Distilled water/pure H2O is NOT healthy. It lacks electrolytes.

The amount of electrolytes in spring water is so small compared to a peanut, or a raisin, much less a banana that it's relevant.

Unless you're talking about Gatorade or Brawndo, which of course has "what plants crave".

The amount of electrolytes in non-distilled (e.g. spring) water is negligible. Any minerals/salts your body needs are easily satisfied by the food you eat.
