I never thought distilled water would actually absorb minerals and stuff from your body, is that true?

Sounds about right. Drinking water is named that way for a reason. I drink water all the time and i HATE flouride in water, it is sick. But yea anyway i always remember distilled water being bad to drink on a regular basis.

Personally i think it's bunk. Unless your diet is so fvcked that you're getting only trace minerals, i can't see this happening. I've been drinking distilled water for years now and i'm still alive. If you're concern, take a multivitamin.

You shouldn't drink distilled water yourself. Why would you? I don't konw about absorbing crap from your body, but it's definitely not supplying it with any minerals.

how much? a little once in a while won't matter

who would drink distilled water all the time? do you live on a island in the middle of the ocean?

I have a reverse osmosis system in my house, and it basically makes distilled water... Our tap water tastes funny by itself.

Distilled water is not the best to drink in larger quantities. Drinking way to much water of any kind is also bad for you.

if you drink a "normal" amount of soda and milk and juice, i doubt it will matter that you drink RO water

once in a while, distilled is ok.

but in large amounts, u dilute ur body of electrolytes.

and that's bad.

distilled water is fine for you. You have to realize that, in your diet, it's 99% likely you have too much salt and crap in your system anyways. So unless you're drinking a fairly obscene amount of it, or are on a very odd eating regimen, I think you'll be ok.

I drink over a gallon of distilled water a day.
