Adolescents are generally not recommended to drink pure water for a long time, mainly because pure water contains almost no minerals beneficial to the human body.
Purified water is not the healthiest water. According to a survey by the World Health Organization, 70 to 80% of human diseases are directly linked to water. Water quality experts from the municipal water company said that many citizens have always had misunderstandings about drinking water, which often leads to illness and other adverse consequences. During yesterday's exchange, Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Shapingba District, asked whether pure water is the healthiest water.
"Actually, this is a big misunderstanding." Experts say that purified water removes heavy metals, trihalomethanes, organic matter, microorganisms and other pollutants harmful to the human body present inwater, but it also removes minerals. Elements and other substances beneficial to the human body are eliminated. Therefore, purified water is not suitable for long-term consumption as the primary drinking water, especially for adolescents, children and the elderly.
In addition, some citizens like to drink mineral water. Experts also remind: it is generally believed that natural mineral water is closest to the standards of healthy water. However, some brands of mineral water contain bromide ions. their water sources. When ozone is used for disinfection in production, harmful substances such as bromoform may be produced, causing the bromoform content of bottled mineral water to exceed the standard. Long-term consumption will cause harm to the body.
