it this just nonsence?

People. If you have no idea what you are talking about, don't answer questions.
To answer. First, if the water that comes out is only initially cloudy, but then clears, there is a buildup problem in the pipes which should be addressed. If the water is always a bit cloudy, and stays cloudy after it sits in a glass, it is highly likely you have water with a high mineral content, which is perfectly safe to drink. If it clears almost immediately, it's probably the diffuser creating air bubbles.
kinda sorta, it's not gonna kill you. if you drink it, the worst that will happen is an upset stomach.
maybe. it depends whats in the water really.
No. It's only cloudy because of air bubbles in the water. It's perfectly safe to drink.
Well, regular tap water isn't really good to begin with.
He's probably right about the cloudy one, too. That might be worse. I ain;t Bill Ny The Science Guy though, so you'll have to read on to find a real answer.
Sorry, I just drink bottled water to be safe.
If there is actaully something in it, I wouldn't recomend drinking it. Most of the time it is millions of tiny air bubbles from the water line, whick is normal. Sit the glass on the counter. If it clears up after a minute or so, your good :)
if you drink cloudy water you will puke and die.
