This is not true, for example if there is a high level of calcium or other minerals it creates a lot of health challenges, also the body cannot use the minerals from normal tap water, it must come from a plant source. > > > I take appropriate mineral supplements, myself. > > As to salt, since the average American diet provides MORE than 3 > or 4 times the necessary amount of sodium, the fact that your > distilled water drinking diet didn't put your sodium levels into > the danger range, means nothing. What people consume is a high level of table salt which is not good for you, however 1/4 tsp. per lt. of sea salt in filtered or distilled water will provide all the natural minerals the body needs.
