text: Distilled water is an active absorber, and when it makes contact with air, it quickly absorbs carbon dioxide and becomes acidic (carbon dioxide and water form carbonic acid)
text: As for Dr. Mercola’s claim that distilled water is an active absorber and therefore absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, which turns into carbonic acid and makes the water highly acidic, that is again “potentially” true.
text: (Remember, distilled water absorbs carbon dioxide from the air.)
text: If distilled water is not sealed correctly, it can easily absorb carbon dioxide.
text: There is some evidence that distilled water does absorb carbon dioxide when exposed to air, and this could conceivably lower the pH to a more acidic level.
text: Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic.
text: Caution must be taken, however, as distilled water exposed to air will quickly absorb carbon dioxide and produce carbonic acid.
