I guess I've only been in the homes of the other 75%. It's nothing I've heard anyone talking about, and I see far more advertisements for home water filtration systems in the other countries than I do here. I know of not one single person who has one, and none that drink bottled water at home. It's certainly possible, but you'd think that in 20 years I'd would have at least heard about it...
I'll go back to my keemun tea... made with tap water. But you know... just to be fair to this guy, let me test the pH of my tap water. I have a testing kit for my plants... back in a second...
O.K. ... my tap water test right a pH 7, which is neutral. I guess I get to live another day!
Of course, if I added lemon to my tea, that would make it rather acidic, (all that Citric acid, right?) so perhaps lemon-users should begin with water that is more alkaline so when they add lemon it comes out neutral. But then, if they add milk, Hmmmmm.... Milk contains lactic acid, styric acid, oleric acid, linoleic acid, and a couple more that I can't remember right now... How in the world can we add milk to tea and not poison ourselves with all this acidity?
There is only one answer to this... Bombay Sapphire! It has 11 herbs to help make us healthy!
And now... back to your regularly scheduled programing...
