Does a reverse osmosis system remove minerals from the drinking water that I need to be healthy?
Many people express concern that the reverse osmosis process removes “healthy” minerals from water. Indeed, the reverse osmosis process effectively separates water molecules from the other non-water constituents that may be present in water. Water does contain some minerals that can be used by our body in some of our bodily functions, but at the same time, water may contain constituents that many of the minerals found in drinking water are inorganic and cannot be assimilated very well by the body. The main source of minerals is should always be from our food and diets, not from our drinking water.
