Distilled water is NOT good for you!

Unless you know that tap water is contaminated or tastes like shit there is little evidence in favor of bottled water

Please explain.

"Yes, distilled water is “pure” in the sense that it does not have any harmful chemicals in it. Matter of fact it has NOTHING in it. And that is the problem. See, bettas need some essential minerals which they get from their water. And distilled water provides none of that. It is also way too soft and acidic and not suitable. It is also expensive."

""In an attempt to get 'pure' water, some people promote distillers and reverse osmosis (R.O.) filters. While these devices work well, they take everything out of the water. Unfortunately, this “pure” water is not healthy. It’s dead water. Fish cannot live in it. If ingested for long periods of time, it can leach out valuable body minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium. One can take mineral supplements to replace them; however, it’s not easy to replace the minerals in our body in the same form that we lost them in."

distilled water lacks minerals and can potentially wash out your electrolytes. its less of a risk in developed countries where we eat shitloads of minerals in our food, though.

LOL, I'm far from a yuppie.

I get plenty of good stuff via the millions of supps I take and a healthy diet.

You obviously don't live in the D.C. area. I know people in D.C. that won't brush their teeth or fill up their pet water dishes with that water - major lead issues that will take years to resolve. Some of the D.C. suburbs (where I work is one) get their water from the same D.C. source. So, NO, not all water in North America is the same & great.

Usually when people argue that distilled is bad for you, they are talking about it washing out a lot of electrolytes in your body. That's why I asked for his explanation.

Whoever said boiling tap water is bad should be shot! That's basically what everyone use especially in restaurants.
