I skimmed the paper, not its citations, so maybe some details are already explained in those sources.
But, I'm not sure of several things.
First, are these effects solely because the lack of minerals? If you drink water with a non-empty stomach, would that still be a problem? Or is it that pure water has some "magical" property that I hadn't thought of?
Second, anecdotally, I find distilled water to taste better. I've drunk tap water, boiled water, and distilled water side by side, and I prefer distilled.
Third, the longer term changes, can they be remedied if you take supplements or mineral-rich diet?
