    Mineral water is good for human health, if you drink it for a long time, ......"The beautiful advertising slogan has attracted thousands of consumers and made the mineral water marketable. Is mineral water really that magical? In Germany, at least, there is no scientific evidence that mineral water is healthier and more beneficial to the human body than tap water.

    The Germans are world champions in drinking mineral water, consuming 110 litres of mineral water per capita per year. There are about 224 different brands of mineral water in Germany, 18 in Austria and 49 in Italy. If drinking tap water is really not much different from drinking mineral water in terms of human health, then why do Germans carry this 110 litres of mineral water per capita home from a car, bicycle or shopping bag when they are tired and have a sore back?

    Wouldn't it seem funny that some mineral water bottles have to be sent back to the point of sale, and that some brands cost money for empty bottles**. But it's actually that funny. The so-called wholesome mineral water and purified water are actually unhealthy and contain excessive amounts of bacteria.

    A few years ago, the Stuttgart Health Agency in Germany tested 1,171 types of mineral water from different production plants, and the bacteria in the mineral water exceeded the standard, mainly due to contamination caused by direct contact with the water during the production process. The University Hospital of Freiburg tested 61 types of distilled water, and 13 of them were unacceptable, many of which were brand-name products. Certain waters contain pathogens that can cause fatal infections in frail patients.

    Despite all the stringent tests and tests, 59 species of E. coli were found in bottled water tested by the Stuttgart Department of Health in 2001, which should belong to toilets and should not be found in mineral or purified water. With the improvement of people's living standards, drinking water pays attention to quality, so many consumers install water filtration devices at home. But don't put your trust too much into water filters.

    Ten different household water filters were tested by German authorities, and the bacteria in the filtered water were seriously exceeded, and the number of bacteria in the water filtered by some brand-name products was 10,000 times higher than that in tap water. Some water filter manufacturers use silver materials to prevent bacteria, but over time, bacteria will grow in the filter because they have silver antibodies. In fact, mineral water is an unhealthy drinking water, and 2,000 large trucks are driving on the road every day to transport 110 litres of mineral water per capita in Germany, and a litre of mineral water is often hundreds of kilometers from the point of production to the point of sale, producing an average of 250 grams of carbon dioxide per litre of water.

    If people have to drink mineral water, it is better to choose products from a mineral water plant not far from their residence. Don't choose mineral water from Italy or Geneva, which is often higher than a bottle of wine. German experts warn consumers that if you are in good health, it is best to drink tap water.

    If you are used to drinking mineral water, then have a mineral water machine at home, plus a certain amount of carbon dioxide, it is also a good tasting mineral water.

Manufacturers of mineral water and mineralized water advertise that their drinks contain a variety of minerals needed by the human body, which can dispel diseases and strengthen the body, and are the best drinks; Some also claim that "mineral water is better than pure water, distilled water and space water, and these pure waters not only remove the harmful components of the human body, but also discard the beneficial components of the human body". Not to be outdone, the manufacturers of space water and pure water say that pure water has high purity, which is easy to dissolve food nutrients in water and be absorbed by the human body, and is easy to discharge harmful substances in the human body; Some even claim that "the human body does not need to absorb minerals from water, mineral water is harmful to the human body, and the biggest danger is the formation of stones". >>>More
