Americans had before the 1950's?

If a kid is fed purified water during most of it's youth, what is the
effect of not being exposed to common bacteria, minerals and other
things that do occur in regular drinking water? Some day they might
have to drink the real stuff. It would be bad to get a case of
Montezuma's Revenge from perfectly good tap water. ;o)

Some bottled water is less pure than the tap water. It may taste better
but is not necessarily of higher quality.

I understand most bottled water is just run through reverse osmosis at

Some is just bottled NYC tap water. ...the better stuff.
