Colbert Report on Water Purification

The above video addresses an impending international crisis, a shortage of potable water. The video states that over 50% of disease worldwide is caused by contaminated water. Through the use of the showcased filter-free water purifier, it seems as though science has found a solution to the future "water crisis." However, it must be considered that the machine produces deionized or distilled water, water that has been clinically proven to shorten ones lifespan due to its tendency to increase blood acidity. While this water purification system may seem like an effective solution for the lack of potable water, it may only create further health related problems caused by the consumption of "soft" distilled water.
