Not, is for osmotic pressure. Cells are burst by that water. Is a simplification, but is a "mechanical damage"
Any strong acid able to "dissolve tissues" will kill cells of course (causing apoptosis), but is not the only way. Distilled water is not so acid.
Your questions are too over-specialized, too vague or too complex to be answered in a few lines. I can understand the lack of motivation and answers. How much electrolytes are there in a single "bite" of "any particular food"... is an example of question impossible to answer. A mouthful is a variable and undefined amount of matter, and "any particular food" has an almost infinite range.
> this seems to only happen when the cells are actually removed
Not, this is false. All alive tissues are subject to osmotic regulation. Is a basic mechanism to protect the cell integrity.
> drinking distilled water causes blood cells to burst in our veins?
Not in your veins, in your gut. Is well known that drinking big amounts of distilled water causes diarrhea. A glass of water will not have much effect on you. All depends on the dose. (Injecting distilled water directly in your veins could cause blood cells to burst, on the other hand).

Stating that distilled water caused cells to explode in your stomach and give you diarrhoea are some extraordinary claims that I have never come across before, and I think they require some sources to back up.
Edit: Some googling and I am mostly finding support for distilled water, and nothing as dramatic as what you are claiming about exploding cells in your stomach.
Even the doctors that seem to oppose distilled water support its use for detoxing. I think the idea of distilled water being bad is an old myth that is still hanging around.
Edit2: I just found out that all the navy ships and submarines provide distilled water as the only drinking source for their sailors. Considering that they are at sea for months at a time, I think this completely debunks the myth that distilled water "explodes cells" and causes diarrhoea.
Is not my duty to compile and spoon-feed for you a list of curated texts on basic biology. You can easily obtain this list of sources with a little effort by your part. Just type "biology handbook" in google and you will have more than you need to satisfy your curiosity.
I will entertain this thread with one more comment. Can you provide just one source that says distilled water explodes stomach cells and causes diarrhoea?
This isnt a debate for someone who doesn't even know basic biology. Half your requests asking for specific details show that you are unable to even string two facts together to learn a consequence. No one is going to give you the minutia you are looking for - asking "how does that work?" in a nested fashion is what kids do...and its a never ending game that adults try not to play.
Distilled water is both acidic and osmotically poor due to its low levels of dissolved solids. Like was mentioned 10 comments ago, drinking distilled water will sap your body of electrolytes and other minerals. This can include bone loss due to resorption. However it isn't the worst thing if you consume a good diet of solid food containing minerals - which most people do.
But you decided to consume distilled water...on a fast...without taking vitamins or minerals. It takes a real philistine to believe in the benefits of something that is actually killing them - because they read it from some dieting blog. Googling distilled water comes up with many medical and health journal papers. But we dont even need that because basic cell membrane physiology which is a standard pre-med class, deals with all this stuff. I wont continue the debate.
This is just an internet forum, and I did google distilled water, and I found an interview with a doctor saying he recommends distilled water, with no added minerals or electrolytes is good to help fight cancer.
I am curious is there is even a single source on the internet with real data on any negative effects of distilled water, cause I have only seen comments on forums, but no proof.
Are you aware most treatments for cancer are poisons? At least the amateur blog you linked gets that right...There is no proof toxins will get removed, just proof of the opposite; that your body will start to destroy itself in order to survive. Shooting yourself in the head is also a great cancer cure.
In summary, you buy into the "pain must be good!" ascetic BS. You have insecurity and by fasting, you believe you must be rewarded for your sacrifice. Well, it sucks that you actually get more pain for your pain - break down your body, lose muscle, produce ammonia, urea, and all sorts of toxins, pull out stored toxins and use them because your body is so desperate on its low reserves of vital nutrients..and destroy your organs. Bravo!
Please dont dig this distilled watering hole any deeper.
I read the link you posted [0] and it did not say distilled water is bad for you. I don't disagree with the statement "extreme fasting can be dangerous".
>You have insecurity...
Why are you making this personal?
>break down your body, lose muscle, produce ammonia, urea, and all sorts of toxins, pull out stored toxins and use them because your body is so desperate on its low reserves of vital nutrients..and destroy your organs. Bravo!
According to this video _none_ of that happens. He addresses all of those claims. (provides proof from actual medical studies)
The medical studies he presents (not his own) state the opposite of what you are saying. If you don't want to watch the video, I think this article is similar:
