According to Chinese national standards and China's GB 10789-2007 General Beverage Regulations, the bottled water currently sold in China is divided into 6 categories:
1. Natural mineral water, defined as underground water Products made from naturally unpolluted underground mineral water that contains a certain amount of mineral trace elements or carbon dioxide gas. Under normal circumstances, its chemical composition, flow rate, water temperature and other dynamics are relatively stable within the natural cycle fluctuation range. . European standards also require that water sources must be in pollution-free nature reserves. In short, mineral water is natural mineral water taken from deep underground. It contains a certain amount of minerals and trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. They exist in ionic form and are easier for the body to absorb than the combined minerals in food. High-quality mineral water usually has low sodium content and moderate mineral content, which is good for your health and has a better taste. Mineral water contains natural minerals and has benefits for human health:
2. Natural spring water is defined as unpolluted underground spring water that naturally emerges from the ground and has not passed through the public water supply system. Products made from water sources. European standards also require that the water source must be in a pollution-free nature reserve, must not contain carbon dioxide, and the total dissolved solids content in the water must not exceed 500 mg per liter. Due to the strong metabolism of infants and young children, their drinking water intake is much higher than that of adults. Because of their weak constitution and low immunity, their requirements for daily drinking water are higher than those of adults. The total dissolved solids of our company's Shuidike natural spring water is only 98 mg, which is five times lower than the European standard upper limit. What's even more valuable is that the sodium content in the water is less than 1 mg, and the golden ratio with other minerals and trace elements can protect the tender kidneys of infants and young children. It is very suitable for daily drinking of infants and young children or for brewing milk powder, juice, etc., and is also suitable for People with low sodium levels who pursue health concepts can better protect and relieve the heart and kidneys of the elderly.
3. Natural drinking water is defined as products made from water sources such as unpolluted reservoirs, wells, lakes or mountain glaciers that have not passed through public water supply systems.
4. Drinking purified water is defined as a product made from water that meets the standards of GB5749 as a water source, uses appropriate processing methods, and is treated to remove minerals from the water. It refers to products that meet the standards of drinking water. Water with standard water quality is used as raw material, and minerals, organic components, harmful substances and microorganisms in the water are removed through electrodialysis, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, distillation and other appropriate processing methods. The processed water is sealed in a container and does not contain any additives, so it can be drank directly.
It can be seen from this standard definition that drinking pure water removes minerals and trace elements needed by the human body. The China Green Food Development Center states that "safety, high quality and nutrition" reflect the quality characteristics of green food. The first characteristic is its safety, which means that the food will not cause harm to the body when consumed in a reasonable manner and in normal consumption. As we all know, an adult needs to drink about 2000 ml of water every day to maintain a balanced water balance. If an adult drinks about 2000 ml of purified water every day, in the long run due to the lack of trace mineral elements in the purified water, the water molecules will be extremely connected. It has a tangled structure and is difficult to pass through the cell membrane, which will lead to the loss of beneficial life-related elements in the body to the outside of the body. Some sensitive people will not quench their thirst the more they drink, and the more they drink, the more they want to drink, which reduces the body's immunity and even causes certain diseases. . Long-term drinking of soft water with low mineral content is one of the causes of atherosclerosis. This is a physical hazard caused by reasonable drinking methods and normal drinking amounts. It is not safe to drink pure water regularly.
5. Drinking mineral water is defined as a product made from water that complies with GB5749 as the water source, using appropriate processing methods, and purposefully adding a certain amount of minerals after treatment.
As we all know, the daily source of minerals consumed by the human body is through diet. However, relatively speaking, most mineral elements are rarely absorbed by the human body, so supplementation through drugs is sometimes necessary. This is mainly because the chemical existence of mineral elements required by the human body cannot be absorbed by the human body. The reason why the trace elements contained in natural mineral water can be easily absorbed by the human body is because they exist in the form of ions, and it takes decades to change the mineral elements into ionic forms and exist in the water. It is also the valuable feature of natural mineral water. However, if minerals are added artificially during the production process, it is true that the water contains minerals, but they exist in a chemical state and will not become ions in the water. They are the same as those brought in ordinary food. The possibility of being absorbed by the human body is very small, or almost not absorbed by the human body. This is the essential difference between natural mineral water and mineral water.
6. Other drinking water is defined as products made from water that complies with GB5749 as the water source, using appropriate processing methods and without coloring treatment, such as flavored water with an appropriate amount of food flavors added.
