If you've been on the internet this week, you've likely seen reports about "raw water" – i.e., water in its "purest" form without any kind of filtration or processing that kills bacteria and adds minerals like fluoride. But drinking it might pose risks, according to experts.
An article from The New York Times published late last year highlighted the trend and companies selling such water. Live Water, for instance, sells this spring-sourced water at $36.99 per 2.5 gallons and charges $14.99 for every refill. The fad is attractive to people who are wary of tap water, according to The New York Times.
But does great purity come with great risk?
