I drank deionized water for several years without any health problems arising. Deionized water is a recognized type of bottled drinking water and is approved by the FDA. Tobacco, however, is not regulated by the FDA Stephane.

Furthermore, extensive searching on Medline did not produce a single document relating to the adverse health effects occuring from the consumption of deionized water. So if this is such a commonly recognized fact, would someone please provide me with some credible studies that support such a claim?

The only concerns I could accept would be that you'd lack the intake of various metals (such as Ca, Mg, etc), but that would be a moot point if you consumed a well balanced diet. In addition, if the effect of ion aggression of DI water water was significant enough to warrant a health concern, I assume those of us who drink DI water and have mercury fillings would be suffering from mercury poisoning huh?

P.S. According to Kent's website, they ". . . do not recommend drinking deionized water because it is so pure that it will taste 'dry'!"
