When is this stupid myth finally going to die off? Our body is horrible at processing compounds that are not bound organically, so any pure mineral you take up just taxes your internal filtartion. Your body will gladly take minerals and vitamins when it is organically bound (e.g. in a fruit or vegetable). Eat some of those and you'll be fine.
This is not just theoretical, we own a reverse-osmosis filrtation system that produces water that is very clean (around 1 ppm - compared to hundreds in regular tap water, probably even cleaner than distilled water) and I'm an avid water drinker (3-5 l/day) since a few years. I don't eat food suplements either, but try to get some reasonable amount of vegetables in my diet and a salad now and then. I'm feeling fine.. so much for minerals and ions - bah.
