    I just read up something about the harmful effects in long term drinking of distilled water. I am wondering what other types of water can one drink instead? What do you call those water that we get from our tap and boiled to boiling point? Is this safe for drinking? My office here has distilled water(those blue drum-like thingy) and filtered water but the latter has a poor filtering system(I can see residues in it) X| . Thus, I am considering bringing in a boiler to the office to boil my own water straight from the tap. Any advice?:cool: Weiye Chen Life is hard, yet we are made of flesh...

                are you certain it's not only "purified" ? because drinking distilled water is not good for you because ( I think ) it lacks all the necessary chemical elements that makes up "good" water.

                      Drinking proper distilled water - i.e. the stuff you might top your car battery up with, is bad for you. It has none of the minerals, salts etc that normal water has. When you drink it there is an ion imbalance between the water in your stomach and your body cells and osmodic(spelling) pressure tries to balance this up with the net result that it leaches ions out of your body and cells - bad news over a long time I'm told. Water in those dispenser things shouldn't be distilled just purified - although having seen programs on what people bottle and sell as water I would debate that. Well that's what I have been told.

                                    This might be true if you are, for example, running a marathon, but if you are drinking pure water along with a normal diet, you won't have any problems. After all, the only way to prevent cell-wall osmosis is to drink exactly the same fluid as is already inside the cells - not very appetising!
