Comment on Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water
TheSaneWriter@lemmy.thesanewriter.com 1 year agoYou're correct to an extent, but water is still a very useful source of minerals. Potassium, calcium, magnesium, and fluoride are all minerals and salts that we primarily get from water, and thus distilled water can cause a person to become deficient in these elements (Source).

primarily? That’s an exaggeration.
the list goes on and on. Yes, you’re right, if you drink distilled water, you have to pay attention to deficiency but it’s not a big deal. Water, unless it’s enriched artificially, has traces of these minerals.
