Two Questions About the Acidity of Distilled Water

This is very difficult question. Distilled water and water from reverse osmosis are acidic and not ideal to drink. Distillation and reverse osmosis, provides mineral free water. It removes heavy metal materials like lead, arsenic, and mercury from water and also calcium and phosphorous. It is also removing bacteria and viruses. Distillation is not removing chlorine. For drinking much better is filtered water (chlorine and chemicals absorption) or natural spring mineral water (not bottled water)

Where I live,in the country,the water is good.It tastes pretty good here.I have lived in a city like area before and I do notice a big difference.In the city I prefered to buy my water,it was better.I think you can tell by the taste.It had a metal taste to it so I didn't want to drink it.

I am surprised about your using distilled water. We(in India) call it mineral water where ideally the water is supposed to be extracted fron Natural Springs from the source before it gets conaminated with any other man made pollutants.The same kind of water is also manufactured in plants like Bisleri for instance who also call their highly safe driking water where the pH balance is adjusted and minerals in salutary quantities are perhaps added.

I have read the discussion also and distilled water said to be as acidic. Distilled water is a product from boiling water. The H2O or water when boiled produce many free radicals. These free radicals are toxic in the body. These are wastes that can be converted to many illness or disease , and one of them is Cancer. Unlike purified water, it is product of reverse osmosis that went from 18-24 stages depending on the acidity level of water being purified. With this, there will be no free radicals left or if there is, too minimal that will not affect the body normal functions nor cause illnesses in the body. They eliminate free radicals or toxic substances in the body. I think distilled water can be a problem because if a person drink 6-8 glasses of distilled water daily, meaning he will input as many free radicals in the body. In additional to distilled water plus the other foods he eats that can contribute to high acidity level which when all added are huge stored in the body. Hence, most people consumption is water intake for the body and our body comprises 90% water composition.

Well if this is tripled distilled water, packed immediately after distillation in neutral glass bottles and sealed instantly, it is neutral , but the so called distilled water sold in gas stations used for putting in battery is nothing but rainwater collected and filterd, they have acid, no doubt.. Have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘@Bhuwan@’. .
