Soft Water
So today, 2 months after we installed a water softener at our house, my mom explains to me that I shouldn't drink the tapwater anymore because it contains a lot of salt. By explains of course, I mean my mother's typical mode of informing me about things, she watched me fill a huge cup with tapwater and chug half of it, then screamed "NO! DON"T DRINK THE TAP WATER!" To which I turned to her with incredulity and said "There's nothing wrong with out tap-water" to which she replied "No! No! It's salt water! You can't drink it, it'll give you high-blood pressure!". Dumbfounded, I walked into the other room and sat down on the couch, I think I reflexively shot off a few rejoinders about how the water couldn't possibly be that bad, but I wonder, is soft-water actually saltier? Should I be drinking bottled water, or other peoples tap water?
