> I drank quite a bit of DI water in grad school
Nice... but I wonder if it's considered food-grade, and if there are any non-ionic / non-polar impurities in it.
> Also, heavy water (D2O) tastes sweet.
I find that plain distilled water tastes sweet too. I can't afford heavy water, but this YouTuber did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXHVqId0MQc .
> it also won’t kill you when consumed
Deuterium oxide will kill you only after deuterium replaces a significant portion of all your body's hydrogen atoms, like maybe 50+%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyK6kPi8k78
