Ultra Pure Drinking Water -Is it healthy ?Written by Pauline Robinson
Over past decade, popularity of bottled water has increased substantially in North America(1). Sales of bottled waters have increased by 400%, and 1 in 5 households now use bottled drinking water (2). Annual per capita consumption has risen from less than 8 gallons in 1991 (1,2) to 12.7 gallons in 1997 (Arthur von Wiesenberger, personal communication). Since bottled water is beginning to assume a prominent place in North American diet, its health effects require evaluation. It is more important to remove any harmful pollutants from your water than to save beneficial minerals in it. Drinking water produced by distillation alone is not free of all potential pollutants, regardless of brand of distiller; drinking water produced by combination of any distiller plus an adequate filter will insure purest drinking water but without minerals. Also because of lack of minerals pH of this water will drop and become more acidic on standing. Ultra Pure water produced by Reverse osmosis sytems that have a UV light added are good and have a few electrolites in it. The pH will drop as this water has no buffering capacity also.
