That's what I've heard too. However, if you add electrolyte tablets and sodium to the DW you have the perfect water to drink. That's what Smartwater is I believe, without the sodium.

I haven't been following this thread but I was always taught that DW took good things like minerals out of the system so it was not good to drink long term on its own.

I appreciate the feedback about Mercola. With regard to my original question though, does anyone have any input/science regarding any danger with distilled water as Mercola outlines it?...any veracity, do you think, to his article? Possibly in large quantities, for someone using DW to hydrate and nothing much else...but for our purposes, I kind of doubt it.

To: silver-list@eskimo.com Date: Saturday, December 18, 2010, 9:02 AM I'm forwarding this provocative article for feedback. I found the article of particular interest for those of us who make our own CS from distilled water...from any source. A total dissolved PM reading, on a PPM scale may not indicate any VOCs or DBPs as the article states (which are dangerous at PPB levels). But, then, we're not typically swigging glassfulls of CS a day either. Any thoughts? thanks, and have a happy!! http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/12/18/distilled-wate r-interview.aspx
