Part 6/12:

To scrutinize the actual benefits of these waters, a comprehensive lab analysis was carried out on nine bottled waters, including tap water, distilled, alkaline, and spring waters. The results painted a nuanced picture:

• Purity: Distilled and purified waters had the lowest impurity levels, essentially free of contaminants.

• Mineral Content: Bottled spring and mineral waters contained higher levels of minerals such as calcium, silica, and vanadium—elements naturally leaching from rocks. However, the amounts were very small; even the highest mineral content in natural spring waters might have negligible health effects—generally far below the daily recommended intake.
