Health Science 101 Guidelines

Greetings! Welcome to Health Science.

Here's where we talk about the latest fad diets, the advantages of vegetarianism, the joy of exercise and good health. Like everywhere else at Tweb our decorum rules apply.

This is a place to exchange ideas and network with other health conscience folks, this isn't a forum for heated debate.

    Depends on the source - as long as the water isn't contaminated - and nothing is peeing upstream - it's fine.

    However, since most younger people have had very little exposure to the bacteria normally in water, not sure this is going to go well. Your body needs exposure to germs to learn to fight them but when an immune system has been pretty well isolated, suddenly introducing bacteria can have a negative effect - the immune system gets swamped by what wouldn't have been a problem to a more robust immune system.

      Are you sure it's not treated in any way? I'm pretty sure it's always treated here, regardless of source. My tap water tastes awful, so I buy spring water to drink.

        After carefully reading all the posts in this thread I have decided that I will drink only cooked water.
        Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

          Yes. On rare occasion it gets temporarily or partially chlorinated, but it isn't usually treated at all.

          It's just a product of the city sitting on top of a river plain with really good underground aquifers. Most cities chlorinate their water here, mine is just conveniently located.

                  I think that was a factor in our Lutherans (who shared our Church building for 5 years) hurrying up to build their new building and move out. We had a strict "no alcohol on the property" rule, and they had to use non-alcoholic wine for communion.

                  (That policy was made before I became pastor, and I would gladly have made an exception)

                    Not a Methodist - we only get 'em wet once.
