Our tap water has an average of 32 ppm solids (I think that's a measure of hardness?).

Heavy metals:
1. Chromium - .003 ppm
2. Barium - .l ppm
3. Selium - .004 ppm
4. Lead - .003 ppbillion

Our chlorine content averages 0.7 ppm and our fluoride content averages 0.4 ppm

Perhaps you water quality buff/experts will tell me whether these are good numbers for using my tap water on most of the carnivores, or perhaps bad numbers. I don't really have a clue what reverse osmosis numbers would look like or for that matter, rain water. Distilling water would/should result with zero of all of these substances (I think).

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
