Hey, psa, friends: If you don’t need distilled water, please don’t buy it. It does not taste good and people need it for medical purposes.

https://www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/nutrientschap12.pdf … ? Do you have any sources for your claim?
That link is a 404. Try this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1495189/ … *Some* waters contain clinically relevant levels of minerals, but never most of the DRI, and many American bottled waters are so low as to be about the same as distilled water. And nobody's dying by drinking them.

So if your diet is low on some of those minerals, drinking hard water will help... but drinking distilled water is not going to be any worse than drinking normal bottled water from low-mineralization springs, like Deer Park.
-
And if you have a balanced diet that covers your mineral DRI properly, then you will be absolutely fine drinking distilled water exclusively, and would get no benefit from drinking harder water.

(okay, it's not a 404 any more; their website is/was broken, the same exact URL was giving 404s a minute ago)

The more interesting thing in that report that I see is the part about cooking in DI water. I can see how that would compound the effect, if you have a low-mineral diet already *and* you drink DI water *and* you cook in DI water (in recipes that throw the water away).
