It gets even worse. Because reverse osmosis water doesn’t have enough minerals, when it’s consumed, it leaches minerals from the body. This means that the minerals being consumed in vitamins and food and are being urinated away which can cause serious negative side effects and big health problems.
In a scientific study performed to see if minerals consumed in food can make up for the lack of minerals in reverse osmosis water, scientists concluded that “reduced mineral intake from water was not compensated by their diets…low-mineral water was responsible for an increased elimination of minerals from the body.”
