Bee, please describe tap water; safety of drinking filtered water

[Guest guest]

Hey Bee

I am still doing my research on the safety of drinking reverse osmosis

water. It would be most helpful if you would share the link(s) to your

source(s) of information in your articles where you say not to drink Reverse

Osmosis water because it leaches minerals from the body.

One must realize that if house water is treated via a Reverse Osmosis

system, it is not for the purpose of removing the good minerals but to clean

up otherwise unpotable water. The good minerals also get taken out since

the filtering system cannot be selective.

I am also trying to find an answer for my sister, who has city water in her

'tap' and is drinking reverse osmosis water instead of city water..

I believe that what is meant in your articles which state " safest water is

tap water " that the tap water is coming from a well. Is this correct?

Also, in my research, I have learned that the water coming to our home could

be " OK " but that the house piping might be adding garbage to the water.

Do you stand behind your articles' implication that ANY " tap " water treated

with a simple Brita or PUR filter is safe to drink?

Thank you, Bee. This is such an important topic for me; I want to be

positive of my choices...
