GreenMatters.com, whose website introduces them as being "for people looking to live more sustainably, fight the climate crisis, and learn about environmental justice" recently published the above-titled article, which was in agreement with our blog post, The Problem With Purity: Why Natural Spring Water Beats Purified Water.

Why is purified water bad for you?
The main problem with purified water is that it's too clean. There are plenty of toxins and metals in unregulated water, but there are also minerals in drinking water that we need to be healthy, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, according to El Dorado Natural Spring Water.

This practice started in the 1940s, and in 2018, it was estimated that 73 percent of the U.S. population had access to fluoridated water. Although this is generally seen as a good thing in terms of dental hygiene, it's also a bit of a controversial issue.
