From what I remember of the article I saw on this, it suggested that people on low salt diets (for blood pressure, etc.) should not drink soft water on a regular basis. When I installed a water softner, I left the cold water tap in the kitchen on the hard line. This is where most of the water we drink in the home comes from.
