A recent study by the Department of Medicine's Dr Mark Eisenberg and student Philippe Garzon indicates that some brands of bottled water might be better than others. The study, published in the American Journal of Medicine, shows that there are distinct differences in the types and levels of minerals found in various brands of bottled water sold in stores.
Some bottled water features high sodium levels, something to be avoided.
Other bottled water brands include high levels of calcium and magnesium, minerals that we generally don't get enough of in our diet. San Pellegrino water is low in sodium and high in calcium, while Vichy Celestins water includes very high levels of sodium. Evian and Perrier are low in sodium, but they also have low levels of calcium and magnesium. Read the label before you drink.
