Dangers of Reverse osmosis (RO) water
Consuming reverse osmosis (RO) water for even a few months can create serious side effects, warns WHO.
It has been scientifically confirmed that drinking reverse osmosis water causes more bodily harm and faster than most contaminants found in tap water.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems to purify water are in use extensively. Besides the aqua companies that market RO water personal water purifiers are also preferred by many households. RO system off course removes water impurities. But they also remove 92-99% of beneficial calcium and magnesium!
After analysing hundreds of scientific studies concerning RO water, the World Health Organization states that such water has a definite adverse influence on the animal and human organism.
Side effects, even after just a few months
What is alarming is the fact that consuming RO water for even just a few months can create serious side effects. South Africa population who used reverse osmosis water developed various health complaints suggestive of acute magnesium (and possibly calcium) deficiency within several weeks or months. Among the complaints were cardiovascular disorders, tiredness, weakness or muscular cramps.
Dietary minerals do not compensate the lack of minerals in RO water
Osmosis water which doesn’t contain enough minerals, when consumed, leaches minerals from the body. This means that the minerals being consumed in food and vitamins are being urinated away.
Less minerals consumed plus more minerals being excreted causes 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 RO water, scientists concluded that reduced mineral intake from water was not compensated by their diets. Low-mineral water was responsible for an increased limination of minerals from the body.
Negative effect on homeostasis mechanisms
Consumption of RO water leads to the dilution of the electrolytes dissolved in the body water. Inadequate body water redistribution between compartments may compromise the function of vital
organs. Side effects at the very beginning of this condition include tiredness, weakness and headache; more severe symptoms are muscular cramps and impaired heart rate. Long-term consumption of acidic filtered water devoid of essential elements produced by RO filters is unhealthy.
Risk factor for many diseases
Recent studies suggest that RO water may be a risk factor for hypertension and coronary heart disease, gastric and duodenal ulcers, chronic gastritis, goitre, pregnancy complications and several complications in new-borns and infants, including jaundice, anaemia, fractures and growth disorders.
Use of RO water for cooking causes substantial losses of all essential elements
When used for cooking, RO water was found to cause substantial losses of all essential elements from food (vegetables, meat, cereals). Such losses may reach up to 60 % for magnesium and calcium or even more for some other micro-elements (e.g., copper 66 %, manganese 70 %, cobalt 86 %). In contrast, when mineralized water is used for cooking, the loss of these elements is much lower, and in some cases, even higher calcium content was reported in food as a result of cooking.
Addition of minerals to remineralise the RO water will not be optimum
According to the World Health Organization the practice of adding minerals back into the reverse osmosis water could not be considered optimum, since the water does not contain all of its beneficial components. In the case of borderline deficiency of a given element, even the relatively low intake of the element with drinking water may play a relevant protective role. It is practically impossible to recreate natural water with all of its minerals and trace elements from RO treated water.
Cleaning water with 'smart rust' and magnets
Recent recommendations
More recent studies have provided additional information about minimum and optimum levels of minerals that should be available in demineralised water.
Magnesium- a minimum of 10 mg/L and an optimum of about 20-30 mg/L
Calcium- a minimum of 20 mg/L and an optimum of about 50 (40-80) mg/L
Total water hardness- the sum of calcium and magnesium should be 2 to 4 mmol/L
At these concentrations, minimum or no adverse health effects were observed.
Besides the adverse effects described above RO systems also waste 70-80 per cent of water during filtration. This ‘reject’ water is saline as it has a higher concentration of chemical contaminants and is of no use for any other purpose.
Alternative to RO systems - BUT is not HEALTHY for you body.
Boiling
Proper boiling must be ensured. Let the water steam and churn for a couple of minutes. However, the chemical contamination present in water is not completely eliminated by boiling. Furthermore, boiling may not always be possible anytime in any situation due to lack of heat source or shortage of fuel or electricity.
Chlorine
Pour four drops of liquid bleach in one liter of water; 8 drops in per half gallon; and 16 drops in per gallon of water. Let it rest for at least half an hour to make the water drinkable. Excessive chlorine can be dangerous to health and must maintain some caution.
Iodine
Pour 5 drops of iodine in per liter of clean water. Add some extra few drops if the water is cloudy. Let it rest for at least half an hour before it is suitable to drink. Iodine is more effective if the water temperature is more than 21 degrees Celsius. However, iodine does not kill all 100% of the pathogens present in water.
South Africa-
Everyone knows that Reverse Osmosis (RO) filters or systems excel at removing water impurities, but few are aware that they also remove beneficial minerals. In fact, the reverse osmosis process removes 92-99% of beneficial calcium and magnesium. In addition, it removes an even greater amount of trace elements. So what's the big deal?
After analyzing hundreds of scientific studies concerning demineralized or reverse osmosis water, scientists released a report stating that such water "has a definite adverse influence on the animal and human organism."
Consumers have been so concerned with removing as many things from water as possible that they have forgotten to ask if the resulting water improves health or causes health problems. It's assumed that no contaminants equal better health, but there is more to healthful water than a lack of contaminants, as the report points out.
Serious side effects in just a few months.
What is alarming is that consuming reverse osmosis water for even a few months can create serious side effects. "The effects of most chemicals commonly found in drinking water manifest themselves after long exposure." However, "only a few months exposure may be sufficient 'consumption time effects' from water that is low in magnesium and/or calcium."
The quick and widespread deployment of reverse osmosis systems in these populations provided a unique opportunity to study their health effects. "Various health complaints suggestive of acute magnesium (and possibly calcium) deficiency were reported within several weeks or months. Among these complaints were cardiovascular disorders, tiredness, weakness, and muscular cramps." Again, these severe side effects appear within several weeks or months.
It gets worse.
Because reverse osmosis water doesn't have enough minerals, it also leaches minerals from the body. As a result, the mineral content of food and vitamins are urinated away. Fewer minerals consumed, plus more minerals excreted, equals serious side effects and significant 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.
"It has been adequately demonstrated that consuming water of low mineral content has a negative effect on homeostasis mechanisms, compromising the mineral and water metabolism in the body." Consumption of reverse osmosis water "leads to the dilution of the electrolytes dissolved in the body water. Inadequate body water redistribution between compartments may compromise the function of vital organs.
Side effects at the very beginning of this condition include tiredness, weakness and headache; more severe symptoms are muscular cramps and impaired heart rate.
Lots of companies in South Africa claims that their water is full of minerals - but if you look at the labels it's far to low.
Since the adverse side effects of reverse osmosis water were scientifically confirmed, one popular trend is adding minerals back into the reverse osmosis water.
On this trend, scientists stated that "possibly none of the commonly used ways of re-mineralization could be considered optimum, since the water does not contain all of its beneficial components. In the case of borderline deficiency of a given element, even the relatively low intake of the element with drinking water may play a relevant protective role."
Recreating natural water with all its minerals and trace elements from reverse osmosis water is practically impossible.
So why risk the side effects of reverse osmosis water in any form if healthful alternatives are available?
