Of all the things which are causing me to skid towards an early grave, drinking pure water is the least of them. When will people just bloody stop fear mongering and telling everyone else how badly they are living their lives and mind their own business?
No one is telling you what to do? Someone asked a question. If you hate the thread topic then leave and don't respond, no one is making you.
Oh, for god's sake. Yes, they are. There are always nosey bloody 'doctors' or other scholars and researchers constantly trying to validate their work and their existence by telling everyone else how badly they are doing something and how their way is better etc.
There are so many other things you could be arguing about right now.
OK that's it. I'm switching to Beer -For Drinking, Cooking and Bathing.
Ohhh OK. So, claiming that "100% of the people who drink water will die", knowing that all human beings that exist on the planet need water to live, isn't fear mongering?
That is fear mongering.
I've heard that distilled water is acidic. I know you prefer that we keep our bodies as alkaline as possible, so how can distilled water be good for us?
It's true that distilled water is acidic, whether it comes from a store-bought jug or a distiller at home. The acidity occurs because carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the water, creating a very dilute solution of carbonic acid. Distilled water in a container that’s been sitting open for a while could have a pH in the range of 6. (For comparison, vinegar has a pH of about 4, or 100 times as acidic.) Your body responds to this trivial amount of acidity by producing more stomach acid. So long as your digestive system is in good shape, and you're not taking any medication to block the production of stomach acid, then the amount of acidity from distilled water won't affect any body processes.
I've read that distilled water leaches minerals out of your body. Is that healthy?
This assertion is made because distilled water doesn’t have any minerals of its own. However, most of the minerals we take in come from food, not water. And the fact is that your kidneys do a fine job of keeping your minerals in proper balance. As long as your kidneys are functioning normally, you’ll have no problems drinking distilled water.

Try to have an aquarium with using only distilled water pure water and no supplements, fish will die.

So if I catch rain water and just put it through a water filter but Do Not distill it will it still have minerals in it?

Here is what Dr. Allen Banik says…
“Distilled water is the greatest solvent on earth. (It is) the only water that can be taken into the body without damage to the tissues.
What we as scientists and the public have never realized is that minerals collected in the body from water are all inorganic minerals, which cannot
be assimilated (digested) by the body. The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals (from fruits and vegetables). All other
types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be disposed of or eliminated.
Today, many progressive doctors prescribe distilled water to their patients. All kidney machines operate on distilled water.” – Allen E. Banik, M.D. Author, “The Choice is Clear”
Which part is a Lie. Digesting Organic vs Inorganic makes sense to me.
The only minerals that the body can utilize are the organic minerals (from fruits and vegetables). All other types of minerals are foreign substances to the body and must be disposed of or eliminated.

Try grinding up a rock into a very fine powder and now mix this into Pure Water, this is "Mineral Water" water that has flowed over rocks for a very long time.
These "Minerals" form Kidney Stones because the body can't use them.
The same minerals can be found in an Organic Form in the food we eat.

This is also talked about in the article, Rain Water is the same as Pure Distilled Water, some people live of Rain Water all year round, and they aren't dropping dead.
ETA: Why put it through a Filter?.... it's Rain Water.
We are not designed to rely on minerals from water – plants are. Our bodies may use minerals from the water but water, as the source of minerals, will never provide all that is needed in the correct concentrations. In many cities like Seattle, Portland, New York and Boston, where the water supply comes from snow water run off, the mineral content is so low that its contribution to the recommended daily intake is inconsequential.

Quite possibly. But fish aren't land animals. Fish are subject to osmotic influences through their gills (which are continually exposed to water). That's why marine fish don't do well in fresh water, and vice versa.
Land animals don't really have that problem.
Distilled water is THE water which runs through ALL water-based life forms.
