Q. Is it safe to drink tap water rather than bottled or filtered water?
Hello doctor,
I am an 18-year-old student doing an assignment regarding the benefits of consuming water and why it should be implemented in one’s diet as much as possible. As an expert in nutrition and health, I would love to get your insight and perspective regarding this matter.
Please take some time to answer these simple questions and comment on your ideas and views.

Thank you.
