As a former sailor who actually operated a distilling unit, I'll tell you.

The water was distilled, then chemically treated with a cartridge that added a small amount of iron, barium, and calcium.

It was NOT mineral/chemical free once it reached the potable water distribution system..

If that was done, it was done based on ignorance. Distilled water doesn't draw organic minerals from your body. It does draw toxic inorganic minerals from your body, which is a good thing.
