Sorry, what? Pure water isn't toxic. And you can get minerals from other sources.

That's like saying tap water is toxic because it doesn't contain a balanced diet of vitamins.

Distilled water isn't toxic per se, but it's definitely got harmful effects. It'll leach minerals out of your teeth, for instance.
