The Pros And Cons Of Purrified Water

Water purified by means of reverse osmosis, and other demineralizing procedures is not healthy for human consumption, and the distribution of this water is unethical because of these health issues. It turns out that the purification of water removes vital nutrients and minerals, not just the toxins in the water. Water purified by reverse osmosis is in fact water in its purest form, almost 100% H2O, but that does not make it healthy for the human body, which requires minerals which can only be sufficiently absorbed by water that has not been purified. “When we drink purified water, we are consuming a pure chemical substance, H2O. Pure chemical substances of any kind are not found in nature collected together, but instead are always mixed with other substances. Because of its extreme purity, purified water absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, which makes it acidic and even more aggressive at dissolving the alkaline substances it comes in contact with.” (Purified Water and its …show more content…

The process of reverse osmosis does remove near 100% of all toxins from the water, however, that does not make the water healthy. Without the needed minerals that are in natural water, purified water is not fit for human consumption, and it is wrong for major water distributers to distribute purified water under the assumption that it is healthier than natural
