I live in the USA, in a southern state where well water is the norm, we can't get city water where I live. I distill my own water because I was raised in California and my mother always used distilled water because she was afraid of the water system where we lived. Now that I live in a different part of the country I still drink nothing but distilled water, I guess it's a matter of taste for me, I cook with it and everything, I just can't bring myself to drink anything but distilled. I've been drinking it for over forty years now with no adverse effects. Just wanted to say I don't and never have had a problem with hair loss. That just proves that everybody is different in how they react to things.
