    TAP water?

    I don’t even DRINK the tap water my city gives out, as I know it causes stomach aches. If a stomach struggles with something, the thought of putting it into someone’s veins… yeesh.

      idk why you are getting downvoted. Tap water in a lot of parts of America is polluted from old plumbing, this is established fact. That’s why most people have filters.

        Depends on where you are at, but the bigger issue isn’t minerals or even lead. It’s the microbiology both in the water and general environment.

      Don’t know why you got downvoted, the article literally states tap water isn’t sterile and will cause major problems.

        I suspect it’s people in areas with decent tap water using their personal anecdotes as evidence that tap water doesn’t give stomach aches.
