There is an urban legend that drinking distilled water will "leach" minerals out of your body and cause death.
In fact it helps to remove minerals from the body that cells have eliminated or not used, it does not "leach" out minerals that have become part of your body's cell structure.
Another is that it can't be healthy for you because it has no mineral content, but there is no proof that we get any benefit from minerals in non-distilled water anyway. We get our mineral needs from food, not water.
Yet another false claim propagated by filter manufacturers is that it will cause your teeth to deteriorate, not true.
A quick search on google will give you all the proof you need.
