How would you feel about the government adding magnesium to water? (lemmy.world)

I kinda wish there was a way to get tap water fortified with whatever magnesium it is thats in spring water or failing that magnesium glycinate.

My understanding is magnesium deficiency is a common thing and that lack of it causes several musculo-skeletal and nervous system problems and in general a less relaxed state of being when deficient

San pellegrino would be interesting to look at since it has a good deal of magnesium in its spring water, those lucky bastards got that good stuff on tap😋

You can get magnesium tablets. Adding it to tap water could work but we use water for so many other things besides drinking. There i for example no need for it to be in the water that washing machines use, no need to clean the dishes or your floors in magnesium enriched water either...

What’s your opinion on fluoridated water?

I don't have one I am sorry. We don't even have chlorine in ours here any more
