Is Mineral Water Healthy? These Research Results Could Shock You

By: David A Everett

Although many people seem to consider mineral water healthy, very few would probably be able to tell you why they think so. This common belief is what helps to boost sales for such products as natural mineral water h20. The problem is that the purported health benefits are largely a myth, and here are a few reasons why.

There are literally thousands of products sold during the course of a year that were bought simply because someone "said" that they were healthy. Almost everyone wishes to improve their health, and that's why the health supplement industry is booming the way that it is. When people began calling mineral water healthy though, I began to wonder if they had gone too far.

Believe it or not there is really no supported research for products such as natural mineral water h20 that is not generated by the makers themselves. No health information that company marketing directors put out should be taken as scientific evidence at face value. Unless the information comes from an independent laboratory verifying that the benefits claimed by the company are true, be leery.

There is no pertinent information on exactly what makes mineral water healthy. Many claims of the seemingly magical health benefits of natural mineral water h20 and others have been reported, but there is no evidence that these products are any better for you than drinking pure spring water. Ask the people at Perrier.

Perrier has long been touted as the champagne of waters, mainly because of the natural carbonation distinct to the waters of the region from which it is drawn. The man who owned the hot bath spa at the site, and was the one who came up with the method of bottling used in order to turn spring water into a beverage, was a doctor. He never considered mineral water healthy he just liked the way that it tasted.

I am going to add to that the story of another man who loved the taste of a particular brand of natural mineral water h20, and he had always considered mineral water healthy. He was so enamored with his chosen beverage that he decided to conduct a series of tests to prove to the world that his favorite drink was the purest to be found.

Since the man worked for a treatment facility, the materials he needed to conduct his tests were right at hand. When the results came in the man was not surprised to learn that his mineral water h20 contained levels of healthy dissolved minerals right up to the EPA maximum limit. He was then horrified when he saw that the product contained the toxin Benzine at many times the allowable limit. He could never trust to consider mineral water healthy again.

A new brand of natural mineral water h20 contains high levels of manganese. The Department of Agriculture has set down nutritional guidelines bearing upper advisory limits for manganese, because at high levels it can cause kidney and liver dysfunction. Somehow, despite this, the company still considers its mineral water healthy. You, however, can draw your own conclusions.
