RO doesn't seem like a good idea - completely removes a lot of the needed minerals from water that your body needs. WHO issues a warning about drinking from these kinds of systems exclusively.
- dmm 3y agoI've been drinking RO water almost exclusively since conception and I'm fine. I eat a SAD(standard American diet) and I get enough minerals from my food.
- wackycat 3y agoYou can purchase elemental mineral drops and add that back in to RO water. Given the importance of water and minerals, I find it to be worth it but that's definitely an individual choice, as well as a privileged one (meaning I can afford RO water and minerals to add).

A nice little bump, but nothing a decent diet won’t attain. Although half of westerners are deficient in magnesium, so that one is a good supplement to take regardless. When the trade off is arsenic, lead, pfas, bromate, hexavalent chromium, haloacetic acids, nitrates, uranium, trihalomethane, and who knows what other carcinogens…
