Anybody here drink distilled water?
I've been buying Great Value purified drinking water for a number of months now due it being listed as zero fluoride. I'd looked into drinking distilled water previously but looked like since it's devoid of minerals that it can actually leach minerals from your body. After reading a couple things about the 4th phase of water, and living water, I'm dubious of this however.
Distilled water makes me a little more certain of pure water. Here's the link to the bottled water fluoride check site:

also, most modern diets are so deficient in minerals that distilled water is a BAD idea. Otherwise distilled water is ok, tastes a little..empty..but not too different from Evian. I really like Icelandic that I've had so far. C2 (chuck norris water) is crisp. Whole Foods has good purified water.
Water is serious business. I can outright tell you, too high alkaline and I get bad heart palpitations. I've been drinking Ozarka spring and Nestle Purelife. The only issue is the plastic but as long as you don't leave it in a hot car and you don't reuse bottles it's fine
I used to love the Nestle Purelife, still would say it's one of the best tasting waters available, especially in it's price range being it's not one of those over-priced waters.
What turned me off to it was Fluoride PPM 0.0 - 0.3(according to the link above). So it may be zero, or may not be. My goal with bottled water is primarily to maximally minimize fluoride intake. Spot on about the plastic, don't let it sit and get hot.
Honestly, in a perfect world I'd agree 100% about mineral deficiency, but look at all the garbage our bodies endure in this world, I think mineral deficiency is low on the totem lol. If I were to start drinking distilled water on the regular I'd be looking at easy ways to distill it at home myself, but also adding minerals into it.
Seen some interesting methods for DIY water distilling, including an electric all in one, but looking at a stove top method. Plus avoiding plastic all together!
Thanks for the input!
Good article. I run a water plant and have all but eliminated Fluoride from our system. We do get a trace amount from the river we draw from. I have a well at home so I have good water as well.
Fluoride is very hard to filter out. RO and distillation are the best ways to remove it. Carbon filters won’t touch it. Fluoride was my red pill moment many years ago. A doctor told me about it and Alex Jones as well. Found out where it came from and the agenda behind it. Follow the money! And they want to dumb us down.
Peace!
I wish you were our water guy LoL
My family in Hawaii uses distilled water, but then they have their own minerals that they put in the water, or that they just put in a glass of water for their vitamins for the day.
Worst case, find a great salt that still has minerals like Redmond Real Salt. Though that is just a guess & I would need to research it.
My mom buys the special salt. It’s supposed to be pure from all contaminants, especially plastic. Because there’s so many plastics in the ocean now, that minute portions of the plastics will show up in salt. Table salt that is. I’m not sure what brand that she buys, but I know it’s more expensive but it’s more like a sea salt but not sea salt LOL!
One of the articles I came across mentioned adding apple cider vinegar to distilled water for drinking. Just trying a quick search now turns up nothing but drinking ACV. Stupid search engines suck now for anything.
Minerals do help with flavor as well.
I don’t know if you’ve tasted Apple cider vinegar before but it taste horrible. I was going to try and drink it every day for my health, but it was so disgusting I just couldn’t stomach it. Maybe a small amount would help with the minerals, but I don’t know what it would make the water taste like. Best of luck on your journey
I bought some to drink daily, unrelated to distilled water, after reading some of the health benefits. While it was far from tasty I found it drinkable. That was several months ago, still have the majority of the bottle untouched not long after buying it lol. Might have to go back to it just to use it up, hate wasting it in this inflation!
