Never said it was unsafe, just not recommended. WebMD has links to scientific articles that sorry support that. But you may counter that you don’t trust those sources. I’m not about to play whack a mole. If you want to exclusively drink demineralized water, go ahead, you won’t die for it. But you’ll increase your chances of developing certain diseases. Maybe that’s an acceptable tradeoff for you - I’d certainly think so if you live in Flint.
Normally I would go fetch, but there are so many search results. Just search it yourself and choose a source you cash trust. It’s a very well established topic.
Both. But distilled is at best ion poor. It’s not recommended use either exclusively for your source of water.
A good filter on tap is enough for the vast majority of houses. If that’s not your case, mineral water or regular bottled water (which is just filtered tap water from a reliable source) are your best bet.
And it’s cheaper too! Not common that you choose both healthy and cheap.
Especially shit.

acockworkorange@mander.xyzto Europe@feddit.org•France: 10% pay cut for pregnant civil servants: “unacceptable sexist discrimination” for trade unions [pay cut during sick leave starting earlier for pregnant women than other civil servants]English1·2 天前FMLA is what I’ve heard is used for long term disability, and it doesn’t cover full pay and is time limited, I think. I’ve never used it either so take this with a massive grain of salt.
And you’re lucky, most workers in the USA do not get paid sick leave, because that’s not in the law.

I come from a “developing” third rate country. We’ve had paid sick leave and paid maternity leave since the 60s I think. Maternity leave was upgraded from 4 to 6 months about 10 years ago.
PS.: you need a doctor’s note the day you’re back to get sick leave, which you can get for free on universal healthcare if you can wait, or pay for private practice in a private clinic.

The USA really is a shithole.
And they don’t fear the reaper.
That makes more sense.
