MYTHS ON WATER
This is what advertising campaigns and marketing of bottled water have led us to believe, but it is not true!Bottled water is healthier than tap water: FALSE
In the past, there were problems with tap water or well water because it might not have been treated, but today all tap water in our country is safe for human consumption and, in some cases, richer and healthier than bottled water.
Public water has control systems that are as stringent as those applied to bottled water.
According to an OCU study: there are no relevant differences between tap water in Spain and bottled water.
Tap water is usually more mineralized, but this is not bad for your health, it will only be if you have a specific health condition that requires you to reduce your intake. To drink purer and better-flavored water you can use the Waly tap filter.
Okay, maybe in some city tap water doesn’t taste as good as bottled water, but let’s not generalize!Tap water tastes worse than bottled water: FALSE
There are many places where tap water tastes good, just as some bottled water you will not like, this will depend on the hardness and mineralization of the water. It’s about you finding the one you like the most!
In addition, the taste of the water is easily rectified, applying a filter on the tap neutralizes the strong taste that can have a tap water that is very calcified. According to blind tests, 9 out of 10 people do not notice any difference in taste between filtered and bottled water!
Another hoax! Water lime, which is the combination of calcium and magnesium that make up water, is not bad for the kidneys or health. Maybe if there were huge amounts of lime and other minerals in the water, kidney stones could come out, but no water has so much lime.Lime from tap water produces stones in the kidney: FALSE
Doctors recommend introducing calcium and magnesium into our diets, we eat dairy, nuts, legumes and other foods that contain more calcium and magnesium than water.
It would be the lack of hydration that could cause problems like kidney stones.
It doesn’t make much sense to eat a calcium-reinforced yogurt and avoid tap water for its lime and other minerals!
The only drawback of lime in water is that in high quantities it can cause bad taste in the water, but this is fixed with a home filtration system, such as a filter for the tap that and removes unpleasant aromas and flavors.
