Part 2/12:

The bottled water market offers a dizzying array of options, each with its own proclaimed benefits. These include:

• Distilled Water: Purified by boiling and condensation, ostensibly all impurities are removed.

• Mineral Water: Contains traces of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, naturally derived from rocks.

• Spring Water: Sourced from natural springs with claimed high mineral content.

• Alkaline Water: Marketed as having a higher pH level to restore body balance.

• Purified and Re-mineralized Water: Filtered and then fortified with minerals for taste and purported health benefits.
