Drinking Distilled water and Purified Mineral water are two of the most popular commercial bottled water today. Distilled water is slightly more expensive than mineral water... distilled water is usually given to infants because this is the most pure commercial water available... mineral water has trace elements like Magnesium and manganese which are helpful in boosting the immune system of the child...What do you think? Which water will you choose?

Distilled water is supposed to be very bad for you, as well as being so tasteless that it actually tastes bad! That isn't a joke! Mineral water is rarely any different from what comes out of the tap. Just search the web and see how many bottled waters are frauds, being quite often of lower quality than the local tap water - and that is where the tap water is not suitable for drinking! Yes, bottled water is not worth buying and could be very dangerous to your health.

Well, there is something distilled. You can drink even the dirtiest of water if there is enough whiskey in it. But if in doubt, leave out the water!

Sometimes, I think we are overdoing things. Distilled water, purified mineral water etc. Why not just give me plain drinking water. That will be fine with me.
