Most will already know people drink more rainwater in the Country but many don’t know the rainwater is acidic and low in magnesium and calcium.
Most know people drink ground water in the City but may not know magnesium and calcium are at higher levels and the water is alkaline.

Both City and Country people eat the same foods but the higher magnesium diet is why the City people consistantly live longer and have less problems.

The only obvious difference is the Country people have less magnesium and calcium in their diet and the end result is more depression, heart, dental, diabetes and dental….

ADWG 2011 Quote “There is some indication that soft water, with a hardness of less than about 75 mg/L, may adversely affect mineral balance”
This is best described as very slow dehydration that eventually becomes metabolic acidosis and can take anywhere upto a couple of generations in a cool climate for any symptoms to even begin to appear & much quicker in a hot climate.

But if you read the ADWG disclaimer it is clearly still your responsibility to decide to drink the water and they are not liable in anyway.

Check youself just google WHO “Health risks from drinking demineralised water” and “magnesium and calcium minimum levels suggested in both 2006 & 2009 reports the WHO produced.

The government rebate for the rainwater tanks is a good thing but not informing the public the water tanks are indirectly adding to the rural health statistics is not.

Public perception is really just a guess based on another guess………

I do not guess anymore and the above is a good enough reason for me.
