Those two things are true, but drinking de-ionized or distilled water occasionally won't hurt you, so don't freak out if you have a drink of it. Just don't make it your main supply of water. Cooking with it can diminish some of the value of the food, too.
Distilled water becomes acidic because it sucks carbon dioxide from the air, but I've never had a problem with photo chemistry.
I am left wondering how many commercial beverages are made using deionized water, and if soft drinks (or heaven forbid, beer) is made of it.
