The think I find confusing about distilled water is the water that is sold and recommended by many pediatricians is the Nursery Water. I am also NOT saying everyone recommends this either..It is available almost everywhere. It does have added flouride, which I have different feelings about and I think that is also a totally different topic.. different thread
But bottom line it is distilled water! So if this is safe for babies, I wonder why people are so scared of it?
I really don't know I am not a scientist or doctor, or vet by ANY means but the more I think about it I think the argument saying it is unsafe seems rather odd. How can water leach chemicals from your body? Water is water and to me it would seem there would be another chemical in it to do that..
As my job as a nanny the lady I work for is the Director of OBGYN. She said many of the doctors USE distilled water for the kidney dialysis machines.. I also thought.. ok they are using something on a extrememly compromised patients.. I found this rather interesting.
I also talked to a friend about this who's family has distilled their own water for many many years.. she does now herself as she said she has become aquired to the taste.. All are in perfect health..
I personally the more I hear the more to me the flip side seems rather off.. How can pure water leach minerals from your body? Seems rather strange to me.. but like I said I am also not properly educated either.. I didn't study this or rather go to school for health.
The more I think about it the more myths I think are really out there... Who know's?.. I could also be believing the wrong side of the myth.
