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.

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.
(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).

I guess it’s the same argument as iodised salt vs pure salt; if you have enough iodine in your diet it makes no difference. As usual, I think the answer is neither DI is bad, nor DI is good, but it’s hard to say anything other than that to someone who doesn’t care about detail
