I know you are discussing Distilled Water vs. Tap water
But I wanted to inform that in most cases tap water is safer for you than Spring water is. Government regulation on so called "spring water" is actually more leniant than city regulation on tap water provided.

that really depends on the company bottling the water. most of the large companies have very stringent filtering processes etc.
 
I work with absolutely pure water. The first day I was in the lab, the guy showing me around told me in no uncertain terms that if i drink the pure water, it will kill me.

This is more than likely due to the fact that the water we drink has many minerals (including salts) in it. I imagine "pure water" might take away too much with out adding anything back.
 
Uhh, it's an undisputed fact, DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE KILLS.

that's pretty freaking funny Fur. :bfg:

I was refering to this, "For those who do not have kidney problems, it is rather difficult to drink too much water, but (especially in warm humid weather and while exercising) it is dangerous to drink too little. People can drink far more water than necessary while exercising, however, putting them at risk of water intoxication, which can be fatal. "

Of course, my comment was more directed at Governmental Regulation, not a companies personal regulation. Also I remember hearing about the contest on the Radio, the infamous "Hold your wee for a Wii". Hyperhydration is extremely bad.
 
I think that I may have misspoken before. When I said "pure" water, I should have said deionized water. It has other interesting properties such as not conducting electricity. So you could theoretically take a bath in a tub full of deionized water and enjoy a couple of fresh pieces of toast while blow-drying your hair and be relatively safe.

I'd like to see Adam and Jamie try that one out.
