      Both. But distilled is at best ion poor. It’s not recommended use either exclusively for your source of water.

      A good filter on tap is enough for the vast majority of houses. If that’s not your case, mineral water or regular bottled water (which is just filtered tap water from a reliable source) are your best bet.

      And it’s cheaper too! Not common that you choose both healthy and cheap.

        Source? Everyone keeps saying something similar, and when asked for a source, suddenly there isn’t anything.

        No one is going to recommend against drinking distilled water solely, because you naturally get minerals and electrolytes elsewhere.

          Normally I would go fetch, but there are so many search results. Just search it yourself and choose a source you cash trust. It’s a very well established topic.

            I have, and every result says it’s safe. I would love to see an actual source that says otherwise. It’s not going fetch, it’s providing sources for your wild claim that multiple people have been debunking.

              Never said it was unsafe, just not recommended. WebMD has links to scientific articles that sorry support that. But you may counter that you don’t trust those sources. I’m not about to play whack a mole. If you want to exclusively drink demineralized water, go ahead, you won’t die for it. But you’ll increase your chances of developing certain diseases. Maybe that’s an acceptable tradeoff for you - I’d certainly think so if you live in Flint.

                Then provide those links to webmd, you have them handy. Why would they not recommend it if it wasn’t safe? And support your own wild claim then. Which doctors and sources are not recommending it. Your specific point doesn’t change anything. It’s either safe and recommended or not safe and not recommended these are mutually exclusive terms here.

                You can’t provide what doesn’t exist, there’s no need to lie that Google has it, or webmd has lots of results. If there was, you would provide them, since you must have recently looked at them to be THIS confident in a discussion. If no, accept you’re wrong, and quit perpetuating bullshit that’s been proving wrong.

        It’s baffling you’re getting down voted, you’re 100% correct. It’s nothing but a ridiculous myth that DI or RO water removes anything from your body, it absolutely does not.
