You get far more minerals from food. If you eat food,
you don't have any reason to worry about lack of minerals
in your drinking water -- except that you will not be
getting fluoride, which is important for your teeth,
but this is mostly important for children rather than
adults.

You finally posted the simple truth. But when it comes to fluoride
it's important to realize that all those on private wells need to
discuss treatments with their dentists... and not all municipal water
supplies add fluoride either. I've noticed that folks living here in
hillybilly rural America have very rotten teeth and lose their teeh at
a much younger age than in urban areas. Fortunately for a small town
we have a modern dental center (four dentists + full staff). I go
every 4 months for a routine cleaning and exam. I've had discussions
with the hygienist about this very thing, fluoride. She has also
infoirmed me that a good portion of the rural population doesn't own a
toothbrush... they only seek a dentist when their teeth ache so badly
that they can't function. She said there are many times when they
have to turn these people away, they won't work on such filthy
mouths. I can't imagine not brushing, flossing, and rinsing before
going to a dentist. I'm 64 and have all my own teeth and they are in
very good shape, other than routine cleanings I haven't needed any
dental work in like ten years... only due to proper maintenence. I
don't understand the difficulty, other than like three minutes three
times a day brushing, flossing, and rinsing costs "0". With every
dentist visit I leave with a new toothbrush, a big spool of floss, a
tube of toothpaste, a bottle of mouthwash, and assorted tooth
maintenence implements with extra refills. I have dental insurance,
pays for two of my three cleanings each year, but even with no
insurance it only costs $50 for the routine cleaning and exam... a
very small price to pay to keep ones teeth. And I see these broken
toothed filthy mouthed morons spending more than $50 a shot buying
scratch-off lottery tickets.
