"I've read/heard that drinking this mineral-free water can have long-term adverse health effects (leaches minerals from your body into the mineral free water?). I see articles for/against this theory. Interested to hear comments from anybody who actually knows details."
Take a look at:

My favorite quote from that thread:
"If it is a concern & all you have to drink is ultrapure water, you can stir the water with a metal stainless spoon or your finger first & it will magically transform itself from ultrapure water to just water."
- bch 15y agoThanks for the link, but not very convincing. The site itself is a forum for the metal finishing industry; like chrome and silver plating, not something I'd hold up as expert in human health and diet. Most of the discussion oscillates between "Yes it's harmful. If you want to consume DI water that does x, do so at your peril." and "No it's not harmful. Why are you afraid of something we already use for x?"
