Summary

Distilled water is a highly purified form of water, achieved through a process that removes impurities and contaminants, resulting in a clean and safe product. However, the distillation process also removes beneficial minerals that are naturally present in other types of water, which slightly impacts its overall score. The lack of contaminants and minimal processing contribute positively to its rating.

Distilled water
Neutral

Distilled water is classified as neutral because it is pure water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back into liquid, removing impurities and minerals. The distillation process ensures high purity by eliminating contaminants, but it also removes beneficial minerals found in natural water sources. Compared to mineral water, distilled water lacks electrolytes which may be a consideration for those needing mineral intake.
