Several publications have reported a radioprotective and immunopotentiating action of "light" water with low content of such stable isotopes as deuterium and 18O. Validity of these statements is the subject of the Letter to editors. Investigations of "light" water compare with that of water purified of a microelement. Prolonged consumption of this water may result in deficiency of the microelement, whereas the positive effect of absence in water of a natural microcomponent is impossible or very unlikely.
