If cases of military personal who drank Reverse Osmosis water without adding in minerals having bad cases of diarrhea is f'ing r****ded then I am that. But what I am seeing is that because you don't know what your posting about you automatically take it upon yourself to think it untrue and this try to insult someone. Case in point, Ive been in commands where my co-workers got blasted for not adding minerals to the tanks. But maybe I should make another thread asking is having diarrhea equal to being sick; whereas I know what your answer would be.
So you worked for the military and you don't know how important water is for the human body? You can google "the importance of water" and find a million different things to tell your son instead of starting a thread on a basketball message board for a bunch of guys that are going to tell you how ridiculously dumb this is and acting defensive. Remove your head from your ass soldier!
You guys arent reading correctly at all, its a shame. Its a simple question to ponder. Water carries nutrients, that much is known. Taking out the nutrients and consuming said water will make you sick, cases of diarrhea of which I speak. Please read OP before saying what is already said. I mentioned water is a necessity but yet idiots reply back with the same info, wtf, serious, read up please.
Where you can draw a line is that water is supposed to, in theory come with nutrients and minerals already in it. Water is obviously not healthy when it comes chalk full of poison as is the case with salt water and most public water supplies. But before we started polluting the environment so much, water and nutrients were as joined at the hip as Stockton and Malone (sorry, it was the best I could do right now).
You should have created a different name for the thread OP. Maybe "Is water by itself healthy?" would have gotten your point across more clearly.
You'd have to drink a TON of water before your diarrhea episode happened...if it does at all. If you eat a reasonable amount of food with water it shouldn't happen. Hell, people drink a gallon of water a day in addition to what the they drink when they eat their meals and they don't get diarrhea. You must have had some dirty ass "pure" water if you're telling the truth. Again, google will tell you all you need to know.
Learn to google much? I guess your lazy ass just wants everything given to him...is that what the military is teaching you guys now adays?
if you want nutritious water go to your nearest ocean and take a sip....high in sodium and is usually very abundant.
Well your body is composed of a lot of it, so that leads me to think you probably need it to help prolong your life.
Nope sorry. Distilled water alone can do that. RO water will do that. Again just cause you do not know it does not mean it is not true. Again, again, read my postings. I did Google and it had mixed answers, majority of them being in favor of nutrition but still mixed.
Nutrition has to be added and it also has to be taken away. What I was trying to understand is that water acts as a carrier so to understand, when nutrients are added water is healthy for you but when nutrients are not supplied or are taken away its just that, blank. Without nutrients meaning not healthy. Therefore wouldn't that translate into water not being healthy itself but the the nutrients that it carry? I asked a question earlier which foods can be striped of its nutrition but yet, water which everyone is arguing is a nutrient itself can be stripped. Someone else already nailed it but I am trying to go backwards on this topic, Socrates style if you will.
It meets the definition of a nutrient. That it doesn't appear on the nutritional label with other vitamins and chemicals doesn't mean it has no nutritional value. Distilled water isn't naturally occurring so I don't even know why you brought it up.
