I kinda wish there was a way to get tap water fortified with whatever magnesium it is thats in spring water or failing that magnesium glycinate.

My understanding is magnesium deficiency is a common thing and that lack of it causes several musculo-skeletal and nervous system problems and in general a less relaxed state of being when deficient

San pellegrino would be interesting to look at since it has a good deal of magnesium in its spring water, those lucky bastards got that good stuff on tapπŸ˜‹

what are the problems with fluoride? I thought that's a myth?

9/10 dentists are against flouride in water because they want you to swing by more often.

From my understanding, there are apparently newer studies that seem to indicate that it isn't good for kids, but it's not extremely bad either, just not good. However, more research is needed and people want to stop fluoridating water just to be safe (realistically you're probably getting more than enough for your teeth from toothpaste)

when you get that fluoride stare

Search neurology and flouride toxicity, there are newer studies.

I listed them, but got downvoted, people want to blindly claim things...they don't even realize only a handful countries do this, they don't know what type of fluoride it is and that they all pay for it, they have not read how it already fucks up black people and latinos.

No one is saying don't use a fluoride toothpaste where you topically apply to your teeth and not orally ingest most of it, glad I grew up somewhere they didn't do that lol.
