That's only 1 reason why you distill all your drinking water.

  I've heard this can cause other problems, do you add minerals back in?

    What trace minerals would a person get in tap water that they wouldn't get through food in their diet?
    • Gigachad 3y ago
      Distilled water absorbs the minerals back when you drink it so it's removing the ones you got from your diet.

        Why does that matter? Water contributes like 1% of your mineral intake. Removing it just doesn't matter.

          It's a thing people say, truth or not, people worry about it

      This would be highly dependent in their specific diet. For lots of folks it likely wouldn't cause a problem, for some it would.
