Only tinfoil hat wearing, essential oil, doomsday prepper, Facebook ranting retards actually think drinking tap water is bad. They genuinly believe they put chemicals in the water to make it easier to brainwash you and control you, but they never say or know what the final result of this "totally real it's totally happening" brainwashing scheme is, maybe for shits and giggles? Idk, conspiracy theorists don't ever think there's any easy explanation for something, everyone and everything is out to get them and is meticulously planned.

Drinking plain water by itself isn't super hydrating because it flushes through you too fast to absorb as much of it as if you were drinking tea or squash or something.

it can be really bad but not necessarily, in NC everybody got their water from their own well until contamination from the iron mine poisoned the water table and the city was sued and forced to run water lines to half the county to supply clean water. In the older cities like in the northeast and rust belt are still using lead pipes and draw the water from contaminated sources like Flint Michigan. Send off a sample of your tape water to be tested, it only costs like $5. I did and turns out my water was extremely acidic with a pH of 3.8 which is not healthy to drink at all

Or just take larger quantities of rockish salt (that gay pink himalayan shit or the gay clear himalayan shit) and only have to drink a quarter of the water you thought you needed to drink*

And have a boost in sex drive and mood that makes you rethink "why the fuck did these retards tell me salt was so bad?"

What? We had a well and it was iron rich. Most of my friends hated our water because it tasted like blood. But there were some people who liked it for that very same reason.

Don't believe me, look up Highway 108 bypass in California. The state took our property and in that corridor was a very iron-rich water aquifer. It's all in the environmental reports.

All that iron, though -- I wonder if that contributed to my own kidney stones.

OK, point taken. My dad has that problem. Heart problems, stroke but no diabetes, yet. His brother does have that, though. It scares the shit out of me.

LOL. I used to eat 8 eggs a day and had completely average to healthier-than-normal vital stats. Sugar, seed oils, and the cucking of the fasted state by "3 square meals a day!" bullshit are far more insidious culprits than cholesterol.

Yeah. I keep hearing mixed messages about that. And I don't really know what to believe or at least try out. I normally just try and keep things balanced as far as cholesterol. I know it can be productive in the body and I know it can be detrimental in the body. But I'm not keen on giving up eggs or cheese. Meats, I don't really have an issue with. I keep seeing those are the fats that get one into trouble. What say you?

The fluoride compounds used in drinking water are industrial waste in need of a cheap disposal solution. Lobbyists working for rich corporate bodies have convinced government institutions to include it in water additives with inadequate scrutiny. The studies which prove it is safe do not take long-term low level exposure into account. They do not consider that some people may drink more water than others. They only prove that there are no immediate negative effects.

The mind control conspiracy you are talking about is a cheap narrative that makes it impossible to question this practice without being seen as a nutcase.

As I said, sugar, seed oils*, and not letting the body get into a fasted state are the three devils that swallow up the joy of living and aging gracefully.

If it comes out of a box or has an ingredient list beyond 4 items, it's probably fucking bad for you as a regular part of your diet.

And it's funny that you mention fats...

>quads of truth

That's an interesting article. I am saving this thread for my family when they wake up. It's funny... It all seems like common "horse sense" really.

I remember when my ex girlfriend had thyroid cancer and cooking for her was quite the challenge because of all the extra ingredients in stuff. You'd look down the items and there'd be "spices". What the fuck does that entail? So I'd write down all the important stuff and just make everything from scratch. Like you say, about four ingredients.

Best pizza ever.

Getting back to water, though, do Britta filters actually make a difference? My mom goes hiking for weeks at a time and will use multiple water purification methods (usually a pen sized carbon filter) for stuff like giardia and issues like that. That seems to work for her, so far. Also, sometimes she will use capsules as a last resort for stream water purification (I'm guessing chlorine / bromide concoction -- not sure). But I was wondering about those Britta carbon filters. I used one of those carbon filters for a water fountain for my cat's water which was constantly flowing and he loved it. Just a wondering random thought.

I had a neighbor in Portland, Oregon who had moved there from Alaska because of the Bull Run water supply so he could raise his family without fluoride "infecting" it.

Only the very first sentence. But seed oils are easy to avoid, if youre eating fried shit all the time and chasing it with dessert, yeah youre in for a bad time. Worst is the fried sweets like carnival food, but you dont exactly go there for your health. And "fasted state" just means leaving some time between your last meal and bedtime. Gorging yourself all the way from sunup to sundown is a surefire way to get diabetes. When you wake up, just fucking sit there. You can take a walk or run if youd like. But just sit there and let the brain process waking up, and you better not look at your phone right off. And when you sleep, same thing. Put the phone out of reach and just stare at the fucking ceiling, processing the day. Youll sleep like a baby. Even better if you dont have a lump of food in your midsection.

It is common sense. And you're right. Nobody teaches that stuff. I wake up, drink water and go for a walk... not far but maybe a mile and half or so. I meet older folks who do the same thing and have conversations with them, slowing my pace. It's nice and a great way to start the day. This is all before daybreak. In fact, I'm about to do so shortly after posting this. Getting my dad off of "fried" foods and stuff had been a problem. He loves things like sausages and such and I do, too. But I cannot justify what goes on in my bloodstream based on hereditary facts. I make pizza but I would never put pepperoni on that thing. I remember gaming with some people (D&D) and they'd always get Little Caesars' pizza and I couldn't partake. I never wanted to come off as a douche but I just couldn't do it. I'd chip in for money but I couldn't eat that stuff.
