Probably not: differences (unavailable in the 1950s) include:
-- fluoridated toothpaste
-- better dentistry including fluoride treatments by dentists.
-- synthetic sweeteners (non-sugar) in processed foods.
A likelier effect from today's diet is fatter children.

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
a larger scale. The bottle label might mention this RO fact.

We use osmosis water (pure H2O). because the tap water here is water from
hell. Not good to drink. So I guess we get our Flouride just from
toothpaste. WW

(I use Crest, which is, mostly because my brother was in one of the
tests they used to push in their ocmmercials. He was at Indiana
University from 1958 to 60. He told them when the test started that he
planned to go to med school after his junior year (which was possible
then, but there is no med schooll where IU is) and they said, Okay.
But whenhe showed up for his last appt, and told them he was leaving,
they were mad at him1

He/we were left with lots of big unmarked tubes of Crest, with or
without fluuroide, he never found out. So I'm ;used to it and I use
that.

You're not getting bacteria from tap water if you live in the USA, as all
municipal water sources are required to be chlorinated/ozonated to kill
microorganisms.

As to tap water, my local water comes from snowmelt, is chlorinated, and has
some minerals in it at a high pH so that it doesn't rot out pipes. It's
delicious.

And that's probably true.

I use old apple juice bottles that I fill from the tap and sometimes
let them sit around for weeks before I drink it, and it's always fine.
'
When my car was overheating in Asheville, NC, and I'd used the 3
gallons of water I had with me, I asked a guy who stopped to help if
he had any water. He drove off saying he'd get some, and he went
to a store and bought me two gallons of "drinking water", which he
woudln't take money for. It cost about 2 dollars. By this time, the
car was started and I could make it to a gas station and refill my 3
gallon containers, so even though it was basically tap water, I used
tap water of my own and not his water, until 2 months later, when I
started to drink it. It was fine, of course.

I'm glad you told me abou tthis. Those Europeans are pretty smart,
and I'll stop drinking water now.

Maybe I'll just buy those aerosol cans of whipped cream, and spray
some in my mouth when I'm thirsty.

The only reason bottled water tastes better is because they add
artificial water flavoring to it. That makes it taste like water, and
covers up the taste of the plastic from the bottle which always gets
absorbed into the water and besides adding a nasty plastic taste, it
causes cancer.

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 a larger scale. The bottle label might mention this RO fact.

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


And the crème de la crème of that comes from the East River. But
Jersey has some pretty good stuff near the refineries.

Now all your posts make perfect sense!


Decades ago I used to drive the I95 upper Jersey Tpke from the CT/NY
border to Perth Amboy every week to go to school. It was healthier to
chain smoke driving part of the upper tpke rather than breathe. Air was
"cleaner".

As more and more people, it seems, drink bottled water instead of tap
water, are they aslo giving it to their children? And others have
mineral filters on their household water.

Does that mean that a lot of children are growing up without
fluoridated water and will have the level of tooth decay that
Americans had before the 1950's?

My kids grew up on untreated, unadulterated well water.
Now in their forties they have all their teeth and thanks to
orthodontists are all perfect.

City water around here can be a mixed bag because every now and then
something smelly sneaks into the source and sometimes the chlorine added
is overwhelming.
