subject: Information About Healthy Pure Bottled Water [print this page] With the amount of bottled water on the market today, shopping for healthy and pure types of water can be confusing and time consuming to say the least. Filtered, natural, mineral, nursery, and many others are available that consumers are having a hard time deciding between which one is the best. So, why are there so many types?

If you look at the properties of mineral water you will see that they either naturally or artificially add minerals to this liquid. Many forms of mineral water are carbonated also, which may also be the result of an actual process too. Unlike sparkling water however, the mineral water we drink today does not have to be carbonated. But it is also packed with 250 parts per 1,000,000 of minerals both natural and artificial. When experts test for mineral content it is done in the end of the evaporation process of approximately 1:l of water. Many times the mineral content that is found will vary from mineral to mineral. In some parts of the country there will be more mineral content of a certain kind than the other.

It is doubtful that the Romans actually bathed directly in the springs, which average 188.6 F. (87 C.) in temperature.
