You don’t need to pick a side like it’s a sports rivalry. Think of them as tools in your hydration toolbox. Use distilled water for your humidifier, your car, or your grandma’s prized coffee maker (she will know if you used tap). Use purified water for drinking, cooking, and keeping your kid’s juice from tasting like a science experiment.
The next time you’re in that grocery aisle, don’t panic. Just grab the purified water and wink at the distilled water. It knows what it did. And if someone asks you the difference, you can smile and say, “One is a fancy spa treatment, the other is a good shower. Both get you clean, but only one makes you want to drink more.”
Now go hydrate, you beautiful, slightly confused creature. Your body is 60% water—make it the fun kind.
