Could you drink distilled water with a mineral pill (swg-empire.de)

Drinking pure H2O isn't good for you. As far as I know it could even be deadly. But what if you had a pill with all the minerals usually dissolved in water and washed it down with a nice big glass of distilled water? Would it be more or less the same as drinking tap water? Or would you need more time to dissolve the minerals? What if you threw the pill into the H2O and stirred?

Or am I missing something entirely? I think someone on Lemmy even explained to me the other day what is so bad about distilled water. But I'm stupid today and forgot.

My HS chemistry teacher was adamant that distilled water could pull filings out of your teeth. No idea if that's true or not, I doubt she is still alive to ask.

She died in the name of science.
