Lower deuterium is healthier

All natural waters on earth contain deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, which is harmful to organisms regardless of the deuterium content. Normal deuterium content in the water does not cause significant harm, but as long as the deuterium in normal water slightly removed part of the role of human health is immeasurable. Therefore, the scientists of the amount of deuterium than normal water less glacial water called "water of life".

Tianshan glacier station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences scientists in addition to some of the main components of the glacier water, such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and other content, routine analysis, but also on the glacier water and other physical and chemical indicators and biological effects of glacier water for in-depth study. Found that the glacier water has low isotope (low deuterium water) characteristics, and this feature is any other body of water in nature does not have the quality. The results of the study show that: deuterium (δD) content in lake water is generally between -10‰ and -20‰; deuterium content in river water is generally between -30‰ and -40‰; deuterium content in glacier water <-60‰. When the deuterium content in the water is high, it will inhibit the growth of plants and animals, accelerate aging, reduce the ability to reproduce. Studies have shown that when high deuterium content of water into the organism, penetration into the cellular DNA double helix structure will replace the original hydrogen atoms, will destroy the original structure of the DNA, resulting in the generation of genetic mutations. This is the root cause of the onset of many modern diseases, so the amount of deuterium in the water is an important indicator of good or bad water quality, the lower the deuterium value of the water quality is better.
