Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Drinking Distilled Water / What’s the Risk ?

It was done because after the advent of steamships with distilling units, a small percentage of sailors with delicate G.I. tracts would get the screaming [bleep] from drinking nothing other than distilled water for months at a time.

Check your facts and get back to us,

Distilled is the purest of water,

You're trying to tell me that water that falls from the sky has no impurities?

Tap water has all kinds of toxins dumped into it and people survive...... until they don't. Could they live longer, healthier lives with better water?

At 40, I felt like I was over 80, whatever that's like.
I eventually got off the city water for drinking and used bottled.....distilled.

Then I drank spring bottled water.

I noticed a remarkable difference between each kind.

The best water for my limited personal experiment was purifying water that contained some minerals from a shallow well . It was rain water/ "distilled" plus the soil minerals. No chlorine, fluoride, or chinese chemicals (100+) were added as were to tap.

That was THE best single source of improvement in my health. My purifier was not a worthless otc Britta either . It was a Royal Berkey. Thousands of gallons later and using good water from the shallow well.

I have/ had friends who have chosen differently.
Some drink pop..... diabetic.
Others drank a little alcohol quite often.....enlarged organs. I said enough, but those are my.personal observations for what worth they are to anyone.

Here's an article about containers too.
That has been a concern to many.

Indeed. Short term if possible.

Old wives tales.

I'm telling you it is distilled. I said nothign about impurities.

Anything distilled may contain impurities depending on what happens to it after it is distilled.

Agree, a very little salt in there is beneficial.

Its not good for making rhubarb wine.

Pour back, and forth, get some air in it?

That's what my diabetic friends think too.
I get asked for prayer for God to reverse years of consequences, but denial so much that I won't preach to them.
I just share what I know and they can take it or leave it.
It's their bodies and choices.

As to chiinstructors use of distilled. No big warnings or concerns from me. I can back up everything I said.

So now sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, and magnesium carbonate are "Organic"?

Come on Hawk! You are brighter than this. An ion is an ion.

Distilled water does not leach minerals from the human body.

Like I stated,this is is an old wives tale.

I think most here are mistaking deionized water for distilled water. Distilled water is OK to drink, deionized isn't because it becomes acidic after exposure to air.

Same with RO (reverse osmosis) water. RO water needs to have critical minerals placed back into the water to make long term usage safe! memtb

Hogwash.

Um, no.

The amount of minerals in drinking water is pretty minimal. The amount of nutrition found in one healthy meal would probably dwarf what's in a full day's supply of drinking water.

Um, yes. I know people who get ALL their water from a catchment system and they are healthy.

There's information on both sides of the debate.

I used distilled for a long time and feel noticably better with good mineral water. This is subjective to me. Others do what they want and tell me I don't know squat and I will say do what you want.
I check my bone density with a very scientific bone density test thats going to make the medical staff roll their eyes. I look at my teeth in a mirror with good light behind them. If they are looking translucent/ clear then I know that there's a need to work on my diet AND supplements. Absorption may be an issue as well.

I also use supplements that restore the lost tooth enamel, which most dental schools apparently still teach is bogus. They seem to teach that teeth are like dead wood furniture rather than living dynamic bones that change over time. But I digress.

Knew an old guy that would only drink water from a special spring on his property. Claimed fairies lived in the spring and made magical or some schit.
He traveled with it. Wouldn't touch tap or bottled.

He died at about 60yo from years of drinking cheap beer and cheap whiskey.

Apparently the Old Crow was too much for the fairies to contend with.
