    At home we are not on city water, we have a well. I don't mind it at all, but my friend's who aren't used to it won't drink it. At work we are provided bottled water because the water machine doesn't filter from the water line anymore. The thing is, the water line is the same as the drinking fountain, and is better than well water ay my house, so I don't mind. Since I drink so much water a day I start with one water bottle and refill it from the machine throughout the day. At home I drink from the sink over ice.

    The answer is Distilled water!!!!!

    I normally drink tap water because after all I am cheap! But yesterday I decided to drink distilled water all day long. I can really taste a different it taste cleaner.

    All water is good for you but Distilled water is the purest form!!!

    Happy drinking

    Distilled water on a regular basis is supposedly dangerous last time I heard.

    That sounds like propaganda to me.

    ETA: There is absolutely NOTHING dangerous about distilled water. It is simply water that has been boiled for at least 5 minutes. In fact sometimes if a water main breaks or something, a municipality will ORDER the population to boil the water to MAKE it safe.

    Of course it would sound like propaganda when you're busy making colloidal silver potions.

    I prefer filtered tap or spring water because it does not taste of chlorine and because spring water contains mineral which I may need.

    But why is distilled water dangerous Victoria? Any good foundation for your claim?

    From what I remember reading is that since its so pure it lacks minerals. Minerals that you wouldn't normally get in your diet if it isn't varied enough (like most peoples diets of corn flakes and sugar usually are). It's not dangerous in the sense that you'll have one sip and die though.

    Just to add, pretty much all natural water sources have other things in it. You're never just drinking pure H20 so it would be safe to assume that people aren't intended to drink distilled water as their main water source.

    Another thing I read is that it's more acidic since it absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. I'm not sure how true that is though.
