I started drinking distilled water over 30 years ago. I looked into filtered water and decided that filtering gets out the sand & feathers but little else.
I couldn't stand the taste of the heavily chlorinated water I was drinking in the Atlanta area at the time.
I came to the conclusion that distilling is the only way to remove ALL the chemicals in water.
I also looked into fluoride being added to municipal water supplies. I read several books on the subject and came to the conclusion that adding fluoride was one of the biggest scams pulled on the public. Some people are highly allergic to fluoride. Putting it in a trough for all is stupid to say the least.
It does NOTHING for cavities. How do I know?
My daughter never had city water and NEVER had a single cavity. She ate very little candy and her mother made sure she brushed her teeth.

Another advantage of distilled water is we are rarely sick.

I grew up on well water with high fluoride in West Texas. I have had one cavity my whole life. And my teeth are not brown.

We use reverse osmosis ourselves. However, I have heard (and someone can clarify) that water that has everything removed tends to attract healthy minerals to itself. In short, drinking reverse osmosis or distilled water may cause the water to leech minerals from your body.

You are healthy, so either the statement isn't universally true, or you take in enough nutrients to compensate.
