what will happen if we drink highly pure water?

As long as you eat and drink normally, nothing should happen. If you drank deionized water without consuming anything else for a very extended period of time... significant amounts of your cells would probably rupture. Your body maintains an ionic strength equilibrium, that is maintained through the process of osmosis. If the environment outside your cells becomes decreased in ions, water will flow into the cell across your cell membrane to maintain the ionic balance. If too much water is taken up into the cells, they explode. However, it would take quite a while to deplete your ionic store so low to cause this to happen on a large scale. If deionized water were introduced directly into your, say, bloodsteam... then the local environment around your blood cells would be so low in ions as to cause your blood cells to rupture... This is why you will see saline solutions, not water, pumped into people in the hospital to keep them hydrated. \n\nConversely, if you drink sea water, you rapidly overload your extracellular fluids with salts, increasing the ionic strenth outside your cells. Water flows out of your cells to balance the ions, and your cells literally dry up. Since your body used water to flush excess ions from your system to avoid a build-up, when your only way to replace that water is to add huge amounts of ions, that requires more water to flush out than you are  taking in... well... you "dry up" and die. That is why you should NEVER drink sea water.\n\n:-)

You really should see a doctor but Kidney-Well II has some rave reviews. Don't try drinking 14 litres of water a day. Drinking water at every opportunity can cause serious problems, such as hyponatraemia or water intoxication. As the water content of the blood increases, the salt content is diluted. Consequently the amount of salt available to body tissues decreases, which can lead to problems with brain, heart and muscle function.  An average adult should consume 2½ litres of water per day. This intake needs to be increased during periods of hot weather or during and after periods of physical activity.

That is why I only trust on tap water from home with a system that would remove most or allchemicals and metals in the water. Others have bacteria and metals that make you become poisoned, damage your nerves or make you ill.

Pure water.  The ice will have to melt before it could boil.  Water doesn't go through sublimation

Tap water contains inpurities, so it will impact both of the temperatures... but since it is MOSTLY pure, meaning the amount of inpurities are very small, it is almost negligible.  I just mention this as you said "EXACTLY"...\n\nKeep in mind though, 0C and 100C assumes EXACTLY 1 atmosphere of air pressure, which we never have....

one generally uses pure water as a base point. other liquids are typically refrenced as lighter or heavier than water.

actually, pure water does not have a pH of 7.0, it is slightly acidic, around 5.6-5.8 from what i have seen at work.

Hi,\nThe answer is yes. Water dilutes the acid in your stomach. That's why it's not a good idea to drink water while you are eating. Because the water dilutes the stomach acid, it means your food doesn't get digested properly.

Heavy water is deuterium oxide, or D2O or 2H2O. Its physical and chemical properties are similar to those of light water, H2O, but the hydrogen atoms are of the heavy isotope deuterium, in which the nucleus contains a neutron in addition to the proton found in the nucleus of the hydrogen atom. This isotopic substitution alters the bond energy of the hydrogen-oxygen bond in water, altering the physical and chemical properties of the substance. Gilbert Newton Lewis isolated the first sample of pure heavy water in 1933.\n\nNow D20 tastes almost exactly like H20. However, seeds will not sprout in heavy water, and when rats are given heavy water exclusively, they die of thirst although glutted with water.\n\nHeavy water present in ordinary water has been found to be extremely harmful to living organisms in many ways. For example, if a chemical reaction in a cell produces as much energy as it consumes, then the cells will become self-sustaining, neither growing nor dying. This level is referred to as critical mass and is analogous to the approximate age of 20 in human terms. This is the age when the body is most stable and physically perfected.\n\nHowever, deuterium oxide causes cellular metabolism to operate at reduced rates because its higher atomic weight slows down chemical reactions. In our cells, this dampening effect is the equivalent of aging (and eventual death) and begins naturally after the age of about 20. Deuterium accelerates the effect, leading to cellular putrefaction.\n\nGiven that we absorb heavy water by drinking and bathing (two thirds of our bodily water is absorbed through the skin), in the ratio of 1 drop for every 6000 drops of ordinary water, we see that such an accumulation would cause definite negative effects in the body. And unlike short-lived laboratory test animals, our longevity makes us increasingly vulnerable to cellular aging.\n\nIn addition to dampening the chemistry of cell metabolism, heavy water also impacts cell division, or mitosis.

You'll only lose water, so there will be an initial drastic loss, but once you drink water, your body will absorb it again and the weight will come back.  If you don't replenish the fluids, you risk damaging your liver and kidneys along with a constant thirst.  It's not a healthy or lasting diet alternative.

YOU WILL BECOME DEHYDRATED BECAUSE THE WATER IN COFFEE AND TEA HAS LOTS OF CAFFEINE IN IT WHICH DEHYDRATES YOU, YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO DRINK more WATER THAN SOMEONE WHO DOESNT DRINK COFFEE.

No.\nDeinonised 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.\nNo 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.\nOther 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. \nSome "spring waters" have so little dissolved mineral ions in them that they are close to being deinonised water.\nIn fact, many spring water bottles contain water that does not come from springs, at all, but are deionised ground water or even tap water.\nDrinking distilled water which is purer than even deionised water causes no harm, therefor the similar,deionised water would not cause harm either.\nDan the Answers-Man.\nextra points never refused.

Yes, water intoxication is quite deadly. its a condition called hyponatremia.If you consume large amounts of water , blood plasma (the liquid part of blood) increases thereby diluting the salt content of the blood.  At the same time, your body also loses salt by sweating.  Consequently, the amount of electrolytes available to your body tissues decreases over time to a point where that loss interferes with brain, heart, and muscle function!  You have to replace these electrolytes!  They're essential to the normal electro-chemical operation of your nervous system.

The minerals and salts in the water dehydrates the body the more water you drink.

yes,as long as you dont drink the water

I suspect that the calcium in hard water becomes kidney stones. Buy a calciun suppliment if you need more.

well any water will have life in it except bottled. the best would be from a pond, stream, or river. or the ocean if you live near it. Have fun.
