Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / June 2005drinking reverse osmosis water
Hello All, I would like to know if drinking reverse osmosis water is bad for the body. I've read conflicting information. Some people argue about how it would cause mineral deficiencies. Others say that water doensn't provide much minerals to the body, so it shouldn't be harmful. Is there any medical student or other professional that could help me out? If so, please give a detailed explaination about this issue. Thank you in advance, Paul Reverse osmosis water is just water that has been purified by a process that removes excess salt and other ions, like lead. You don't need to worry about your mineral balance. It should not be affected because even if you drink water that has not gone through reverse osmosis, you don't get many minerals. Jeff http://science.howstuffworks.com/question29.htm If you drink this water, it will reverse YOUR osmosis. Don't be foolish! If you're not going to believe any of the stuff you've already read about this on the internet, what's one more message? Osmosis, indeed. > Hello All, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Thank you in advance, > Paul Pure water is fine to drink. In fact that's what we are supposed to drink.

Meat is a good source of Iron as well as many other minerals: http://www.fcs.okstate.edu/food/nutrition/basics/nutrients/mineral-cont.h tm Most plant foods lack essential amino acids that you need to live, unless you eat one heck of a lot of soy!

Oh really!? Plant protein is *composed* of amino acids.

Plant protein is *composed* of amino acids. > Stop spreading Bullshit. <sigh> let's just say that meat is a more "efficient" source of ESSENTIAL amino acids! With the emphasis on the word ESSENTIAL. Lean animal tissue is pretty much composed of just pure amino acids. Plant tissue has some amino acids, but it's not their main component. Lack of essential amino acids can cause serious problems with intellect... as well as numerous other problems. I've known many a vegetarian with chronic skin problems. That's just one example. Of course one can always remain a vegetarian and just supplement them in pill form. ;-) SignatureOm.

You stated it in such a way that it was implied as a given FACT!

You get your calcium from milk if you drink milk idiot. If you do not drink milk then you don't get the calcium from it BECAUSE you don't drink it. Get it now? Incredible BS from a soy farmer rice farmer that wants to get some cash from milk. > Most people don't. The consumption of milk is lower than ever. And there are > many other good sources of calcium.

And more people are drinking soy and rice milk which is why that industry is going after milk. Mucho money involved rice farmer. I doubt that the "drink soy milk to prevent your lungs from getting glued", is the reason. >And more people are drinking soy and rice milk which is why that industry is >going after milk.

Looking forward to the campaign "drinking soy milk glues your lungs" :-) > > Hello All, > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > drink. > We are to get our minerals from food, specifically plants. Providing the soil the plants were grown in are not depleted of minerals... Plants don't create minerals. They absorb them so if the minerals are not in the soil, they won't be in the food plant. Meat has quite a few minerals in it. I get most of my minerals from supplements. ;-) It's soooo nice not to have sciatic pain anymore! SignatureOm.

They absorb them so if the minerals are not in the soil, they won't be in the food plant. Meat has quite a few minerals in it. << Meat animals can't create minerals, either, you know. Generally, plants need all the same minerals animals do, with a few notable imbalances (plants need more boron and less selenium, iron, and zinc in their cells than animals). In general, plants simply do not grow well in "mineral depleted soil," so it's not a big problem. Farmers replace minerals as needed to keep crop yields up. The plant tissue which does grow, is usually fine. Most of the hype about "mineral depleted soils" comes from people who want to sell you mineral pills. About the only mineral animals need that plants don't, is iodine. And cobalt, if you count B12. > Generally, plants need all the same minerals animals do, with a few > notable imbalances (plants need more boron and less selenium, iron, and [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > pills.

No opinion. I'd like to know who he is and why he thinks so. >> Hello All, >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > drink. > We are to get our minerals from food, specifically plants. What is wrong with getting minerals from water? While we get most of our minerals from plants and animals, I see no problem if we get minerals for water. Jeff >>Hello All, >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Pure water is fine to drink. In fact that's what we are supposed to > drink. Nonsense. There's virtually no pure water on earth outside of labs and factories set up for the purpose. Ground water *always* contains dissolved minerals. Rain water *always* contains particles filtered from air and airborne compounds dissolved as it falls. Think dirty auto windshields after a rain. Think acid rain. > We are to get our minerals from food, specifically plants. We get minerals from *everything* we eat. Pastorio Mineral contents in water can make it hard or soft OR alkaline or acidic. We drink lot of water. Think about effects of drinking, either more alkaline water or more acidic water. Water contains bacterias, bacterias contains many minerals & bio-chemicals. Many bacterias can be useful to us. Think about ingestion of these bacterias with normal water & non-ingestion by filtered or RO water. Foods may not contain few minerals which water may contain. Probably, fluoride, silicon, other trace elements. Think about these. Think about effect of taking normal & cold water. I am bit doubtful, whether tap water can also effects us on taking bath etc. specifically as per its mineral contents(which may probably be related to balancing of its drinking is same form--an alternative system's approach.) |
