While I take the whole distilled water thing with a grain of salt[0]
(no pun intended), there's little doubt that minerals matter. Here's an
interesting (although coffee-centric) link on the issue:

[0]I suspect there's some truth to it, as a person getting barely
adequate amounts of minerals and drinking lots of mineral-free
liquid might find themselves in a bad situation. But I don't
believe drinking distilled water is, in and of itself, the Big Scary
Monster some Web sites make it out to be.
