Chromium 6

The mention that 200 million Americans are exposed to dangerous levels of "chromium 6" (hexavalent chromium) is sourced to a newspaper article that in turn is sourced to an advocacy group's press release, not actual scientific publications.

Tap Water

Tea made with the tap water in Sonora CA will not kill you utterly to DETH but it does taste absolutely foul. Sample size: 3 different hotels over a 14 year period. Mr Larrington (talk) 15:06, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

Water Ions

Under "Non-alkaline water will kill you," it says:

Although deionized water really is a thing, ionized water is not an actual term in water chemistry as all water except pure water contains ions.

However, even pure water contains ions. Liquid water undergoes autoionization, dissociating into hydronium (H₃O⁺) and hydroxide (OH^-) ions. It isn't a lot, on the order of 10^-7 mol/L at room temperature, and those ions will immediately react with each other to form water again, but it is happening all the time. You cannot eliminate ions from water as water literally ionizes itself. ^{— Unsigned, by: 136.226.65.17 / talk / contribs}
