   For such a contentious  subject, I'm surprised there isn't more
research on the effects of drinking distilled water. It makes all kinds
of "common sense" that DW , the most universal solvent might tend to
deplete minerals (electrolytes), being the nature of the beast. Some
people have been reported to have severe depletion when drinking DW,
while others report improved health! Most people that are ill have
electrolyte imbalances. 
  On the other hand there have been fifty studies in nine countries, that show better health (especially cardiovascular) and longevity when drinking hard water. So there is plenty of diametrically opposed research.
   Humans get most of their minerals that can be assimilated from organic source (plant and animal). Ionic inorganic forms found in water are the exception.
   Mineral devoid water does not exist in nature, DW is denatured. What an excellent foundation for a mineral dense drink!!!
   The jury is still out on this controversy.

David,
 When I was online researching the "minerals stripped" statments a few years back, I could not find a shred of actual research to support it.

     Distilled H2O is stripped of all minerals. This makes it super absorbent and will dissolve the minerals out of the body, add the good minerals back. R/O strips the minerals out to making it acidic, too.

This statement doesn't really stand up to much 'common sense' examination and I doubt there's any credible research to support it either.
