Inorganic minerals not assimilated causes mineral deposits in the body. The minerals your body assimilates are in such trace amounts, you would need to drink 50 gallons of water for it to be of any significance. You would be better off drinking the 1 glass of carrot juice or 2 oz of wheat grass juice to assimilate the same amount of minerals. Only useless built-up mineral deposits forming kidney stones, arthritic spurring, joint thickening and possibly heart valve deposits and atherosclerosis are removed. We wouldn't recommend purchasing distilled water from a supermarket that is stored in a plastic container.
Many plastics give off toxins such as methyl chloride, a carcinogen which can leach into the water.
Glass or stainless steel containers or poly carbonate are recommended for storing distilled water. We wouldn't recommend storing distilled water in a plastic container. The purest and healthiest water is distilled water filtered through a post carbon filter and stored in a glass container. In the distillation process, water in the boiling tank comes to a boil, creating steam. The steam rises, leaving behind bacteria killed in the boiling process, as well as, chemicals, minerals and pollutants from the source water.
