An old friend of mine who used to be in the merchant navy (junior engineer on crappy oil tankers under flags of convenience) claimed that the terrible state of his teeth (they were crumbling - bits used to break off and he'd spit them out) was due to drinking distilled water for months at a time at sea. Or it might have been because he never went to the dentist...
I have heard that distilled water isn't very good for you, because it's so much purer than your body that it tends to suck the vitamins and minerals out of your body through osmosis... and then I decided to check to see if it's just an urban legend... and apparently it is: http://www.tafkac.org/faq2k/medicine_113.html
Oh, well. :-)
Most citydwellers here drink bottled. Every once in a while you'll see a tv news story about how bottled water isn't flouridated (sp?) and people should make sure they brush their teeth consistently.
