Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW)
Deuterium, a.k.a. heavy hydrogen, is a naturally occurring stable – non-radioactive – variation of hydrogen. The atomic nucleus of hydrogen consists of one proton only, but the deuterium nucleus contains one proton and one neutron. This considerable, twofold mass difference causes significant differences in the physical and chemical properties of hydrogen and deuterium. Deuterium is Known to Interfere with Cellular Energy Production: Deuterium is one of the 3 isotopes of the hydrogen ion, it contains an extra neuron - making it more heavy than standard hydrogen. 0.0156% of all hydrogen on Earth is expected to be Deuterium. This may not sound like a lot, but each water molecule is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms. On our planet, for every 1,000,000 hydrogen atoms, there are 150 Deuterium atoms (150 parts per million). Water molecules composed of Deuterium are known as heavy water molecules due to the extra weight the neutron adds. At under 135 parts per million (10% less than naturally occurring) of Deuterium, the water is known as light water.
