Drinking pure H2O isn’t good for you. As far as I know it could even be deadly. But what if you had a pill with all the minerals usually dissolved in water and washed it down with a nice big glass of distilled water? Would it be more or less the same as drinking tap water? Or would you need more time to dissolve the minerals? What if you threw the pill into the H2O and stirred?

Or am I missing something entirely? I think someone on Lemmy even explained to me the other day what is so bad about distilled water. But I’m stupid today and forgot.

    I think that there’s a line which makes destillier water bad. Like when you’re drinking 1250 ml destillied water it’s definitely healthy, but 2500 ml, over a long time, will surely cause some side effects

      Everything is poisonous at some level. Distilled water has absolutely no minerals in it so in a very high quantity it will potentially cause cell death through osmosis - it’s also the case that if you exclusively drink it your body will constantly flush minerals you get from water in your pee while not replacing them. Do shit in moderation and enjoy the occasional glass of tap water.
