My understanding of RO water is that it is really bad for you,
Most speciality coffee shops use RO water to get an ideal PH and 120ppm minerality, this gives a consistent taste and seriously reduces servicing bills for their machines. A lot of home coffee users use Tesco Ashbrook spring water which is just industrial scale mains water put through RO to get an ideal PH and mineral level.
Is it really bad for you?
That sounds like a nice day’s eating to me. There’s some wildly silly stuff in there and I couldn’t be bothered, but he isn’t eating twigs and sadness. 🙂
Pete Evans is all over the meeja here in Oz and he is indeed a Grade ‘A’ nobclanger. Recently he was advising Australians not to wear sunscreen because it’s “full of chemicals” 🙄
I also want some reverse osmosis water, sounds delicious. Is this just pseudo-science (like homeopathy) – designed to ‘sound’ scientific to people that obviously have no knowledge of science whatsoever?
I do have Emu meatballs served on a bed of cocoa nibs once a week though.
Reading this whilst facing the savage destruction from last nights kebab (imagine the sound of a load of old shoes falling out of a loft) maybe it’s worth a try.
All the water we used to drink when I was out in Kandahar was reverse osmosised – we had our own bottling plant and the water came directly out of bore holes to the ROPU plant for purification.

In this context I suspect yes but reverse osmosis is used to purify seawater. It’s a cross between diffusion and filtration.
Nothing with RO water as such. Seen it used on an industrial scale to purify. Didn’t pepsi or coke sell it at one point with a lot of marketing?
The minerals taken out would be replaced by whatever you were eating. But in both these examples they seem to be undoing that anyway. The crazy lady is adding in minerals and the crazy man is getting alkaline water and adding an acid to it?
