    Be careful with drinking only distilled water. It leaches metals and materials out of the container it’s in and results in a low intake of micronutrients and minerals your body needs. Personally, taste wise, I find it flat and awful. May as well be drinking Disani (I personally hate). Water tastes great when minerals and micronutrients are still in it because that’s partly what your body needs in drinking water.

      I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.
