Does drinking distilled water leach minerals from the body?
No, quite the opposite. If inorganic minerals (and other substances like chlorine, heavy metals, bacteria, etc.) are removed from water, by converting it into pure distilled water, the result is improved absorption of all nutrients, including minerals, and improved elimination of wastes at the cellular level. There are numerous studies indicating that through proper hydration, our bodies retain essential minerals which are part of a proper diet.
