Drinking ultra-pure water poses health dangers to humans
Evidence indicates that consuming ultra-pure or low-mineral water over the long term can lead to adverse health effects such as mineral depletion in bones and teeth.
The claim that ultra-pure or low-mineral water poses health risks is supported by multiple papers showing that long-term consumption of demineralized water leads to adverse physiological effects, including nutrient depletion and the demineralization of bones and teeth.
