Other Answers:
I can't see distilled water being bad for you--it's simply water that contains no minerals or additives that tap water would contain, such as the flouride that is put in there in many places that supposedly helps your teeth (but which can also kill you if something goes wrong on their end).

Who told you distilled water was bad for you? Trust me.it isn't.

Some of the old-time herbalists claim (without any scientific evidence, by the way) that distilled water "pulls" minerals out of the body. It's an outdated idea based on really poor science.

It shouldn't have any effect whatsoever on the bacteria in your digestive system--or any other bacteria in your body, for that matter.

Distillation is the process in which water is boiled, evaporated and the vapour condensed. Distilled water is free of dissolved minerals and, because of this, has the special property of being able to actively absorb toxic substances from the body and eliminate them. Studies validate the benefits of drinking distilled water when one is seeking to cleanse or detoxify the system for short periods of time (a few weeks at a time). Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.
