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.

Man it's hard to get real information from the net in the horrendous NOISE
from the RO manufacturers and sellers!

There's just all this conflicting BULL****!

When there are conflicting claims, you then have to decide which is
BS and which is real. Of course, you may need evidence and experience
to decide whether any or all are either BS or truth. Then you have
to decide whether your experience is representative or unique.
Ah, well, that's why we have the scientific method.
