	When my parents first got their water softener about 14 years ago, a
doctor friend recommended that they put in a separate, unsoftened cold water
line into the kitchen for drinking, to reduce the sodium intake from the
water.
We have done that at our house also.  This is not that difficult to do, and
then you can have the benefits of soft water without the potential health
risk.
