Is Distilled/ Deionized water actually bad?

I only have access to distilled water, deionized, and tap, and since the tap in my region has dangerous levels of heavy metals in addition to other nasty shit like fluoride, doesnt make sense to use it.
What is so bad with distilled water? is deionized as bad?
people on here have made pretty unconvincing arguments, citing it leaches nutrients... do dissolved solids in water (minerals or rock dust) really make a difference
(also i generally get my ratios correct enough that when i hydrate my grain, there is very little runoff which nutrients can be leached) So far, i have used both distilled and deionized without issues, for grain spawn, LC, and agar
but I am genuinely asking what if non-distilled/deionized water will make a considerable difference?
Thank you

They way you talk about your water, I think you just gave away your location lol.

Yeah, sounds like the water tech at my water treatment plant! 
Dont use deionized water, could be harmful maybe. I know if a person drinks deionized water, they can get sick. Use only distilled/purified or artesian.

100% H2O is not potable. You'll get sick from drinking only that. You dilute your body slowly and will end up with muscle cramps and eventually cardiac arrest.
There's no harm in drinking a glass. Or even a few. It's just not healthy on the long run.

TBF, with the amount of salts in an average person's diet, you'd be fine most likely.

Idk what you plan to use it for but I use distilled water for agar. Never caused any problems but agar comes out super clear.

Yeah, it's in no way harmful. It's like D2O (deuterated water, heavy water). It is safe to drink a glass of. You can heat plants watered with it, but you will get sick eventually.

I'm bored during quarantine and I've started cooking more. I'd like to grow fresh mushroom, not psychedelic. The delicious kind.

ive used it for everything so far, Agar, LC, Grain spawn hydration successfully. I just used for bulk sub too few days ago and so far looks good

not sure what not potable means...but my logic was that since youre always adding the water to nutrient dense sources( turbinado lc, gypsum graain spawn, nutrient agar, gypsum coir, ect) as long as you get the ratios good enough so that there is perfect hydration and very little runoff water, nothing is being leached...
i dont necessarily agree about RO/deionized leaching from the body either . all ive been drinking for years, tho i rarely drink it as just water unless from a copper vessel which already will change its charge and dissolved solids, but otherwise i also always add lime or use it to make tea/decoctions, so its no longer just 100%h20, its h20 with tons of dissolved nutrients

Edit: Nevermind, I was making a point about acidosis until I finished reading what you said about Lime.

To pile on to the derailment of this thread, here's a list of cities with water contaminated by PFAS, "the forever chemical." A quick search finds tens of millions of Americans are exposed to high levels of a variety of unsafe chemicals in their tap water. Flint isn't even in most Top 10's anymore.

Definitely super happy to live in a rural area with a deep never ending well of water better than I can buy. Seemingly small thing but I'd be pissed to go back to town bullshit.
