The following site recommends 1/4 tsp per quart of water (and that concentration seems *very* high!): [watercure.com] Thanks for any comments. * * * Re: Drinking Water

Date: July 22, 2008 02:47PM It looks like this site is written under the school of thought that thinks that drinking lots and lots of water is good for you. I think that may be more appropriate for a SAD diet since people aren't getting water from the foods they are eating. If you drink as much water as the site recommends, you're probably flushing out a lot of stuff that your body otherwise needs, including sodium.
Just my take on it. Re: Drinking Water

Date: July 22, 2008 02:49PM I would think so as well. I have used either distilled or RO water for many years.
Nevertheless, I have noticed that a slight pinch of sea salt (nothing close to 1/4 teaspoon per quart, however) cuases the water to go down more smoothly with less of a "bite". It's certainly difficult for me to believe that such a high concentration of sodium in drinking water would be recommended when one of the principal problems for many westerners is the high intake of salt. But we are composed of a saline solution, of course, and there must be a reason that this recommendation is given (i.e., even if the reasoning might be faulty). *** Re: Drinking Water

Date: July 23, 2008 02:50AM Salt is inorganic, it hasn't been processed by a plant to make usable to living beings. So eating salt is like eating dirt - useless. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
