What is the benefit of drinking spring water rather than regular drinking water? Is there any?
Spring water usually supplies a better array of trace minerals than purified “drinking water”. The difference in content is slight. However, unlike purified “drinking water,” municipal tap water is usually bad for us because it tends to have chlorine and flouride added. Chlorine is toxic and denatures vitamins in our bodies, rendering them useless. Drinking chlorinated water can cause vitamin deficiency. While flouride helps the teeth, it harms the body. Municipal water also tends to supply toxic impurities such as pesticides and heavy metals which can impair fertility and worsen health. So unless your city’s tap water comes from an aquifer or spring, it is probably not good for you. More info on how city tap water compares to bottled water below. Rural well water, or water from a small town or nature preserve out in the boonies, is usually relatively unpolluted and won’t contain much but the odd pesticide from local farms, unless it is an old mining town. Mining pollutes big time. If
