I can't explain the difference between the different races in the study, but many kids today would never think to get a glass of water from the tap. Bottled water is the only thing they think of as drinking water (their parents too.)
We have a Brita pitcher but if I am thirsty, especially when it is hot out, I run cold water from the tap and drink several glasses. Always the right temperature :)
I drink from the tap daily and I never had any problems aside from
stomach pain, ulcers, acid reflux, constipation, and some kidney stone thingy.
Omg is he series!
