Hey Doug and Umpa. I came to conclusion about a week ago when I researched the dangers of purified water and it's harmful symptoms which i had. I had ordered Hinckley Springs Purified Water back in early October 2013 for more convenience but during those 8 months I looked and felt like complete crap! I had swollen eyelids, puffy eyes, dark eye circles, trouble sleeping, swelling in my face, difficulty losing weight, hair loss, fluid retention, fatigue, headaches, migraines and depression. I couldn't figure out why, I thought I had developed a food allergy but that wasn't the case. But one day last week I went the entire day without drinking any purified water and drunk only milk and the next day my symptoms were all gone and I looked much better. I did so many hours of research on purified water and finally realized it was making me sick.
Purified Water is not something you find in nature, it has all it's minerals removed, it acidifies the body, strips vital minerals from the body and dehydrates the body. It did all this to me, especially since I was drinking way more than 10 cups of the water each day for over 8 months. The water didn't hydrate me well and made me more thirsty.
