When I read this New York Times article about the burgeoning popularity of raw water in the Bay Area and elsewhere I have to admit I smiled. Considering these people consider fluoride a “mind-control drug that has no benefit to our dental health”, as well as a “deathly toxic chemical”, is it any surprise they think raw water is the greatest?
Here is one more quote from a raw water proponent about filtering water:
“You’re going to get 99 percent of the bad stuff out,” he said. “But now you have dead water.”
He said “real water” should expire after a few months. His does. “It stays most fresh within one lunar cycle of delivery,” he said. “If it sits around too long, it’ll turn green. People don’t even realize that because all their water’s dead, so they never see it turn green.”
What do you think of drinking raw water? Is there any validity to it or is this playing with fire?
