    Dasani and Smart Water have high salt to mineral content, they’re my favorite brand of bottled water. Pure water tastes bad and is actuality dangerous to drink regularly

      Distilled water is safe to drink, as long as you have a balanced diet that includes all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

      The claim that it “leeches” those minerals out of you isn’t supported by any real evidence.

      I used to drink distilled water at home for years with no side effects.

        Overhydration is a rare but fatal condition that occurs when someone consumes too much water, leading to an electrolyte imbalance. As little as 1 liter an hour can cause this condition. Distilled water has the highest chance of causing this condition with little to no benefit other than taste. Taste preferention is also uncommon as we’ve generally evolved to seek out mineral-rich water
