A member asked:
Does drinking purified water instead of tap water really make a difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It depends on your water souce, but most municipal water sources have an unhealthy amount of impurities, and often the amount of chlorine used to make the water better can be a oxidizer to the body. Also there is a growing number of Estrogens found in water sources. As a rule, i drink bottled water or filtered.
