    Add raspberry ketones and green tea extract. You should be fine.

    If this is a joke man, you shouldn't be joking about this. Distilled water will draw out all the good minerals from your system. That stuff isn't safe.

    I am curious about this too.

    Also, can you drink evaporated milk? Do you have to steam it first? Wait, that's wrong. Freeze it back to liquid? Does it count as water?

    We would use distilled water to play a really really mean joke on people we didn't like when I was on my ship.

    Distilled water will make you poop. and poop. and poop. and poop some more. Just when you think your done, you poop even more.

    Pour it in a glass for any in-laws you don't like, who will be staying for a day or two, you won't see them much.

    ETA: to clarify, troll understood before commenting... just wanted to let you know the fun that can be had with it.
    Also- "purified" water doesn't count. Has to be true, nearly pure H20.

    I began drinking distilled water a month ago. I feel so much better. I had my gallbladder out years ago and would have constant pain from the site. I have learned that the calcium carbonate from our treated water can build up and distilled water is simply h2o. No impurities.

    Our tap water has zinc, arsenic, calcium carbonate, RADIUM !, phosphorus, haloacetic acids and more. A filter doesn't get that out. So I drink distilled now. I make my ice cubes out of it, too.

    I have had no bad effects. There are enough minerals in the foods that I eat to make up for what is not in the water.

    Yeah, the taste is different, but that's because there isn't all the JUNK in it that I was so used to before.

    Distilled water is simple H20 with no impurities. How can that leach minerals out of one's system? The process of steam distillation is simply evaporation and condensation, it's what rainwater would have been before we mucked up the world's air. How can it possibly be bad for a person?

    Totally agree; I wouldn't buy anything from that man let alone believe a word he says.
