>Calcium isn't going to magically go into your distilled water and "remineralize" it... Fair enough. >Distilled water pulls minerals from cells and causes apoptosis. Does it do this because it's acidic? >...most people get their minerals from solid food anyways. Are you saying that because distilled water is acidic, and doesn't have minerals, it will destroy our bodies when fasting?

Not, is for osmotic pressure. Cells are burst by that water. Is a simplification, but is a "mechanical damage" Any strong acid able to "dissolve tissues" will kill cells of course (causing apoptosis), but is not the only way. Distilled water is not so acid. Your questions are too over-specialized, too vague or too complex to be answered in a few lines. I can understand the lack of motivation and answers. How much electrolytes are there in a single "bite" of "any particular food"... is an example of question impossible to answer. A mouthful is a variable and undefined amount of matter, and "any particular food" has an almost infinite range.

I am obviously uninformed on the topic, so belittling my questions seems like a way to sidestep answering the spirit of the questions. Edit: >Cells are burst by that water. Is a simplification, but is a "mechanical damage" From a quick google search, this seems to only happen when the cells are actually removed from the body and submerged in distilled water. Do you believe that drinking distilled water causes blood cells to burst in our veins?

    > this seems to only happen when the cells are actually removed Not, this is false. All alive tissues are subject to osmotic regulation. Is a basic mechanism to protect the cell integrity. > drinking distilled water causes blood cells to burst in our veins? Not in your veins, in your gut. Is well known that drinking big amounts of distilled water causes diarrhea. A glass of water will not have much effect on you. All depends on the dose. (Injecting distilled water directly in your veins could cause blood cells to burst, on the other hand).

Stating that distilled water caused cells to explode in your stomach and give you diarrhoea are some extraordinary claims that I have never come across before, and I think they require some sources to back up. Edit: Some googling and I am mostly finding support for distilled water, and nothing as dramatic as what you are claiming about exploding cells in your stomach. Even the doctors that seem to oppose distilled water support its use for detoxing. I think the idea of distilled water being bad is an old myth that is still hanging around. Edit2: I just found out that all the navy ships and submarines provide distilled water as the only drinking source for their sailors. Considering that they are at sea for months at a time, I think this completely debunks the myth that distilled water "explodes cells" and causes diarrhoea.

        Basic biology I guess that sailors eat something also in all those months, including a fair amount of salt in their diets.

        I am going to assume you are now guessing since you haven't presented any sources to back up your arguments.

        Is not my duty to compile and spoon-feed for you a list of curated texts on basic biology. You can easily obtain this list of sources with a little effort by your part. Just type "biology handbook" in google and you will have more than you need to satisfy your curiosity.
