A member asked:

Is it actually better to drink purified water?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Than what?: I personally drink "purified" water as a rule.How pure is it ? I don't really know but it sounds better than stream water as advertised by other bottled waters. I'd suggest all bottled water is safe-but i can't prove it.
