Minerals in Tap Water – Are They Really That Important?
It’s been said that the minerals in tap water play an important role in human health. But is drinking this kind of water really necessary? If you were to test any kind of naturally flowing or fresh water on this planet, you’d find traces of minerals in it. As water flows through rivers and streams, it picks up trace minerals from under rocks and sediment. Even lakes and springs contain trace amounts of beneficial minerals. Not many people paid attention to these minerals in tap water until filtration systems like distillation and reverse osmosis were invented. These systems were created to remove all the sediment and solids in water because the photo, printing, and medical fields used equipment that required water that was filtered of all solids. But with the recent boom in home water filtration thanks to a heightened tap water contamination awareness, systems like reverse osmosis and distillation have been marketed as state-of-the-art home filtering systems. But now, many experts beli
