Looked for topic discussion of Deuterium Depleted Water (DDW) but found nothing..
Studies seem to show it is beneficial, especially for killing of cancerous cells.

Seems like it might be viable, if deuterium is really placing some load on the body, so removing, lessening it's concentration might allow the body to work better; at least so the theory goes.

On the other hand--
By examining the intracellular small‐molecule metabolites in yeast cells undergoing aging, we found that as yeast cells age, the overall heavy isotopic content, such as that of carbon‐13, nitrogen‐15, and hydrogen‐2 (deuterium) declines in the amino acids, an essential group of metabolites that serve as building blocks in protein biosynthesis and precursors in all living organisms. Moreover, supplementing heavy isotopes through nutritional uptake extends the lifespan of yeast by more than 80% in aging assays, likely via eliciting a DR‐like [dietary restriction] effect.

Though this is probably bunk, I did find a randomized double-blind study in prostate cancer patients that had positive results. I'd be a lot happier if all or almost all of the research didn't come out of Hungary.
