demineralised water -

Water which has less minerals ( TDS Less than 100 ) due to being purified through any of the following processes:

1. membrane filtration (reverse osmosis or nanofiltration)
2. distillation
3. De-ionization
4. Electro-dialysis

Health risks from demineralised water

1. Decreased secretion of tri-iodothyronine and aldosterone
2. Increased secretion of cortisol
3. Morphological changes in the kidneys
4. Swollen vascular endothelium limiting the blood flow
5. Reduced skeletal ossification in fetuses
6. Increased diuresis (around 20%)
7. Increased body water volume
8. Increased elimination of minerals from the body
9. Hyponatremic shock or delirium
10. Increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease
11. Higher risk of fracture in children
12..Neurodegenerative diseases
13. Pre-term birth
14. Low weight at birth
15. Some types of cancer
