Hi,

Removing enough elements to give you health problems. Most people don't experience these problems since we tend to eat enough to prevent these problems.

Let me give you another example, a person who has low iron tends to have low red cell count -- this makes the person very tired and unable to perform strenuous exercise. The solution to this problem is to ask this person to eat iron rich foods. Suppose, we ask this person to drink DI water. If DI water extracts the iron from this iron defficient person...she is going to have even more problems. There are all sorts of defficiencies, but they don't usually hear about it. However, if you have ever traveled to third world countries and hang around with the locals, you will realise that defficiences can happen and they can lead to real health problems. I wonder why we have so many supplement pills at the drug stores....vitamins supplements, cod liver oil and etc.

As to why DI can capture trace elements....think of you body as a chemical mixing vessel. It contains blood, trace elements and other stuff. If we add DI water in to the system, we will dillute the blood and other stuff. When we go to the bath room, we release dead blood cells and other waste products. We can regenerate blood cells, but we can't regenerate minerals. Water is also release, but it is a mixed version of DI and regular water. The unfortunate part is that the remaining water actually has less trace elements. If this person continues to drink DI water with out eating stuff to replace the trace elements, this person is going to become trace element defficient. However, normal people don't experience this unless you are on a hunger strike or you happen to avoid certain food groups.
