Define “a lot of studies”
If it’s not peer reviewed, I wouldn’t put too much stock into these studies. Not if those studies were meta-analyses, then theie MIGHT be something to it, but just be cognizant of the researchers’ bias. There is a good possibility that you heard this claim from a plant based doctor.
>water tastes like shit
Ding dong I don’t get what you’re saying. How can something that has no taste have a shitty taste??? That’s like complaining about tofu tasting bad, despite the fact that tofu doesn’t have any flavor; it tastes like whatever you put into it. You must have terrible quality water where you’re from. But even in that case, it’s not the actual water that tastes bad; it’s the impurities that taste bad.
