(This one is anti-distilled drinking, but I think it's rubbish. Colas aren't made from distilled water. Distilled water is too expensive! It's filtered tap water from any fountain and I'm sure the same at the bottling plants)

I've started questioning the "distilled water BAD!!" argument recently because it's another one of those stupid things that we take on faith and don't examine fully. Much like adding Cycle to your tank every week because you need to keep the beneficial bacteria in your filter strong in order to keep your tank healthy. Yep. To a layman it certainly sounds plausible and wise.
How about the distilled? Let's say it's so inert that it really does "leech" trace elements out of your body and leave you depleted.. That's a bad thing. My counter that I haven't seen addressed is that you EAT lots of food with lots of stuff in it. I absolutely refuse to believe on blind faith that water coming out of a bottle or my tap contains magical salts and minerals that are simply not present in any quantities in a balanced diet.
I'd love to see some solid scientific studies that go either way, but everything I've found has been either loosely-related, something about rabbits with Alzheimer's, or uncited new-age stuff.
