For the average Chinese urbanite, it depends: Do you have two filters on your tap and boil all your water? If yes, the former. If no, the latter.

This reminds me of a full-of-crap- TA for one of my philosophy classes who insisted that PURE unadulterated water was poisonous. I still sometimes wonder where he came up with that.
