What are the health hazards in drinking demineralised water?

Question

Can we drink demineralised water? If we drink whether it will affect Kidney? If so how?

Answer 1

No.
Deinonised water is water that has had mineral ions removed by ion exchange resin treatment. The water is almost as pure as distilled water, which causes no harm from drinking it.
No harm, providing you get the trace minerals from other sources. Such required mineralsas calcium, potassium, some sodium, magneium , some iron, trace amounts of copper, zinc, minute amounts of selenium etc.
Other sources, of required dietary minerals, are a balanced diet, and vitamin plus minerals tablets. The latter supplemnt is highly recommended because the trace minerals in the tablet are balanced and all are present. The government R.D.I. (recommended daily intake), levels were never high enough (& were raised 2 or 3 years ago.) Also our efficiency of mineral absorption drops off after age 40 and we need more minerals in our diet to make up for it.
Some "spring waters" have so little dissolved mineral ions in them that they are close to being deinonised water.
In fact, many spring water bottles contain water that does not come from springs, at all, but are deionised ground water or even tap water.
Drinking distilled water which is purer than even deionised water causes no harm, therefor the similar,deionised water would not cause harm either.
