Does anyone know about the advantages/disadvantages of drinking
and cooking solely with distilled water?  I am somewhat
concerned about the tap water where I live because it seems to vary in
quality, sometimes tasting chlorine-ish, or metallic, or swamp-like.

I've read that distilled water will demineralize the body if
it is the only source of liquid intake.  Can this be true?
