It's worse than that, RODI water as it is just pure H2O it's desperate to bond to anything it can so it grabs minerals from your body as it passes through.
You don't drink it straight, you make coffee with it. That extra grabby power passing through coffee grounds makes a noticeable difference.
Are you telling me there's a way for me to become more of a coffee snob?!
Edit: Google says it's not this way and makes for weak coffee.
Check out 3rd Wave Water, you can take coffee snobbery to heights you've never imagined...
Unpublished Data from when I worked summers in a lab for grad students disagrees with Google.
We tested distilled, RO, DI versus tap water. We were going to see about the double-distilled water but the supervising professor caught us. Apparently "That shit was too expensive for your shenanigans!"
Yes, sticking stuff in it makes it work, you can even get mineralising powders that put the minerals back in so say you don't trust or like your tap water you can filter everything out and put the stuff you do like in
It sounds like it would be good to drink a glass or so every week just to help prevent kidney stones right? Or am I Way off the Mark here. I feel like I'm way off the Mark here, but somebody please confirm if I am not off the mark okay?
No, it pulls everything out of your system and causes deficiencies. It shouldn't be drunk at all.
There's a limit to what it can pull though, right? If you have excess minerals in your body, it seems it would help eliminate them, kind of like chelation, right?
Kind of, but you don't get to choose what it pulls, so unless you have an excess of every mineral then it's going to make you deficient in something and then other things may not be affected at all.
Your kidneys understand what they are doing better than you do.
