Tap water question?!
Tap water question?
I usually drink purified water but sometimes the delivery is late and I have to drink boiled water (that has been cooled in the fridge, obviously).
Why is it that when i drink boiled tap water i usually experience some discomfort in my chest area. Sort of like a mild heartburn but more frequent..
Answers:
Tap water is loaded with chlorine and fluoride so if your body is not used to these chemicals then it may give you some discomfort. The local governments tell you fluoride is good for your teeth but fluoride doesn't work that way...it is a topical acting chemical. That is like if you got a cut and ate a tube of neosporin to heal it. Fluoride is a waste product of many industrial processes and dumping it into your water is a cheap way for companies to get rid of it.
