Hi,

DI water is very pure water, but DI water doesn't like to be in this state...it likes to have ions dissolve in it. If you drink DI water, it will try to extract ions (trace metals) from you. This is fine as long as you eat enough to replace these metals.

As an extreme example, if you were on a hunger strike, I would not drink DI water. Since you are not eating anything, the DI water will eventually remove enough trace elements to give you health problems.

- Victor.
