Re: A few thoughts on water...

This online article excerpt sums up the theories that I have heard. It may help clarify some of the theories in a little more depth, although there are no scientific citings.

“However, neither reverse osmosis, nor distilled water, are the healthiest water that one can obtain. Although both are pure from a chemical point of view, neither is biologically active. Findings by scientist Dr. Paul Kouchakoff, a leading researcher in the field, have shown that distilled water, because it has been boiled at high temperatures, has lost its crystalline structure, and actually acts like a foreign body inside us, stimulating a pathological increase in white blood cell count!

The healthiest water is biologically active, or structured water. Structured water either already contains, or has the capacity to hold, more energy than distilled water or water that has gone through reverse osmosis. Researchers have found that the bond angle of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms in structured water is different than that of processed water.”
