Codswallop.

Drinking distilled water will not kill you or harm you.  It will take a
chunk out of your wallet.

Just give it the "internet sniff test" and see if thise idea passes.  Google
"drink distilled water danger" or dangerous or unhealthy or deadly and have
a gander at the websites that come up.  You get a double fistful of "modern
life kills you" websites, a whole boatload of commercial websites that are
selling either, you guessed it, distillation systems for home use or RO
systems, but no reputable medical or governmental webs warning of the
dangers.

Now if you happen to have a bottle od D2O or T2O on hand you shouldn't drink
that.  :-)
