Is Soft Water or Hard Water Better for a Diet?
Water is classified as soft or hard based on the amount of dissolved minerals it contains. Hard water can be treated to remove mineral ions making it soft; water may be treated on the home level or on a community level. Because the water softening process changes the mineral content of water, hard water may be a better choice for people on some specific types of diets. There are also concerns that soft water may leach harmful minerals from older pipes, including lead and cadmium.
