Great question, hypothetical friend! Some people worry that purification strips out good minerals like calcium and magnesium. It does remove some, but don’t panic—you get those from food anyway (hello, cheese and almonds).
Think of it this way: you wouldn’t eat a bowl of minerals for breakfast. You eat food. So don’t let a tiny mineral loss scare you away from dramatically better taste and safety. It’s like skipping the soda for sparkling water—you’re gaining way more than you lose.
And if you’re still nervous, some filters add back healthy minerals after cleaning. They’re like helpful robots that say, “Here, have some magnesium for your trouble.” How polite.
