Tens of millions of people drink lake water, too, "without an issue". But,
I don't think we're being honest with any of them over the LONG TERM what
these pathogens will do to them over time.....
You're assuming that RO water *has* pathogens in it. Lake water
typically does. But the fact that so many do drink lake water "without
an issue" gives you a very good sense of the *scale* of the problem
you're so concerned with. As a practical matter, very few bacteria
present any problem at all in the stomach unless their population is
very high, and a well maintained RO systems generate very low bioburden
permeate.
