Hey, psa, friends: If you don’t need distilled water, please don’t buy it. It does not taste good and people need it for medical purposes.

Actually distilled water is perfectly fine to drink, exclusively even. There's no *reason* to do it, but it won't hurt you. The thing about the body needing the minerals in water is an urban myth. You get those from food.

That link is a 404. Try this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1495189/ … *Some* waters contain clinically relevant levels of minerals, but never most of the DRI, and many American bottled waters are so low as to be about the same as distilled water. And nobody's dying by drinking them.

Replying to @marcan42 @jeremyherbert and
So if your diet is low on some of those minerals, drinking hard water will help... but drinking distilled water is not going to be any worse than drinking normal bottled water from low-mineralization springs, like Deer Park.

And if you have a balanced diet that covers your mineral DRI properly, then you will be absolutely fine drinking distilled water exclusively, and would get no benefit from drinking harder water.
