According to Dr. Batmanghalid _Your Body’s Cry For Water_,
the need is about one half ounce per pound of body weight per day.
This seems like a lot to me but what I found is that once I started
drinking this much, I got used to it and became thirsty more often.
Dr. Batman (I’m sure some of our flamers will have fun with that name)
says you can’t count tea, coffee, soft drinks, etc. Even seltzer has
chemicals in it. Try to get pure water.
Try this "diet" for a few days and see what effects
it has on you. The price is right.
No I do not work for the water company!

I disagree with not counting other beverages. It is (probably) better
just to drink water, but tea, coffee, soda, etc. are mostly water and so
you are rehydrating when you drink them.
BTW, just for informational purposes: do NOT drink distilled water! It
can kill you.

Leslie, I’d like to know where you heard that distilled water can kill
you. I have never heard of such a thing. I do not personally drink
distilled water because it lacks minerals and tastes like nothing, but
have never heard that it could kill you. I have heard that it can leach
minerals from your body, but I’m not so sure about that.
BTW, coffee, tea, and other caffeinated beverages (ie: coke, mountain
dew, pepsi…) do not rehydrate the body at all. In fact, they do the
opposite. Caffeine is a diuretic, as is alcohol. So if you are counting
any of these beverages towards your water intake, you are defeating the
purpose of what you’re trying to do in the first place.

Crappola, Leslie. I’ve been drinking distilled water for years (after
putting it though a charcoal filter). There is absolutely no medical or
physiological reason not to. The taste is pretty good, too, contrary
to conventional wisdom. It doesn’t taste like springwater, of course,
but it tastes like rain or fresh snowmelt runnoff. For obvious reasons.

Every year one or more people die from drinking ONLY distilled water
(often high school students who have just learned about distilled water
and think since it is pure water, it must be the best water). Your body
needs electrolytes to function; when considerable amounts of distilled
water are consumed, your cells lyce (sp?) i.e. explode. This is due to
the fact that the electrolyte concentration outside the cell is not close
to that inside the cell. Your body tries to correct this imbalance and
due to the nature of osmosis in cell membranes, the electrolytes can’t
get out of the cell, so it tries to dilute the concentration inside the
cell by adding water. It will continue to add water until the membrane
bursts. If enough cells disintigrate, death will result. (see any
physical chemistry text on osmosis or basic biochem texts)
When I was in college, one of our TA’s died this way.

OK, but not all teas, coffees, etc. are caffeinated. Alcohol, in
addition to being a diuretic, also undergoes a chemical reaction with
water to form esters, which further dehydrates you (that’s why people
with hangovers have dry mouth).

Something doesn’t sound quite right about this. Suppose you were stranded on
a deserted island with no source of fresh water (not even rain) but had a very
large supply of Pepsi and solid food. Would you die of dehydration?

It is true that we need electrolytes to survive. It is also true
that cells placed in a very hypoosmolar solution will lyse.
Were the people who died injecting the distilled water into their
veins and/or not eating anything else (most foodstuffs contain
plenty of electrolytes). Otherwise your theoretical scenario
would be about as likely as a snowballs chance in hell. Did
you say you were a chemist? I would suggest studying some
physiology if I were you.
: When I was in college, one of our TA’s died this way.
And who may this diagnosis? There is a very rare condtion called
pathologic water intoxication which can lead to death but this
occurs from drinking several gallons of water a day.

The point IS is that beverages that contain caffeine ARE diuretics
and cannot be counted toward rehydration. So your blanket statement
that coffee and tea could be counted toward rehydration, without
qualifying it by saying decaffeinated coffee and tea, is incorrect.
And when people generically refer to coffee and tea they are
USUALLY referring to the caffeinated ones.

Yep, and you get all you need from your food. Food is a far more
important source of every electrolyte than water. The only
major electrolyte which water ever helps supplement much is magnesium,
and even here food is by far the most important contributer.

Nonsense. This happens to porous red blood cells if you put them in
distilled water, but not the very well structurally-reinforced and
non-porous cells lining your mucous membranes and GI tract. In any
case, the difference in osmotic load between distilled water and many
tapwaters is trivial. Body osmolality is about 280 milliosmols, and
your average springwater might run 20 or 30. The difference between
there and zero, so far as you cells care, is nothing. Blood cells lyse
just as well in tapwater– I’ve done this experiment for myself.

Again, somebody showed you this for RBCs, and now you think it’s the way
there rest of the body opperates. It isn’t. Gut epithelial cells
actually have very few channels for water to enter along the osmotic
gradient. Most water you drink enters your bloodsteam not though cells,
but through pores in in the tight junctions between epithelial cells.
And the rate of this is strictly controlled by the number of pores, not
by the osmolality difference. Even with a max osm difference between
what you drink and your blood, the influx of pure water from gut to
blood is not fast enough to hemolyze your blood.
> If enough cells disintigrate, death will result. (see any
>physical chemistry text on osmosis or basic biochem texts)
Indeed, see Guyton, which will tell you how the entire process works.
No text will tell you that drinking distilled water is harmful, unless
of course you drink gallons and eat no salt. But even beer without
pretzels can cause hyponatremia if you do that. Or hard tapwater, which
is also low in sodium, drunk in large quantities without any food.
>When I was in college, one of our TA’s died this way.
I doubt it. If he died of water intoxication, it wasn’t due to
distilled water per se. It was due to too much water, and too little
food/salt.
>>BTW, coffee, tea, and other caffeinated beverages (ie: coke, mountain
>>dew, pepsi…) do not rehydrate the body at all. In fact, they do the
>>opposite. Caffeine is a diuretic, as is alcohol.
It’s a diuretic, but not enough to completely make up for the water
content. If you were out in the desert and had nothing but cold coffee,
you’d be well advised to drink it. Same with beer. With wine, and
certainly with distilled spirits, you would indeed probably be worse
off.
>>Alcohol, in >addition to being a diuretic, also undergoes a chemical
reaction with >water to form esters, which further dehydrates you<<
Sorry, but I need to see a chemical reaction diagram for that. Esters
are formed from alcohols and organic acids, not alcohol and water.
> (that’s why people
>with hangovers have dry mouth).
Nah, they have dry mouth due to the simple dehydration from drinking
things that are too high in alcohol content. Beer hangovers are not
nearly so bad in this regard as those from other alcoholic drinks.

The osmotic difference between distilled water and tap or spring water
is physiologically insignificant. No one gets their electrolytes from
the water they drink, anyway!

Correct. With the possible exception of some supplemental magnesium.
I have explained in a private letter to this writer that her theory
predicts that if you pour distilled water over the corneas or the tongue
or the inside of the cheek, that after a bit of being bathed in a stream
of this pure water the cells will osmotically explode and your
mucosal tissue will slough away to reveal a raw burned under-layer,
which will itself osmotically lyse, and so on. Nasty. But since
nothing of the kind happens (and yes, kids, Doc Harris says you CAN try
this experiment at home!), then some theories need rethinking.
Steve Harris, M.D.
P.S. If you pour distilled water into an open wound it DOES hurt,
although it’s not exactly osmotic "acid". The pain is indeed from
osmotic damage, since saline is not nearly so painful. But this just
illustrates the osmotic toughness of the mucous membranes, such as line
the gut. Also, it demonstrates that even exposed tissue is osmotically
much tougher than RBCs. You can pour distilled water in a wound all you
want, and you won’t do that much damage.

I haven’t done this experiment but it is possible that something in the
Pepsi (sugar, phosphoric acid, caffeine, …) would prevent your body
from properly flushing itself out. To drink nothing but soft drinks
is a tremendous sugar load. The P may also have something to do with low
Calcium levels. I have no certain answers on this one but we evolved
drinking water not all these amazing concoctions and there is some evidence
that too much sugar is no good. And artificial sweeteners may be worse!
Isn’t this discouraging.

Yes, I will admit that if I was stranded on a desert island with only
pepsi to drink, I would drink it just to stay alive. You are right, it
does have H2o in it, so it would keep you alive…but the caffeine in it
is a diuretic.
The point is that if you are trying to be healthy by drinking a certain
amount of H2O per day, don’t count soft drinks, coffee and tea as part of
your H2O. Water flushes you out, pepsi just puts more crap in your body.
It will not rehydrate you to the extent that water will because of the
caffeines dehydrating affect.

OK so the odds of dying in a given year by "drinking ONLY distilled
water" are about 1 in tens or hundreds of thousands. (I don’t have the
statistics on how many people drink distilled water on a regular basis
handy, but I’m sure that in a world with over 4 or 5 billion people in
it there are probably quite a few.) Now lets see you compare that to
how many people die from drinking from contaminated non-distilled
water supplies.

We should drink 6-8 cups of water a day inorder to flush out the wastes,
toxins. I have an article written by a MD on water consumption. I will
try and post it in a little while.

I always assumed that the "wastes" that we are trying to get rid of come
from metabolism…ie:metabolic wastes. The body metabolizes many
different thing, fat, protein, glucose, drugs, environmental toxins, etc…
It seems that in addition to adequately hydrating the body, that H2O
would be useful in flushing out these metabolic wastes. The cells need
adequate H2O to hydrate and to carry away these wastes.

This is an interesting idea, it fits my family history. My
father’s mother had psoratic RA , and my father has psoratic lesions and
RA, I am gluten intolerant and my youngest son is gluten intolerant, I do
not have psorasis but my son does. Since I have quit eating gluten
products completely I do not have the back pain or the finger joint pain I
useto have. My father doesn’t want to even think he might be gluten
intolerant, but he has been able to heal up his skin and fingernail
lesions with a combination carrot and cucumber and fruit juice
