Drinking Raw Water for "Natural Minerals"

Drinking raw water for 'natural minerals' is fundamentally reckless: public health data confirms 88% of U.S. waterborne disease outbreaks originate from untreated groundwater. E. coli and Giardia cause severe illness, whereas modern filtration eliminates these risks and saves thousands of lives annually. Compared to recommending standard tap water, this advice is at least 100% more dangerous, as it ignores a proven safety record that prevents countless hospitalizations each year.
