Why does this "minerals in the water are important" myth keep persisting?

Do yourself a favor and calculate:

1) The specific minerals in the water you want to consume

2) The daily values for each of those minerals

3) Figure out the water you'd need to drink to meaningfully contribute towards hitting those DVs

Hint: It's in the tens to hundreds of gallons of water per day for tap water.

Filter the water and pop a multivitamin, expecting to get significant "minerals" from tap water is a joke.
