| Health        risks There has        been much publicity over the years about the negative health effects of        drinking softened water, but recent research showed that the amount of        salt consumed by drinking softened water is insignificant when compared to        overall daily salt intake. Anyway over the past 25 years research has        continued to amass in support of the beneficial role of minerals in water:        studies of populations in areas of naturally occurring hard water and soft        water have found few occurrences of cardiovascular diseases, cancer,        diabetes, respiratory diseases or other health problems in hard water        areas. In the draft of the rolling revision of the WHO guidelines for drinking-water quality, titled 'Health risks from drinking demineralised water' by F. Koíek, the possible health consequences of low mineral content water consumption are divided in the categories: direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, practically zero calcium and magnesium intake, low intake of other elements, loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food, possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals, possible bacterial re-growth. 
 
 Direct        effects on the intestinal mucous membrane It has been        demonstrated that consuming water of low mineral content has a negative        effect on homeostasis mechanisms. Homeostasis        literally means 'same state' and it refers to the process of keeping the        internal body environment in a steady state. In his publication        Koíek states that        "experiments in animals have repeatedly shown that the intake of        demineralized water leads to diuresis (increased urination caused by        substances present in the kidney tubules), extra cellular fluid volume        and serum concentration of sodium and chlorine ions and their increased        elimination from the body, lower volumes of red blood cells and other        hematocritic changes (alteration of the number of red blood cells)". A        German study carried out by th German Society for nutrition proved        instead that if distilled water is ingested, the intestine has to add        electrolytes to this water, taking them from the body reserves. After the        ingestion of distilled water the electrolytes dissolved in the body water        are further dilute. Inadequate body water redistribution may compromise        the function of vital organs. In the        past, acute health problems were reported in mountain climbers who had        prepared their beverages with melted snow. which was not supplemented with        necessary ions. A more severe course of such a condition coupled with        brain oedema, convulsions and metabolic acidosis was reported in infants        whose drinks had been prepared with distilled or low mineral bottled water        (CDC 1994). 
 Practically        zero calcium and magnesium intake Researches and studies proved that water low in magnesium can cause increased morbidity and mortality form cardiovascular disease, higher risk of motor neuronal disease, pregnancy disorders, preeclampsia. Water low in calcium may be associated with higher risk of fracture in children, certain neurodegenerative diseases, pre-term birth and low weight at birth. Lack both in calcium and in magnesium can also cause some types of cancer. 
 W Over 80 observational epidemiological studies relating hardness and cardiovascular disease risks have been realized and their results had been discussed by experts at the meeting organized by the WHO European Centre in Rome on November 11-13, 2003. The conclusions are quoted in the WHO report titled: 'Nutrient minerals in drinking-water and the potential health consequences of long-term consumption of demineralized and remineralized and altered mineral content drinking-waters', published in August 2004. It was observed a positive (protective) association between cardiovascular disease mortality and increased water hardness in countries around the world, both for population and on individual-basis. It was then supposed that these beneficial health effects can possibly be extended to large population groups on a long- term basis by adjusting the water quality. It was pointed out that magnesium and possibly calcium may be effective in reducing blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Nutritional studies suggest that some other micronutrients may have a beneficial role associated with their presence in drinking water, even is they have not extensively considered in these epidemiological studies yet. More studies are needed to better understand the possible risks and benefits of essential and trace elements found in water. The discussion group concluded there is sufficient epidemiological evidence of and inverse relationship between magnesium concentration in drinking water and ischemic heart disease mortality, and therefore the reintroduction into demineralised water in the remineralisation process would likely provide health benefits. There are, in fact, no known harmful human health effects associated with the addition magnesium within a large range and the nutritional benefits are well known. It is thought that adding calcium provides the same benefits, however, a correlation between calcium in drinking water and decreases in the occurrence of heart disease is not yet proven substantially. 
 Low intake        of some essential elements The contribution of water to uptake of some essential elements for humans is important because the modern diets are often not an adequate source of some minerals. Moreover these minerals are often present in water as free ions, so they are more readily adsorbed from water compared to food. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that low mineral drinking 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 infants. A study of this kind conducted in 1992 by Lutai on two populations living in areas with different levels of dissolved minerals showed that the population of the area supplied with water low in minerals showed higher incident rates of these disease. Children living in this area exhibited slower physical development and more growth abnormalities, pregnant women suffered more frequently from oedema and anaemia. 
 High loss        of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in food prepared with        low mineral water If soft water is used for cooking it can cause substantial losses of all essential elements from food. In contrast, if hard water is used, the loss of these elements is much lower. Since the current diet of many people does not provide all the necessary elements in sufficient quantities, it is important to not loose essential elements and nutrients during cooking. Therefore, in the areas supplied with soft water, we have to take into account not only a lower intake of magnesium and calcium from drinking water but also a lower intake of magnesium and calcium from food due to cooking in such water. 
 Risk from        toxic metals Low mineralised water is highly aggressive to materials with which it comes into contact. It easily adsorbs metals and some organic substances from pipes, coatings, storage tanks and containers. Moreover, calcium and magnesium in water and food are known to have an antitoxic activity: they can prevent the absorption of some toxic elements from the intestine into the blood. Population supplied with low-mineral water may be at a higher risk in terms of adverse effect from exposure to toxic substances compared to populations supplied with water of average mineralization. Calcium and to a lower extent also magnesium in both drinking water and food were previously found to have a beneficial antitoxic effect since they prevent  via either a direct reaction resulting in an no absorbable compound or competition for binding sites  absorption or reduce harmful effects of some toxic elements such heavy metals. 
 Possible        bacteria contamination of low-mineral water The        bacterial re-growth is encouraged by the lack of a residual disinfectant        and by the possibly great availability of nutrients in aggressive water,        such the low-mineral water, particularly if it has a high        temperature. 
 Harmful        effects of hard water No evidence        is available to document harm to human health from harder drinking water.        Perhaps only a high magnesium content (hundreds of mg/l) coupled with a        high sulphate content may cause diarrhea. Other harmful health effects        were observed in water rich in dissolved solids (above 1000 mg/l of TDS)        showing mineral levels that are not common in drinking water. In areas        supplied with drinking water harder than 500 mg/l        CaCO3, higher        incidence rates of gallbladder disease, urinary stones, arthritis and        arthropathies as compared with those supplied with softer water were        reported (Muzalevskaya et al, 1993). An epidemiological study        carried out in a particular region (Tambov) found hard water (more than        400-500 mg/l of CaCO3) to be possible cause of higher incidence        rates of some diseases including cancer (Golubev et al, 1994).         
 Sensorial        disadvantages of hard and soft water 
 Fluoride in drinking water Most drinking waters contain some fluoride. Processes such anion exchange, demineralisation and some other treatments which will remove it, affecting its concentration. High levels of excess fluoride intake cause crippling        skeletal fluorosis.        This is almost always associated with high fluoride intake from drinking        water. Ingestion of excess fluoride during tooth development, particularly        at the maturation stage, may also result in dental fluorosis. A decision to use demineralised water as drinking        water sources without addition of fluoride during remineralization will        depend upon many factors: the concentration of fluorine in the existing        local supply, the volume of water consumed, the prevalence of risk factors        for dental caries, oral hygiene practices, level of public dental        awareness, presence of alternative vehicles for dental care and fluoride        available to the whole population.

 Desirable        mineral content of demineralised drinking water In the late 1970's, the issue of an optimum composition of drinking water, particularly if obtained by desalination, was in the centre of attention of the WHO. The WHO also emphasized the importance of mineral composition of drinking water and warned e.g. against the use of cation exchange sodium cycle softening in water treatment (WHO, 1978; WHO, 1979). In the 1980's the wave of interest in the effect of water hardness on cardio vascular diseases morbidity rather subsided; it seemed that any new insight into the issue could not be expected. The focus was on confirming the role of magnesium as a crucial factor of hardness and on first attempts of more general quantification of its protective effect. In the 1990 criticisms of the existing studies started to make a new challenge to publications of further studies. These critics asserted that morbidity was evaluated at a population group based level, rather than at an individual-based level and individual exposure to calcium and magnesium from water was not established. In other studies, the confounders possibly involved in cardio vascular diseases morbidity such as age, socio-economic factors, alcohol consumption, eating habits, climatic conditions etc. were not adequately taken into account. Most new epidemiological studies of the 1990's were able to specify the effect of either calcium or magnesium and also focused on morbidity other than cardio vascular diseases. During the 90's research confirmed a protective effect of both drinking water magnesium and calcium against cardio vascular diseases, and more data on beneficial effect of these elements in drinking water on human health were presented. More recent        studies have provided additional information about minimum and optimum        levels of minerals that should be in demineralised drinking water. These        studies suggest for magnesium a minimum of 10 mg/l and an optimum of 20-30        mg/l, for calcium a minimum of 20 mg/l and an optimum of about 50 mg/l,        for fluoride an optimum of 0.5  1 mg/l and a maximum of 5 mg/l. For total        water hardness the sum of calcium and magnesium should be 200 to 400 mg/l.         At these concentrations, minimum or no adverse health effects were observed and the maximum protective or beneficial health effects of drinking water appear to occur. | |
