Been talk of this in other forums and it ties in to the idea that light, water, and mitochondria are huge when it comes to health.
Basically deuterium is hydrogen but with a neutron as well as a proton in the center. This makes D heavier the H. It also changes the bond angle between the 2 hydrogens/deuterium in H2O. It changes the absorption spectrum of water (this has to be significant). It does other things like freezes at 4C istead of 0C, changes the surface tension of water and the clusters. I think it changes how H/D functions electrically and a bunch of other stuff as well.
We all seem to agree that mitochondria are hugely important. Mito pump H/D across the IMM and then allow them to flow back into the cell through the ATPase to produce ATP. As far as I understand it, though could be wrong, because D is heavier it causes problems when pumping or going through the ATPase, like a stutter.
I think how the water in mitochondria can absorp (red) light will also be affected.
Normal drinking water is around 150ppm D though this varies with a number of factors (latitude, temperature, etc). Our bodies and other living things naturally depelete deuterium as our healthy bodies measure less D than that of the enviroment.
Ketogenic fats tend to be deuterium depleted, this will mean the water in mitochondria will be D depleted as fats make a lot of mitochondrial water, this also means you will be drinking less water. It appears plants put their deuterium in fruits so these have higher levels.
The Rx for this so far seems to be ketosis and drinking DDW (though this is difficult to get). It appears there are other things one can do and I will update this thread if I find them.
