It’s lacking all sorts of minerals, electrolytes etc that the body needs. I doubt a glass of the stuff wouldn’t cause problems but if you only drink pure water then you’re going to start having problems pretty fast.
Your body must regulate ion levels - sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc. Drinking pure water in excess will force you to produce urine, and when you take a piss, you’ll lose some of those ions with it. Big, big problem. That’s why you need salt in your diet.
You could certainly make up the electrolytes and minerals in other ways (drinking distilled water may even increase appetites for those types of foods). Still, drinking a liquid that leeches minerals out of the tissue around it isn’t healthy

It’s basically distilled water, no?

I think you’re just salty.
So if your diet is a bit high in salt, would distilled water help counteract it a bit?
Yea I think you’re fine drinking like a litre of distilled water. Too much of anything will kill you, even regular water.
Would you really? Food also contains minerals and electrolytes.
