Guys, here's the fact, as a Physiologist, and knowing the physiology and chemistry, Reverse Osmosis def:
"The process in which pure water is produced by forcing waste or saline water through a semipermeable membrane" Thus the membrane being the determining factor. Def of osmosis: "The tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane"
So, reverse osmosis water, even if not completely TDS at 0, is not safe to drink due to the following factor in a physiological way:
If TDS water has less TDS than body disolved TDS, free water (in this case RO water) enters the body, osmosis will occur and minerals will be moved over from the body to the mineral deficient water through the membranes, by means of energy utilizing cells to transport these minerals, of the cells so to make or try create an equilibrium. Thus removing minerals ie. calcium, potasium etc. from the body system, just to create an osmotic equilibrium and in turn depleting the body of it's nutrients/minerals.
NO, one would not die by drinking RO water occasionaly, but in constant or only source, it could have adverse effects. Mineral depletion in the human body can have several effects, some being fatal.
For the price of water, rather drink bottle or tap water, much cheaper and safer than risking the ill effects of TDS free/low water.
RO water for household use has got a re mineralizer to replenish minerals needed in H2O to make it physiologically safe.
Just my opinion, use it, dont use it. All up to the consumer...
Hope this helps!!
