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

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

people see it. .

Yeah, Camden is such a garden spot! rolls eyes
