One of my pet sitting clients boils the water she gives her cats, to make
it easier on their kidneys. I forgot to ask her what, exactly, this is
supposed to achieve, kidney-wise. Any ideas? It seems to me that
filtering it--which she does *not* do--would be more helpful than boiling,
because it would remove some of the heavy metals and minerals.

(And presumably, it's not onna counta pathogens, as the humans drink their
water unboiled.)

It depends. There are medical conditions in which short term negative ion
water may be beneficial. But it's my understanding (no cites, I'm sorry)
that distilled water can actually be harmful because it attracts and
leaches minerals from your body.

Wrong once again!

Interesting article. He didn't really set my mind at ease re. the 'leaching'
aspect though. My feeling is more along the lines that the process if it
takes place is insignificant. (from the point of view of relative
concentrations).

What you should be worried about is water with fluoride in it.

Why?

Hopefully it made you curious enough to do a little research on your own.

It can cause birth defects, ADD, cancer, osteoarthritis, suppresses
thyroid function, and a lot more.

It's actually banned in a lot of countries.

The boil water person probably read something in an email
that was floating around.

But, if the water supply in her town is basically safe,
wouldn't leaving
the minerals in actually be healthier than taking them out?
