Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have, and every result says it’s safe. I would love to see an actual source that says otherwise. It’s not going fetch, it’s providing sources for your wild claim that multiple people have been debunking.
Never said it was unsafe, just not recommended. WebMD has links to scientific articles that sorry support that. But you may counter that you don't trust those sources. I'm not about to play whack a mole. If you want to exclusively drink demineralized water, go ahead, you won't die for it. But you'll increase your chances of developing certain diseases. Maybe that's an acceptable tradeoff for you - I'd certainly think so if you live in Flint.
Then provide those links to webmd, you have them handy. Why would they not recommend it if it wasn’t safe? And support your own wild claim then. Which doctors and sources are not recommending it. Your specific point doesn’t change anything. It’s either safe and recommended or not safe and not recommended these are mutually exclusive terms here.
You can’t provide what doesn’t exist, there’s no need to lie that Google has it, or webmd has lots of results. If there was, you would provide them, since you must have recently looked at them to be THIS confident in a discussion. If no, accept you’re wrong, and quit perpetuating bullshit that’s been proving wrong.
OK buddy
