Is there any evidence that filtering water is important?

The idea that health food is necessarily expensive probably indicates
a poor definition of health food. I generally find the unhealthy foods
I'm cutting down on (beef, ice cream, chocolate bars, potato chips)
cost more money on average than the foods I'm trying to eat more of
(bananas, broccoli, sweet potatoes, carrots). Of course, the preparation
time for healthy foods is much higher, and probably deters some overworked
extropians.
