Distilled draws minerals from your body.
It's best to drink it at the same time as good mineral supplements. Use whats available until you get a good quality purifier. It beats being dehydrated.

Take a multi vitamin
It has absolutely no salts or minerals...
So it may pull some trace things out of your body (some say) but if it sits in your bladder I think it would balance out...???
Probably urban myth...

Distilled water lacks the minerals in tap or bottled drinking water. It can cause diarrhea in some people if consumed in large quantities.

As Happy Camper stated, a vitamin/mineral supplement can help offset any negative effects of drinking distilled water.

All years at sea on a US Navy destroyer drinking distilled water. No wonder I'm the way I am.


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

No risk at all, unless you are not eating anything at all for days on end, but only consuming distilled water. Any minerals you find in water are inorganic, and of no use to your body anyway (You piss them all out, without making use of any of them). The minerals you need for health and life are the organic minerals you find in your food. Folk who say otherwise are know-nothings.

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..

Rain water contains small amounts of carbon, sulpher, and sodium chloride.

Yep, and plenty of people drink exclusively rainwater with zero ill effect.

It's not poison .
Its just that water is a solvent, especially when it contains no minerals.
If you are deficient, you will be giving up more from your food and blood stream and may become more deficient in the necessary nutrients.
Young people with dense bones and good health won't notice the effects as much as an old timer.
These days men are commonly osteoporotic from poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle and processed foods/beverages. Short term use = little to no risk.
I wouldn't drink it long term.

Pop/soda is far worse.

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.

How could water possibly draw minerals out of your body? And then where would they go?

Other bottled waters taste horrible to me, and/or make my mouth VERY dry... which doesn't make much sense, but I have read that some bottled water has minerals added that supposedly act as a drying agent.... so they say.

I grew up drinking good well water. Hard water. SO good. But I don't have that anymore. I find distilled water to be the least offensive of all bottled water I have tried.
