I've often heard that drinking distilled water is bad due to it leaching minerals/electrolytes. Has anyone done the math on this to either validate or debunk this? A 16oz bottle of San Pellegrino has 20mg of sodium. How can such a small difference in sodium intake (and other minerals) have a meaningful influence on electrolyte levels?

It is a common misconception that drinking distilled water is dangerous. Water isn't a major source of minerals. [source](https://biology.stackexchange.com/a/7194 https://biology.stackexchange.com/a/7194)
