How Bad Is Tap Water for Health? | Dr. Andrew Huberman

This is a review from 2020 that analyzes water from a bunch of different sources within the world and essentially focuses on a few key components . First of all , it focuses on the concentration of minerals that is magnesium and calcium within water . Many people don't realize this but so called hard water sounds terrible , right .

They looked at the presence of magnesium and calcium because that is going to impact the ph of water in general . The higher concentrations of magnesium and calcium and water , the higher the ph that is the more alkaline that water is and the lower levels of magnesium and calcium , the more acidic or lower ph that water tends to be the other thing that this review addresses is the concentration of so called DB PS dog bulldog porcupines , DB PS , which are disinfection by-product contained in water . So obviously local governments , the government wants your drinking water to be clean .

But hard water is water that contains magnesium and calcium , which turns out to be a good thing . Some water contains more magnesium and calcium . Other water contains less .

Um , I've been doing an experiment for the sake of this episode looking at so-called molecular hydrogen water , which sounds very fancy and esoteric and almost um , a little wacky . But it turns out , um , it has largely to do with the amount of magnesium and calcium in the ph of that water . So if you are somebody who has a very low budget or simply just wants to spend a very small amount of money and try and still drink tap water , there is absolutely a way to do that safely , but it does require a few of these steps .
