The difference between Drinking water and mineral water?
i was wondering what the difference between these two waters and how it is beneficial or not beneficial. i saw the two types in bottles in a grocery store. And mineral water is more expensive than drinking water and it made me question more.
Thanks for your answers!
Answers:
Mineral water is water containing minerals or other dissolved substances that alter its taste or give it therapeutic value. Salts, sulfur compounds, and gases are among the substances that can be dissolved in the water. Mineral water can often be effervescent. Mineral water can be prepared or can occur naturally.
Drinking water is water that is intended to be ingested by humans. Water of sufficient quality to serve as drinking water is termed potable water whether it is used as such or not. Although many fresh water sources are utilised by humans, some contain disease vectors or pathogens and cause long-term health problems if they do not meet certain water quality guidelines. Water that is not harmful for human beings is sometimes called safe water, water which is not contaminated to the extent of being unhealthy. The available supply of drinking water is an important criterion of carrying capacity, the population level that can be supported by planet Earth.

dont know
mineral water (good one) contains good stuff - minerals and vitamins, drinking water is almost the same as your tap water, just purified
water is water mineal water has good minerals in it
Mineral water generally comes from a spring or some other "natural source" that's supposed to have more minerals and taste better than tap water. "Drinking water" is often tap water from another city, though it is "filtered." Unless there's something truly wrong with your tap water (which is unusual), all you're buying with "drinking water" is the convenience of it coming in a bottle.
