Does Your Body Get Minerals From Water?


Many proponents of tap and spring water point out that the minerals contained in their water are necessary for health because the minerals (like calcium) are necessary and are absorbed by the body.

Nothing could be farther from the truth! As Dr. Andrew Weil points out, minerals are non soluble and are absorbed from the food we eat, not the water we drink. Dr. Weil further explains that the best water to drink is purified water using a steam distillation process.

Tap water, no matter what the proponents claim, is loaded with harmful contaminants like chlorine, fluoride, lead, arsenic and pharmaceuticals. It smells bad, tastes bad and poses a threat to your health.

I think it's an ideal case, we get minerals from water, also get some bad elements.
When industry replaced the agriculture, many kinds of chemical pollution produced. Now there're many pollutions. Here even the bottled water are not qualified as before.
