From that article: "...rainwater contains pollutants, soil, plant parts, insect parts, bacteria, algae, and sometimes radioactive materials... "
And how is this different than well or municipal water???
Well and tap water aren't as great as you might think. Well water is often contaminated with agricultural chemicals, petroleum products, bacteria, nitrates and heaven knows what else. Very, very few people with wells actually pay for the comprehensive test ($150-200) to find out what is actually in their well water. Most, if they do any testing at all, pay $8 for the bacterial test and call it good. They have no idea as to the nitrates, nitrates, dioxins, horse pee, RoundUp, chemical fertilizers, oil and gasoline that's in it.
Muncipal water is usually treated with chlorine, which breaks down into dioxins, is frequently also treated with fluoride, an outright poison. If there's a dead elk crawling with maggots behind the dam, they just add more chlorine. Drink up!
So, where's the improvement?
