Rain water, unless you live in a polluted city

What is concidered polluted?

If you look back a few years before sattelite imagery and high tech gadgets, the US was able to tell that the USSR was testing atomic weapons by air samples alone. Go up into the arctic or down to the antarctic(or a glacier for that matter), when cores are taken of ice structures until you get deep enough to get past the industrial age there isn't "pure" ice. It is contaminated with all the crap floating around the earth. I highly doubt that you can go anywhere on this planet and get pure rainwater. Not with progress.

Victor,

the DI water will eventually remove enough trace elements to give you health problems.

And where will they go? How will they leave your body? Through something else other than your digestive tract and urinary system? Evaporation? Your body is designed to remove things that it conciders essential to survivial. If it was removed or stripped in whatever fashion don't you think your body would re-absorb it again in your digestive tract or urinary system? However IF and I stress IF the water was able to remove enough to cause problems don't you think someone who tests things like this would have said something and these cartridges would be labelled and expressly marked NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.. DANGER!!!!

Most importantly to me.. if DI was able to remove enough of these elements necessary for you to live, you have more important things to worry about. Stop drinking coke with every "meal" and forget eating cheetos and caramilks all day long and eat properly. If you are worried about DI doing this to you. It's time to rethink your eating habits.

Andrew,

Cudos.. Good job.

You know it won't make a whit of a difference tho. The wives tale is so much more fun to perpetuate. It creates such a gruesome image. :twisted: :shock: People drinking DI water and actually being taken apart and stripped down into their basic elements. In time they will just fall apart. Or else the water will cause them to mummify as it has removed everything essential for us to survive. OH MY! :shock: :shock:

too funny.. lol
