Lemma 31.11.7. Let f : X \to Y be a flat morphism of schemes. If Y is integral and the generic fibre of f is integral, then X is integral.
Proof. The algebraic analogue is this: let A be a domain with fraction field K and let B be a flat A-algebra such that B \otimes _ A K is a domain. Then B is a domain. This is true because B is torsion free by More on Algebra, Lemma 15.22.9 and hence B \subset B \otimes _ A K. \square
