Well then you would know (even if you don't admit it here) that rainwater contains natural minerals and man-made pollution.
Normally you could drink rainwater without becoming ill. However, rainwater contains pollutants, soil, plant parts, insect parts, bacteria, algae, and sometimes radioactive materials that the rain/snow has washed out of the air. If filtered with one of the filtering systems that you can buy in stores nowadays, and then boiled, you could probably drink the water safely. However, it is safer yet to get your water from municipal water supplies or from wells that are frequently tested.

Having water analised for any chemicals is not good enough. Get a good microscope and look at your water. See how many foreign, dead or alive things are swimming in it.
I drink a lot of water, but my Doctor told me never to look at it through a microscope.
