Yes, but how much of these "macro" minerals were
provided via drinking water?

My contention is that the water supply could not be
the primary source of these minerals. Else *any*
change in the water supply could drastically affect a
given area. And if water can be concluded to be a
primary source for nutrients, then shouldn't "spring
water" become a mandate for paleo followers?

I have fortunately lived a very healthy life. The two
times I've had a health crisis were before colloidal
supplements became common. Otherwise I would have
tried them.
No, my experiments with the "fad" products were an
attempt to gain an even higher level of health - a
theme that all of the products promoted. I recall
listening to one of those damnable cassette tapes
regarding blue-green algae. One testimonial was from a
"raw food" eater who "scoffed" at most supplements.
That is - until he discovered the "glorious"
benefits of B-G algae.

Yes, of course. Which is why I still take a high
quality vitamin/mineral supplement. "Just in case".
