How would you feel about the government adding magnesium to water? (lemmy.world)

I kinda wish there was a way to get tap water fortified with whatever magnesium it is thats in spring water or failing that magnesium glycinate.

My understanding is magnesium deficiency is a common thing and that lack of it causes several musculo-skeletal and nervous system problems and in general a less relaxed state of being when deficient

San pellegrino would be interesting to look at since it has a good deal of magnesium in its spring water, those lucky bastards got that good stuff on tap😋

From my understanding, there are apparently newer studies that seem to indicate that it isn't good for kids, but it's not extremely bad either, just not good. However, more research is needed and people want to stop fluoridating water just to be safe (realistically you're probably getting more than enough for your teeth from toothpaste)
