Now, distilled water is a whole other animal. It’s not born; it’s manufactured. The process is straight out of a mad scientist’s playbook: boil the water until it turns into steam, then catch that steam and condense it back into liquid. In doing so, you leave behind everything—minerals, bacteria, pesticides, your coffee grounds, your hopes and dreams. The result? Water so pure it’s practically naked.
Distilled water is so empty it’s desperate. It will try to steal minerals from anything it touches—including your pipes, your kettle, and your stomach. That’s why you should never drink it exclusively for long periods. Seriously, people have given themselves heart arrhythmias and bone problems from a strict distilled water diet. Your body needs those minerals, and distilled water is like a clingy friend who skips out on the bill and steals your snacks.
