@nliz Afair: because the water you normally ingest contains minerals and whatnot. If you'd drink pure water the cells in your body would "explode" thanks to osmosis trying to level the water/minerals % inside/outside the cell. Same if you drink eg salt water but the other way around :3

Really cool answer. I would never have thought of the question to begin with.

Doesn't osmosis or some filtering/distilling remove most of the minerals?

@Adventurer
I have no idea how much any of these actually do. What I remember is that it filters "bad" stuff, which I guess is bigger than minerals?
Distilling might get more out of that, still no idea how pure water that actually produces.
