Some of which are beneficial.
And what makes you think bottled water doesn't have those same minerals and
trace chemicals? Unless it's distilled water, bottled in glass and sealed
imperviously, what makes it any better?
Nature is funny that way. Pure water simply doesn't exist in nature, and
I'm pretty skeptical that anything bottled in plastic is "pure" for very
long anyway.
In fact, I'm not even sure what "purified water" actually is, but if we're
talking about commercial bottled water sold under various marketing names
that evoke images of crystal clear springs, those products often have much
higher bacteria counts than the average municipal water supply. The only
thing pure about them is the picture of crystal clear springs on the label
and the profits they generate.
Bottled water is the biggest scam of the century. It never ceases to amaze
me that people will pay well over $1 for a half liter of water of unknown
quality if it's put in a bottle with a fancy label.
