      Pretty sure that’s not how it works. Water is mixed with a soup of stuff the moment it goes in your body, and our digestive system/diet is not as simple as osmotic pressure pushing water into cells (and somehow pushing other substances out?) if that’s what you’re getting at.

      It doesn’t strip minerals, it just doesn’t replace them, eat enough salty foods and it’s a non issue. Distilled isn’t stripping stuff, it just doesn’t replenish it.

      So your source is what…? Some smart ass comment that you don’t even comprehend yourself? Provide an actual source if you think that’s what is the issue.

        Source for the salty foods? Salt in food is normally sodium chloride, not the calcium or magnesium which you need to replenish.

          You don’t drink milk or take a multivitamin, veggies, fruits? There’s lots of sources, it doesn’t strip, so you don’t need to eat extra.

            You’re right, drinking distilled water is perfectly fine, just take a multivitamin to compensate for the lack of minerals.

              You don’t NEED a multivitamin, most doctors recommend it because people’s diets are shit.

              Distilled water isn’t a factor here dude. Jesus. If you aren’t getting enough minerals from your food, regular water isn’t gonna make a difference either.

              Why are you STILL arguing this silly opinion? You’ve provided nothing to support that water will deplete your bodies minerals, let along distilled being a factor in it.
