yes its absolutely safe,,

As long as the distillation equipment has been cleaned properly and is made of non-toxic materials, then yes. Distilled water is one of the purist forms of water you can get.

The process is simple. You take water that may be contaminated, full of minerals that you don't want, or that you just want to make as pure as possible and boil it in a sealed container.

At the top of the container there is a coil of tubing that is cooled somehow. Either air-cooled with cold air or by a cold-liquid bath.

The water boils and gets turned into steam. The boiling temp kills off bacteria and the steam leaves behind any contaminants and minerals. The pressure forces the steam through the cooling tube coil where it condenses back into water. This water having left any contaminant (organic, mineral, etc) behind is now pure.

Distilled water is a pure water. That is the only content of it is H2O and nothing else. Unlike a mineral water which has other minerals and ions incorporated in it, distilled water has non but H2O molecules. It is actually safe to drink distilled water too much consumption would lead to some concerns.

The drinking of distilled water has been both advocated and discouraged for health reasons. The lack of naturally occurring minerals in distilled water has raised some concerns. The Journal of General Internal Medicine published a study on the mineral contents of different waters available in the US. The study concluded that drinking water sources available to North Americans may contain high levels of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+ and may provide clinically important portions of the recommended dietary intake of these minerals.

Physicians should encourage patients to check the mineral content of their drinking water, whether tap or bottled, and choose water most appropriate for their needs.
It is often observed that consumption of "hard" water, or water that has some minerals, is associated with beneficial cardiovascular effects. As noted in the American Journal of Epidemiology, consumption of hard drinking water is negatively correlated with atherosclerotic heart disease.

Since distilled water is free of minerals, it will not have these potential benefits.
While a growing number of people prefer fluoride-free water for health reasons, others still suggest that—because distilled water lacks fluoride ions that are added by many governments (e.g. municipalities in the United States) at water treatment plants using fluoridation for its inhibition of cavity formation—the drinking of distilled water may increase the risk of tooth decay due to a lack of this element. Of course fluoride can still be applied to the teeth alone with toothpaste and fluoride therapy.

Yes but it won't provide you benefits of mineral water as it is just water & nothing else to be precise.

pure water , safest around...........soft water too only water for your iron or battery

Yes
