You obviously didn't read the PDF. Reverse osmosis water IS demineralised water and due to the low water pressure associated with home domestic supply about 60-70% or more is wasted in driving the filtration process.
I've been using reverse osmosis purified water for the last 20-30 years. It replaced distilled and double distilled water due to cost and better filters.
The long term ingestion of demineralised/de-ionized water leads to osteoporosis as well as demineralization in the teeth. I've had two laboratory assistants that had continuously inbibed reverse osmosis generated water during their 20's for about a decade until that practice was banned in all university laboratories. They both suffer from oral demineralization and one has osteoporosis. Long term use of such water is a health hazard but it's up to you if you continue using it. It's like smoking. Long term hazard.
