Vertically all bottled waters contain four ingredients, I listed below.
Ingredient 1: Tap Water
It’s no secret that bottled water companies, which are owned by bureaucrats that don’t have our best health interest when it comes to drinking water. Although tap water often tastes noticeably different from spring water, why bottle tap water?! That seems to defeat the purpose. If you’re going to drink tap water, drink it from the tap period.
Ingredient 2: Magnesium Sulfate AKA Epsom Salts or Bath Salts. FDA Pregnancy Category D Teratogen, Drying Agent, and Laxative. On its own, anhydrous magnesium sulfate is a drying agent. Could this explain the strange dry mouth I experience after drinking bottled water? It’s ironic that bottled companies have added a “drying agent” to a beverage that is intended to quench thirst. If trace amounts of magnesium sulfate residue remain on your tongue after you drink a bottle of water, making it difficult to quench your thirst, it seems reasonable to question whether this might encourage you to purchase another bottle of water or perhaps a soft drink, either of which would benefit the industry.
Ingredient 3: Potassium Chloride
FDA Pregnancy Category C. Potassium chloride is commonly used as a fertilizer, but it’s also used in lethal injections to stop the heart and, in some cases, in late trimester abortions to stop the heart of the fetus. Interestingly, potassium chloride is known to have a weak, bitter, unsalty flavor with a chemical or metallic aftertaste which again calls into question how this ingredient could possibly improve the “taste” of poor-tasting bottled water. In addition the list of side effects from potassium chloride is endless: bowel lesions, gastrointestinal disruptions, cardiac arrhythmias, muscle weakness, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dyspepsia or heartburn, GI tract bleeding, hypersensitivity, nervous system damage, and more.
Ingredient 4: Salt
While one bottle of water may not have much salt, if you drink six or seven bottles of water in one day, suddenly the amount could be much higher. That said, the real concerns are magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride.
