Frank: Now let me read all this to ya, because this is about distilled water, too.

Fritzy: Yeah, go 'head.

Frank: "The chemicals including chloride, fluoride, phosphorous, alum, sodium, aluminates, soda, ash, carbon, and lime are frequently added to drinking water for purification."

Fritzy: Yeah.

Frank: "These substances are needed to kill bacteria." Ya understand?

Fritzy: Go 'head.

Frank: "But questions have been raised regarding potential cancer-causing effects of some of these chemicals."

Fritzy: Alright?

Frank: "Poisonous substances such as arsenic, [UI], cyanide, asbestos, common industrial wastes can combine with other chemicals in water and form substances [UI]." Funny word there.

Fritzy: Yeah, but you can't drink that...

Frank: "Boiling water, whether hot or cold tap water, bottled water..."

Fritzy: Yeah.

Frank: "...for long periods of time for purification is not recommended. Although the bacteria will be destroyed, the purest water will be lost in the form of a steam and any heavy metals or nitrates in the water will be concentrated in the final amount." Alright? That's when you boil it.

Fritzy: Uh-huh.

Frank: "Another source of tap water is well water. And like most surface water which has a relative unified mineral content, well water varies drastically in mineral content from one location to the next, but the [UI] solids in the water can range from nearly nothing to excessive extremes."

Fritzy: Whattya got, an encyclopedia there?

Frank: No, this is the nutrition book I got.

Fritzy: Oh, yeah.

Frank: It's got everything you wanna know. "Because drinking water is polluted--even rainwater, which collects atmospheric pollution as it descends--it may be desirable to purchase a home purification unit. In November, 1975, data identified 253 different specific oganic chemicals such as chloroform..."

Fritzy: So what kinda water you gotta drink?

Frank: "...pesticides in drinking water in the United States."

Fritzy: So what're they tellin' you to drink?

Frank: "The occurrence of these compounds in drinking water suggests that the only organics [UI] that are yet [UI] be present and the number of compounds could be larger. In laboratory tests the purification process of distilling and reverse osmosis was the most [UI] removing the widest range of contaminants. It is suggested that a person switching to purified water shall make an effort to provide an adequate mineral intake by eating mineral-rich foods." In other words, if you're gonna eat pure, drink pure water, you gotta make sure you're have a good mineral intake.

Fritzy: Yeah, well that guy does. He eats all those...

Frank: "Mineral-rich foods or supplementing the diet."

Fritzy: Yeah.

Frank: "The diet allows the consumption of minerals in manageable quantities that will fulfill individual needs. This is the only way to insure a proper mineral balance without taking the risk of pollutants, chemical and bacteria..."

Fritzy: Well, you're better off doin' that there. Aren't you better off with the, uh, distilled water, and then...

Frank: Yeah, but.

Fritzy: You are.

Frank: I'm buyin' the bottled water.

Fritzy: Yeah, well that's distilled.

Frank: I'm buyin' the bottled water from [UI] and, and whattya call it?

Fritzy: Yeah?

Frank: What he's got over there, that's good water.

Fritzy: You get it free over there.

Frank: Lemme look up your heart now. Enlarged heart?

Fritzy: Yeah.

Frank: Hold on. Lemme see the fuckin' book here. What is that, "E?"

Fritzy: Well, "heart."

Frank: "Heart?" A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H.

Fritzy: H. Heart.

Frank: "Heart Disease, 141."

Fritzy: Go ahead.
