Answer 2

I agree with Flywho, and I own a water distiller. Distilled water has no minerals in it, and your body needs minerals to function properly, so you must get them from your healthy diet or supplements.

Answer 4

* Distillation, when combined with carbon filtration, will kill and remove virtually 100% of bacteria, viruses, cysts, and will remove heavy metals, inorganics; including minerals, radionuclides, particulates, and organics; including VOC'S.

* Over 95% of our minerals come from our food and less than 5% from drinking water. You would practically have to drown yourself by drinking it to get the RDA of any beneficial minerals.

* Pure water refers to water that is H2O, and that's it! It's not H20 with calcium, iron, fluoride, etc... Distilled water comes the closest to this definition.

* Distilled water will not leach minerals from your body. There has never been any documented evidence to prove this claim true. It is perfectly safe to drink.

* Long term drinking of distilled water is not deleterious to your teeth.

* Distillers do not use up much electricity. Distillers will make 1 gallon for roughly 25 cents. Compared to bottled distilled water at around $1.00 or more per gallon, the savings are tremendous year after year.

Answer 5

Of course you can.
For that matter, drinking distilled water is way better for you than drinking most cities' tap water, or water served in restaurants with a lot of ice and a lemon slice to mask the objectionable odor of chlorine.
Just keep in mind though that drinking distilled water is likely to flush out vital minerals from your body, and so, if you drink distilled water as a habit, you should also cultivate a habit of supplementing essential minerals with a supplement.
