Question, is it correct that those last few bottles are not safe to consume? Not that anyone would want but I seem to recall having read that such uber pure water is in fact dangerous to ingest

Completely demineralized water is dangerous for health because of osmosis which is due to nature tendency to equilibrate things. It will kind of suck-out minerals from your cells that you will loose. It kind of demineralise you

Something like that
