ELI5: Difference in drinking distilled water and mineral water. How it affects your health?
gpt
Distilled water doesn't contain minerals (and actually draws tiny amounts from your body), but you usually take in enough of them from the food you eat. Also it tastes blandly, and that's about it.

So if you're in a situation where you don't have access to bottled or safe tap water (or if for whatever reason you love its non-taste), you can drink distilled water instead.
