Who fasts with distilled water? Is this a thing now?

It's dangerous because it will dilute electrolyte concentrations in your body. Drink tap/bottled water. Distilled water is completely unnatural to the body and should only be consumed in emergencies when you literally have nothing else. Even then it's still probably not a good idea.

There's literally no benefit to choosing distilled water over tap/bottled water.
