Why can people not safely drink 100% ultra pure water?

I don’t know if it’s like it could hurt you from drinking it at all or if you just can’t drink it for sustained periods of time

Not sure if this is what you mean, but water is a really good solvent, where stuff dissolves into it. Like sugar and carbon dioxide to make soda.

If you have really, I mean really really ultra pure water, it’ll behave like a strong acid/base and will eat stuff. If you have a cup of it it’ll dissolve minerals from the cup and suck gases from the air just by being there. It doesn’t take a lot to stabilize but I don’t know exactly how dangerous it is to drink.
