This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

distilled water is fine the issue is if you drink mostly or only distilled water, it doesn't have the minerals you'll find in tap water and long-term missing those isn't healthy. even so you can get those minerals from other sources like food or supplements most of the time.

Unless you're starving to death, you absolutely get those from food. The amount of minerals in even hard water is miniscule compared to what's in food. Drinking distilled or RO water, even regularly is not going to hurt you.

Drinking giardia on the other hand...
