A friend ( PhD , Chem Engr) once drank distilled exclusively and did get to a point where he was dizzy / "light headed". This was years ago And i forget details except he did it to get high without the expense of buying liquor. | |

That water then is delivered to our lab in a separate DI water pipe. We can draw water directly from this line from taps, and we do for certain applications, notably for cleaning glassware. However, that DI line also feeds into our lab's ultra-pure system, which performs two more passes of deionization. It has a resistivity readout on it, which routinely reads 18.1 megaohm-cm. This water is about as pure as it is possible to make water. | |

a rumor, and no scientific evidence offered
