zero-tolerance is totally impossible. Beyond that, the water impurities are trace at best.
As a general rule the potential harms aren’t worth the massive cost fixing it would entail. Already we have a number of rules in healthcare about med disposal at such to control the contamination issues.
Again, its all about rational risk-analysis.
This is all very true. But who would have thought that such a minute amount of folic acid could change things so much for expectant mothers. That is primarily my point. It doesn’t take a whole lot of anything to mess up a fetus or young child.
And while I agree zero-tolerance is impossible, if we do find out that something is causing brain defects we can do something about it.
