    Is that actually true? I’ve looked this up a while and it said it’s basically overblown or urban myth (wiki). Basically we’ve been drinking rainwater forever (I know it’s not pure) and you get so much stuff through food that it might lead to deficiency but not quickly.

      Wikipedia isn’t a source you concaveman. Even just clicking the citation numbers and finding the actual source at the bottom would be fine, instead you chose the stupid route. I’ll admit the risk was overblown by sensationalism journalists, but it’s not a myth in the slightest.

        That is what I was asking because of your outrageous claim (death within a week). But of course you’re just a loudmouth.

          The first sentence was a rhetorical question and the second two were arguing with Wikipedia as your citation. You never asked anything in good faith.
