Yeah there’s a reason for that… distilled doesn’t strip, so there won’t be any source that corroborates that statement.

It does, for the simple reason that urine (as well as sweat) necessarily contains electrolytes, so you lose those.

The misconception lies in thinking that tap or mineral water somehow don't do this. They contain some electrolytes, but not really a significant amount, as you primarily get them from food.
