I'm sure it tastes terrible since we're used to water with different amounts of minerals (and different cultures are used to different mixes!), but none of that is necessary for nutrition. There are much higher concentrations of those minerals in food.

Distilled water is actually terrible for the taste of coffee/tea due to lacking any dissolved solids...

Oh, I'm sure it tastes bland as heck. But it isn't going to hurt you if you only ever drink distilled water, as long as you eat normally.

According to what I read, it's not because you need the minerals included in the water, but because distilled water creates an osmotic gradient that pulls minerals out of your cells.

I don't know if the impact is as severe as it's implied, or if someone with a properly balanced diet will be able to accommodate the lost minerals and it's just fearmongering based on recommendations meant for people who are already dealing with deficiencies.
