Let me play the devil's advocate for a just moment: water in the west is much more regulated. I doubt that some small difference in our water's mineral levels would change much in the brain. Something like chemicals or harsh or bacteria from heavily polluted water might be really different. Rivers downstream from pharmaceutical labs, heavy industrial area, etc. could mess up your body's balance.

- WhompingWindows 8y agoTell that to the thousands upon thousands affected by lead poisoning in the West. The "heavy" regulations are not that comprehensive.
- Raphmedia 8y agoIf there were no regulations, the water in those cities would be the same to this day and wouldn't have made the headlines. A law is only as good as it is enforced. The Flint water crisis should be big enough of a wake up call to put the focus on the EPA and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and hopefully avoid similar issues in the future. The situation is miles better than it was in the 1950s thanks to those regulations.
