is loaded with INORGANIC minerals which build up in your joints! All of the people saying that you need "minerals" from water are confused because those are INORGANIC!!
@@Denniss7420 When you get your minerals from a plant they are bound to other molecules that make them bio-available, I believe they refer to them as chelated minerals.

We had to replace an old demineralised water tank at work, so to save money, the company thought that a concrete tank would be more suitable than stainless steel.
Within 3 months of it being constructed, it started leaking. The inside of the tank looked like it had been melted by acid. The demineralised water had dissolved the cement in the concrete.
We ended up replacing the tank with the original stainless steel design, but if simple demineralised water can do that to concrete, imagine what distilled water can do to you over time.
It literally leaches the minerals out of you. Distilled water is as bad as drinking raw seawater, they're just opposite ends of the same scale...don't do it.
Both seawater and distilled water have been used to drink for hundreds of years for their health benefits. But you are correct we need to understand what we are doing and use them in moderation to gain the benefits and not the side effects.
Was the tank exposed to air, so the CO2 could get absorbed into the water turning it slightly acidic? Apples to Oranges.
Are you made of concrete? If so be worried, how ever most of us are not, we have this thing called metabolism and organs, when they work together they actively shuttle needed things around to keep the body stable.
Look at what regular water does to mild steel, it dissolves it. Luckily you aren't made of steel or concrete.

Same here. I'll take distilled water over tap water any day, as the tap water has all sorts "Forever chemicals" "and inorganic minerals, which I hear are not absorbed the same same way as organic minerals are by the body.
Also, some people recommend to put salt, lemon, or other mineral supplements into the distilled water if you are worried about the the distilled water not having enough minerals.
It is to be noted that ones diet should have all necessary minerals in it as well. without it, one will get deficient over time anyway.

All we drink is distilled water. We have been drinking it for about 14 years now. You don’t need minerals and salts from your water. You should be getting it from vegetables and fruits not your water. Distilled water helps to flush out and break down inorganic minerals. It’s way healthier than regular water.
