Forget diarrhea, I was “taught” that drinking it *can kill you*

So, what you're saying is, if I don't inject my veins with distilled water I should be fine? Got it!

Distilled water distributed in plastic jugs is no longer distilled - it now contains microplastics

"due to its purity and lack of impurities"

We regularly buy a gallon of distilled water every three months for my mom's oxygen tanks/machine. Otherwise, the minerals found in tap and/or mineral water will corrode and clog the pipe in the humidifying cup.

So... no ones gonna talk about that "Aah" he made when pricking his finger? 💀

1:59 no way bro whimpered 💀

People talk about distilled water being dangerous, not knowing how much sodium we ingest daily

"distributed equally" the 3rd plate:

As someone who drinks distilled water regularly, I can tell you I'm very much alive and healthy.

As an ex-merchant mariner, I would like to point out that freshwater supplies on board were distilled from sea water, using waste heat from the main engine. On engine room watch, especially during Persian Gulf passages, we would consume several litres of this water. I never felt the need to inject it into my bloodstream.

I've been drinking water with less than 6ppm TDS for over 50 years. If I am offered tap water at a friend's house or at a food service I can taste the iron and minerals in the water. I have had no physical problems drinking pure water. Oh, I'm 83.

I admit I didn't go to medicine but only a school for nurses, but I am fairly certain that any kind of water in your bloodstream is pretty dangerous.

distilled water isnt great for you, because pure water naturally pulls minerals out. since it doesnt have the added minerals to counter that effect, it can actually pull essential minerals out of your body and into the water which is then peed out, so distilled water actually takes away nutrients instead of giving them.

Distilled water is fine. You get nutrients from food. Some countries have to drink distilled water because they don’t have natural freshwater

"You will drink the fluoride and eat the bugs"

If you have to say "isn't that shocking" it isn't that shocking.

Been drinking distilled water for over 62 years at this point in time with no signs of it being harmful. My HBG/HCT has been high for as long as I can remember except for about a month in January 2023 when we were trying to figure out why I was actively bleeding. Once we determined the cause of the bleeding and stopped it, my HGB/HCT returned to high levels. This indicates my red cells were not taking in excess water that was causing them to lyse. Reinforcing this is the fact that under the microscope, no schistocytes were seen therefore my red cells were not lysing. Also my blood chemistries over the years have shown no ill effects from me drinking distilled water. (BTW…I got my degree in laboratory science in 1979 and worked in a major hospital lab processing, testing, analyzing, and reporting results on blood and other bodily fluids for over 35 years. Therefore I am not just going by what a doctor told me, I using knowledge acquired from study, from practical application, and from experience. Where I live, we are required to have a set number of hours each year of continuing education to renew our state licenses that are required to work in our field in our state.) So I shall continue to drink distilled water for probably as long as it is available to me. As for the bit about distilled water “sucking” all the calcium out of your teeth over time…I still have all my permanent teeth except for my wisdom teeth as they grew in at a very painful angle and had to be removed. But then I swallow my water when it enters my mouth, I do not hold it in my mouth for my teeth to soak in.

So this video is basically all about telling people not to inject distilled water. Useful, it's such a common problem that is. What's the next video? How eating neutron stars can be hazardous to your health. 4 minutes and 1 second of my life I will never get back.

MY WHOLE family been drinking distilled water for years without issue. We get all the minerals we need from food. And plants that actually contain edible minerals as opposed to those in the soil.

I've primarily drank distilled water for years and I am an overall healthy person. I used to live in a place that had super high mineral content in the water and it caused several of my family members to get kidney stones. I've had some friends tell me some crazy stuff about the affects of drinking distilled water. I've been doing this for 20 years; you'll be fine. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet, have a Gatorade if out in the sun for some extra electrolytes.

"Injecting distilled water will harm you" Yeah, but so does regular freshwater, as it usually has a very low mineral content as well. Assuming it's clean in the first place. Or any saltwater of a higher concentration as demonstrated. It's kind of a "duh" point. Don't inject random stuff in your bloodstream. Now, what about drinking? Well, we absorb 95%+ of our mineral intake over our food. The amount of sodium chloride in a pack of chips can make a large bucket of water slightly salty. Assuming an average diet (which is usually rather TOO salty in western countries) drinking distilled water is literally irrelevant.

My grandpa talks about this when he was still alive. He says that distilled water is a dead water. No minerals at all. He is a very wise man, and a jack of all trades.

I used to drinking distilled water all the time. Never had an issue.

Needed minerals come from your food. Unless you're fasting with nothing but distilled water and not using electrolytes, (or injecting distilled water intravenously) you'll be fine.

Most tap water is much closer to distilled water in osmotic pressure than bodily fluids. It will have the same effect on blood cells, which is why IV is always done with an isotonic saline solution.

This seems like AI-generated content.

I've used distilled water to make coffee and the coffee maker never needs to have the heating elements "demineralized". Using distilled water for more than 30 years. I use my well water for a drink of water now and then.. Meats and vegetables provide minerals and salts.

"due to its purity and lack of impurities" Ah, right the poison, the poison for Kusco, the poison chosen specifically to kill Kusco, kuzco's poison.

Thats quite the watery fish

The hemolysis is why, in the hospital, when the goal is to hydrate only, or saline would be risky due to conditions such as HBP, we administer a glucose solution instead. (Just in case anyone was wondering :D)

1:58 You didnt have to leave in the moaning ya know Masochist 😂

Water doesn't have enough "impurities" in it to give your body any sort of suggested dose of... well, anything. Just eat some veggies. Rather, the reason I was taught distilled water is bad is because of how the purity and charge of it affects osmosis. This was explained back to me in a college chemistry class but that was like a decade ago so I'm fuzzy on the details and I'm not sure I can explain it *well*. It's not that it lacks essential minerals and such, its that your body is full of salt and minerals and drinking only distilled water can leech those out of your body since the distilled water wants to equalize with the water in your body. If you have a diet high in all of the vitamins and minerals your body needs this isn't a huge deal since the leech is slow and your body will replace the missing nutrients with new ones. The danger comes if your diet is very low in certain nutrients or minerals and the distilled water leeches it out. With nothing to replace it then you could put yourself at a health risk. Something about the distillation process makes it more reactive hence why other forms of pure water aren't as talked about. Though if you inject pure water into your blood in ANY form it's bad for you. If you want super pure water just drink filtered water. It's very nearly as pure and doesn't have the same properties.

Two interesting facts about distilled water: 1. It tastes good regardless of temperature. A friend of mine used to buy distilled water and he had a bottle of it in his car. After a game of soccer on a hot day, I was still thirsty, so I drank it. Normally, water that had been sitting in a plastic bottle on a hot day would be gross, but since it was distilled, it was gross. 2. The same friend was advised by a doctor to stop drinking dustilled water. It's not just that normal water provides you with minerals, but distilled water actually removes them from your system. It's not life-threatening or anything, but obviously we want more minerals, not less.

I drink it all the time since my childhood

I knew when I subbed to this channel when it had just 15k subscribers that it would make its way into YT, keep it up!

They speak of distilled water as thoughit somehow maintains the lack of minerals when it dilutes what's in your body. It's just clean water bro.

Distilled water is also called hungry water as it will absorb a lot of organic and inorganic materials. It's used in aircraft manufacturing and was a top secret process during and after WWII, for many years. Large sheets of aluminum is bathed in a large tank of "Hungry water" because it cleans the surface by absorbing everything from the sheetmetal including a thin layer of aluminum. This prevents corrosion from starting to quickly and allows cutting, forming and painting with a primer that will protect against corrosion.

I used to work in the desert heat, and occasionally someone would grab a gallon of distilled water off the supermarket shelf instead of drinking water or spring water. While i never saw this personally, i heard stories of people getting sick as a dog after drinking distilled water all day in the heat.

Ad blood to ordinary tap water as well and you will get the same effect as distilled water.

I’ve been reckoned distilled water from sparkles for 45 years. I give it to my dogs also and I have no health problems whatsoever. I’m extremely healthy and sparkles distilled water comes in the hard plastic bottles which does not leach plastic.

All we drink is distilled water. We have been drinking it for about 14 years now. You don’t need minerals and salts from your water. You should be getting it from vegetables and fruits not your water. Distilled water helps to flush out and break down inorganic minerals. It’s way healthier than regular water.

Ummmm ... it's not like we dump it directly into our veins intravenously ...

For many years I've been drinking distilled water... Not exclusively tho. I must be dead

In India we drink water from clay mud made pots and its tastes so good and also quenchs our thirts in one sip itself. I use to drink filtered water but it was unable to quench my thirst then one day I drank that clay mud pot water in just one sip my thirst was qenched and also that tasted so good and also cold and my body felt nice and also heat in my body reduced. really go back to nature we humans should learn this it's really beneficial. These companies want to make money by showing all that plastic water in us and earn millions. They are the real culprits. They made us weak.

We use distilled water for my husband's CPAP machine, which is absolutely necessary. People need to understand the difference.

I drank a gallon of Distilled water a day for 6 months and I stopped because everyone told me it was bad. I just liked the taste of it. I had no issue with it everyone else did

A simple google search says this is false. Distilled water is **NOT** pure, as it contains ions. These are mostly hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Once deionized and distilled, water can in fact, be dangerous. Distilled water is not. If you ever had a juice, soda, or drink that's bottled (such as Coca-Cola) you're drinking distilled water with the flavorings. Distilled water dehydrates you like like soda and alcohol. Tap (drinking) water contain things like sodium, calcium, and magnesium. These are electrolytes that are replaced as the water flows through your system. For a better abstraction: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrOYZM-qyrTXgJc.htmlsi=1Vyqt4JnyO4G96Et

2:10 with this i realised it was about osmosis

It can hardly be truly distilled water once it is placed in a plastic container only if placed into glass containers.

Why leave out tap water in your experiment?

My grandma loves using it for her coffee and I always found it weird

I don't drink plain water, I only drink juice, and sometimes sparkling mineral water.

We studied when do cells shrink or burst 2 years ago in biology when I was 18. I'd like to add that you can see the animal cell shrinking, but you can't really see the plant cell shrinking because it's covered with a cellwall. Only the cytoplasm inside the wall shrinks, which we can't see. (I'm not talking about blood cells.)

What exactly did this video teach us. Nothing. Yes if you put a drop or gallon of blood in distilled water the distilled water will shrink the red blood cells. But if you drink the distilled water your body chemistry will equalize the distilled water. Just ask yourself would you rather drink water with all kinds of chemicals added to it or drink an uncontaminated water. Personally I have a water still and make iced tea, lemonade, coffee and just drink distilled water. The iced tea looks better and tastes better, the coffee tastes much better.

Even drinking water is illegal now.

I love the video, and i love even more that he only say "if you like the video, like and subscribe" on the end, which don't disrupt the flow of the video, gained a sub

My grandpa drank distilled water all the time, all day (distilled in a home distiller, not some chemistry lab thing). He lived to 91. I'm definitely not saying it was a good idea; he did a lot of weird things.

welp your explanation for the experiment is a bit off the point normal water can also cause blood cell to burst and thats what we called "water poisoning"🤷 but usually overdose water is very hard to achieve tho🙈

I thought this was Action Lab for a sec.

Saline is salt water by definition. Your experiment would have been interesting to have tested saline, tap water, and distilled water. The results with tap water would have probably been indistinguishable from those with distilled water.

I think it is important to mention that if you have some ulcer or wound in your digestory system, the distiled water could enter your bloodstream, causing the mentioned effects.

Your body pulls in the majority of calcium from fluids (Milk and Mineralized water) which is more readily absorbed than from food. I work with water utilities here in Florida and many of the coastal utilities have to use Reverse Osmosis plants to remove salt, thus like distilled it's almost pure water which will cause decalcification in your bones. Typically the utilities will mix the R.O. water with water from inland plants to get minerals back in the water. Florida's bedrock is almost entirely limestone which results in high calcium levels. CLR is a mainstay for cleaning faucet aerators here which clog up with calcium deposits rather quickly. If you get a water softener it's usually shot after five years from calcium saturation as well. Osteoporosis is a very real condition in people as they age (Especially Women) which is why hip fractures are so common among elderly folks. Drinking de-mineralized water can cause early onset, astronauts are also vulnerable to this when in weightless environments for long periods as well as muscle atrophy.

We live in jordan where tap water is dirty so we drink only distilled water i have been drinking it for more than 5 years nothing has happend

Too be fair, lots of things start getting dangerous once they enter the bloodstream

There's a difference in marketed "distilled" water and Deionized water. Distilled water is safe to drink. Deionized water will rip salts out of your cells through osmosis.

Less than 1000 views in 2 hr ,this make me sad ,may you grow again😢

distilled water burst the cell wall of Red Blood Cells

my cats vet actually prescribed distilled water instead of tap water to help with a kidney problem. fixed him right up. i guess it helps disolve some of the urea salt deposits that can cause bladder and kidney blockages

When I was in the Army, we used to have to put distilled water in the batteries for humvee’s. I’d never heard of distilled water before and when I asked, all I was told was “Never drink distilled water under any circumstance. Ever!” Blows my mind I see people grabbing distilled water from the store as drinking water.

I've gone years drinking ONLY distilled water and guess what - I've never felt better in my entire life and my mental clarity is through the roof. Rain water is distilled water. The examples demonstrated in the video mixing blood with different water types are bad examples because water doesn't go directly into the bloodstream, it passes through organs, excess is discarded, etc. Ignore all that advice which says "you should be drinking X amount of water per day" - only drink when you are naturally thirsty, your body will let you know how much you need to drink. Leeches nutrients from the body? You don't want those nutrients found in water to begin with when you should be getting nutrients from natural foods, not rocks, etc. Why is it so beneficial? Water is like pipe cleaner for the body and it's only going to be effective as it is clean - if it already has a certain ppm of whatever in it, it's not going to be able to remove ppm of whatever toxins you have in your body to the same degree. I haven't had distilled water in some time due to being in africa for some years (other than rain water), but I can't wait to return to it.

I'm sorry but I'm not drinking my chlorine filled tap water, it smells so bad you will gag from it because the chemicals are that fuckin strong, so I'm choosing bottled water any day.

All the necessary minerals are also present in your food, which are absorbed though the walls of the large intestine, along with any water you drank.

I drink distilled water exclusively if I can help it. My body should get its minerals from my food, and the distilled water will help that.

fishy channel

I’ve been drinking distilled water for over 10 years with no side effects

I’ve been drinking distilled water for ten years and that’s the only water I drink. And I haven’t experienced any of these problems.🧐

I have drank and cooked with distilled water for almost 30 years with no problems, I noticed that ice cubes are really clear,always bought them in plastic containers

According to your test, your telling us to drink saline or salt water instead of distilled.

We had to replace an old demineralised water tank at work, so to save money, the company thought that a concrete tank would be more suitable than stainless steel. Within 3 months of it being constructed, it started leaking. The inside of the tank looked like it had been melted by acid. The demineralised water had dissolved the cement in the concrete. We ended up replacing the tank with the original stainless steel design, but if simple demineralised water can do that to concrete, imagine what distilled water can do to you over time. It literally leaches the minerals out of you. Distilled water is as bad as drinking raw seawater, they're just opposite ends of the same scale...don't do it.

I buy distilled water for my kettle. The tap water in my area is really hard, so I use distilled water so I don’t have to wash my kettle with vinegar.

Simple solution is put a small amount of Himalayan salt in the water. Not enough to make it salt water but enough to remineralize it

The only thing I've heard about distilled water is that you need to drink it immediately after opening the bottle. Otherwise it starts reacting to the atmosphere and starts to taste bad. I didn't believe it, but it did go from "this is pretty good" to "this tastes weird" to "im just going to pour this out" over the course of an afternoon.

this video is something great.. it provides knowledge to brainless 😂😂

RN from '78 to 2015. All areas. I've been distilling and drinking pure water for eight years due to autoimmune diseases. Getting a reverse osmosis machine was too expensive and nothing else would get fluoride out. Anyway, I'm still here. I put a pinch of pink Himalayan salt per gallon. From what I've researched it may predispose you to GERD but so far so good. I too was taught in nsg. school not safe to drink but I did research and talked to others who had done it for years. A couple of years after I started I casually mentioned it to my internal medicine physician and he shrugged.

For cleaning wounds that were deep (blood and tissue present) where no other solution could be used I always preferred Saline over distilled or filtered/clean water.

If drinking distilled water is so bad for you, why does the Creator use it to replenish the Earth every single day?

lots of misinformed comments here. doesn't help that the video didn't really reinforce the important takeaways enough. As the video said, Pure Water is not good for long term consumption, as it's missing some minerals that your body needs but doesn't really get from other sources (unless you have some weirdass diet to replace them, but that's really backwards). The real issue is with Pure Water having too low of a concentration of solutes. Some people in the comments have pointed out that Pure Water can "take away" solutes from your body. While this is somewhat true, it is only happening to a very negligible degree. As the video pointed out, it's the fact that Pure Water will inflate cells (ANY cells, not just blood cells!) and cause them to explode that makes it dangerous. Thing is, any excessive amount of water (of ANY kind! even normal tap water) can cause that, as too much water will dilute the solutions in your body enough to cause the effect from above. BTW this is what causes water poisoning. The danger of Pure Water is that due to it's purity, it takes less water to dilute solutions in your body. If drinking an entire bottle of tap water makes you feel sick, then drinking pure water will take less than that. Because relatively small doses of Pure Water are enough to cause a water overdose aka water poisoning, it is stated to be dangerous. As for causing diarrhea, yes, that's a known effect of water poisoning. So yeah, Pure Water can cause diarrhea if you overdose on it, but that's the least of your worries if you reach that point lol (headaches, vomiting, nausea, permanent damage to the brain, organ failure, and death, make the competition pretty harsh in my opinion).

I have never heard that it would cause Diarrhea. I was always told the water would strip your body of some minerals that it needed in order to fix itself, like the water was drinking YOU for nutrients. Or at least, something along those lines.

Where are your sources on this? Mind providing some links or guiding me towards which source you got this info from?

Fun fact: pure water does not freeze at 32 degrees F. It freezes at -55 degrees F.

It's pure water. 😂😂😂 And you said inorganic material that literally means the crap they add. This is pure propaganda.

At least I was partially right. I've always said that tap water has a certain amount of minerals dissolved in it to balance out the inherent charge. When drunk distilled water will try to claim back the minerals from you.

Water is a solvent, you use it to clean the outside of your body. I use distilled water to clean the inside of mine.

The water in my town tastes like dirt anywhere you go, but when you go to a neighbouring town the water tastes nothing. So I need a waterfilter to be able to drink it even though it is supposed to be fine

Electrolytes, it's what plants crave.

I had always thought distilled water caused diarrhea, and I never drank. Then one time I bled into a jug of it, and saw the blood almost vanish. I was glad I never drank. Subbed!

It's so interesting what distilled water can do to you. I once had a student in my chemistry class asked this and I explained the impacts of drinking pure water and why they should not. And a little fun fact about how our bottled waters that are fit for consumption is actually not pure H2O but a solution of dissolved essential minerals. He was a bit confused and said that "it's funny. So contaminated water is bad, so we purify it. And then contaminate it again so that we can drink it." Still sticks with me till today

I've been drinking distilled water for two years. Bought a water distiller for my cat who had kidney failure, and he lived an entire year beyond what the vet expected. I knew to give him distilled water because I had a coworker who had kidney issues as well, and his doctor told him to drink only distilled.
