Don't buy distilled water for no reason, since it provides absolutely no benefit over normal water and people need it. But also don't perpetuate the urban myth that distilled water is bad for you, like half of the replies. You body gets all the minerals it needs from food.https://twitter.com/sesmith/status/1244404153813569536 …
If our bodies were so sensitive to the difference in osmolarity then just eating food would cause massive problems in the other direction. Like, distilled water is a lot closer to regular water than regular water is to food.

Makes sense to me. Was mostly just pointing out that what I'd heard wasn't the same as what the commenters were saying.

Whitley studying biochemistry 25 years ago we did an off the cusp calculation that ingesting 10-15 liters of distilled water and nothing else in under 6 hours would have a harmful effect due to the osmosis reversal thing.
