Rumor: Because purified water lacks trace elements, drinking purified water will lead to lack of nutrition and damage health.
Truth: Pure water lacks minerals necessary for human body, which is a fact, but drinking water is to supplement water, not nutrition, so it is unscientific to say that it is harmful to health.
It is true that pure water lacks essential minerals for human body, but drinking water is to supplement water, not nutrition. Nutrients needed by human body can be ingested through other foods.
There are many sources of human drinking water. People in cities mainly drink tap water and bottled water, which belong to processed water and need to pass strict drinking water hygiene standards.
Pure water is prepared by [reverse osmosis] or [distillation] and is water with most impurities removed. This kind of water is clean enough and suitable for drinking. As drinking water, it is very safe.
In fact, the Middle East and developed countries in Europe and the United States have been drinking purified water for decades. The penetration rate of purified water has reached more than 80%, but no one has gone wrong with it. The so-called harmful purified water must be a rumor.
The more minerals in water, the better.
Mineral water is generally taken from natural water sources containing various minerals. After disinfection and processing and passing the inspection, it should be safe for human body.
Mineral added water is generally made from city tap water as raw water, which is then filled after pure processing, mineral addition and sterilization.
Due to the different minerals and contents added by different enterprises, if too much is added or the so-called mineral water containing additives is drunk in large quantities for a long time, it is likely to have adverse effects on health.
Where does purified water [poison] come from?
However, after investigation, Shanghai did regulate the drinking water supply mode in primary and secondary schools in the city, but there was no ban on drinking purified water. From a medical point of view, drinking purified water has nothing to do with rickets.
