Or when you distill the water do you have some mineral salts or something to throw in? Just curious.
You know, I looked into that claim, because I too only drink distilled water. While I have no definitive proof, I believe it to be complete propaganda. It makes no sense. The amount of mineral content in food far exceeds that in water. Also, the body is quite able to maintain osmotic balance. I regard it as similar to the marketing technique of "pH balanced" water -- although pH is something that can be measured, and no one wants to drink lye or acid, the stomach is quite able to maintain an appropriate environment all on its own.
I followed the Science, and all I found was the Money.
