Rainwater is distilled water. Check your facts and get back to us, Distilled is the purest of water, You're trying to tell me that water that falls from the sky has no impurities? I believe he's referring to the fact that rain water starts as ground water, goes through an evaporative process and then precipitates from air from condensation, a process similar to distillation.

A friend of mine drinks quite a bit of distilled water. He claims it makes his joints and himself overall feel a little better. Of course his well water has a pretty high mineral content.
I think it may help flush a few toxins and other crap from the body that builds up over time, but I wouldn't want to drink it all the time. Even a water softener replaces one mineral ion with another.......either sodium or potassium.

That’s all the local store has left. 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. Same with RO (reverse osmosis) water. RO water needs to have critical minerals placed back into the water to make long term usage safe! memtb I've not done any studies with lab rats, but think this would be an interesting one. My simple theoretical experiment that anyone can do isn't 100% following the scientific methodology. But shows the difference between distilled/ RO and hard water. They can wash clothes using one then the other and see the difference. Water binds to most particles. It's not proof of what happens in the body, but people who are interested can infer their own conclusions. One thing that is important to all of us is to supplement the poor low quality food that most of us buy. Most soil is very poor quality and given NPK. We require more than NPK to survive and thrive. Tomorrow morning I will add methylsulfonylmethane to a glass of water. There's many noticable benefits that I would not get from the demineralized water sources.

Some ‘distilled’ water is only deionized.
Healthy, natural water has a bond angle of 104.5 degrees.
I think when get to jacking around with ultra distillation, i vaguely recall the bond angle widening. Was some back and forth on that altered water not being good for cells in your body and blood cells.
Been 15 years since Gen Chem and the young phD talking about this. May be junk science. Was a hallway conversation anyway.
Happy Camper, you got anything on this? Help me out.
I get my water out a slab of limestone and we pump it through a reverse osmosis. None of this debate makes a poot to me. The goodyear blimp could crash into the WTP over in town, wouldnt be no sweat offa muh sack

It's water that has evaporated, and condensed. As was said, that's how little raindrops are formed.

Rainwater is distilled water. I wouldn’t think so after it’s cleaned the atmosphere on the way to the cistern.

Slumlord,
Once that bond angle gets beyond 110° it's like drinking draino. I would not use it in a car battery after that! 😉. 😄 Seriously, I took a lot if chemistry, but it's been a while.
Limestone? Cool. Is it an artesian well?

Rainwater is distilled water. I may be wrong But evaporation, sublimation, condensation is not distillation Distillation necessitates heating water to Kelvin: 373.2 K Celsius: 100ºC Fahrenheit: 212ºF That doesn’t occur in the normal rain cycle. You can get those temps in nature but it would volcanic or other extreme heat. But then, that’s just a boiling off. Capturing it and recondensing it would be distillation. Hence, a “still” with manipulation and control.

The best tasting water I ever drank was from a cave in a WV mountain. It was so full of minerals that you had an after "taste" that lasted for minutes.
I don't think the OP has anything to worry about. It's just that some like to debate about whatever floats their boat.
Later!

The big bang came first. And of course, after that The Big Guy had to take a leak.

Maybe the Big Bang was the Big Guy fartin' before making water?

Hence, a “still” with manipulation and control. When water goes from the liquid phase to the vapor phase, minerals in solution are left behind and that happens whether it's just evaporation at ambient temperatures or by boiling. And that water vapor can precipitate back to the liquid phase in a condenser or in the atmosphere. The processes are different but removal of minerals happens with both.

One thing hasn't changed since I signed up here.
Campfire chemistry, biology, medicine, and physics is at least as good as on the other side of the campus at the Campfire Philosophy school.
