The national food safety standards, packaging of drinking water "GB19298-2014 officially implemented on 2015 May 24, new standards stipulate that the market for packaged drinking water, in addition to the natural mineral water, only purified drinking water and other drinking water, label since January 1, 2016 onwards the full implementation. The implementation of the new national standard for drinking water, clean water to clean up the chaos in the industry, many pseudo concept driven by commercial interests.

Used to go to the supermarket to buy water, a variety of shelves stacked concept of water. Distilled water, glacier water "," ionic water "," small molecule water "," water "and other labels for packaged water, except for nutrition labeling into exceptionally, will also emphasize the health care effect on the human body, even clearly marked what disease treatment, to achieve what effect after drinking and so on. These packing water names varied, affecting everyone's judgment. Since 2016, the full implementation of packaged drinking water, meaning that the concept of water products will be all out of the market.

The new national standard will be drinking water as natural mineral water, drinking pure water, other drinking water three categories, which also indicates that the market into the mineral water and pure water division of the competition situation.

So what is the difference between mineral water and pure water?

1 form the difference. Pure water is to conform to the hygienic standards for drinking water water as raw material, using a variety of techniques, the heavy metals in the water, trihalomethanes, organic matter, radioactive substances, microbial harmful, toxic, remove most of the smell, eliminate to human health directly and the potential harm, then in the form of bottled listed for sale, supply people drinking. The formation of mineral water is complex. It is by the groundwater flow by the containing different components of strata, by lixiviation, anion and cation exchange adsorption and bio geochemistry, etc. a series of physical and chemical processes, the rock in the trace and major groups into the groundwater, enriched to a certain extent and the formation of a variety of different types of mineral water!

2.Difference of composition. Purified water is purified by distillation, reverse osmosis and other technologies to purify the raw water, while the removal of harmful substances, but also removed almost all of the beneficial trace elements and minerals. It is free of any impurities, non-toxic, sterile, easy to be absorbed by the body of oxygen containing active water.

Mineral water and tap water, pure water is different, it contains lithium, strontium, zinc, iodine, selenium, such as more than 20 kinds of trace elements and minerals, and some also contain relatively rich macro elements, such as rich in Ga, Mg, K, Na plasma.

3 the difference between drinking methods. Pure water is a direct drinking water, no matter the so-called heating or boiling, the summer is generally cool drink, after the winter heating to drink more. Mineral water in general should not be heated, can be a little warmer, it is best not to boil. Because mineral water containing calcium, magnesium and other macro elements is more, there is a certain hardness, at room temperature is ionic state, heating and boiling after the calcium and magnesium ions with easy and carbonate formation scale precipitation, so mineral water is the best drink is drinking directly at room temperature.

Pure water: is to meet the water quality standard of drinking water of water as raw material, by ion exchange method, distillation method appropriate processing method for processing, does not contain any additives and direct drinking water.

Advantages: pure water advantage embodies in the following aspects: high solubility, affinity with human cells have the strongest, the effect that promote metabolism; can eliminate the human digestive system of greasy, eliminate blood lipid, cholesterol lowering; medication drinking pure water is useful drugs fully dissolved and absorbed, so as to improve the curative effect and the drug residue discharged in time; can nourish the skin, favorable beauty, can delay the ethanol absorption, hangover effect.

Disadvantages: nearly a period of time, experts pointed out that pure water is filtered through the separation of drinking water, on the one hand, filter out harmful substances in the water, on the other hand also filter out of the human body beneficial minerals and trace elements. Children and the elderly, the need for calcium in the body of 30% from the water, drinking pure water for a long time, then there is no source of this part of the calcium; in addition to calcium in food more slowly than in the water, a lot of low. Long term drinking pure water, not only can not supplement calcium, zinc and other trace elements, the body has been the mineral water will be absorbed by the body in vitro.

Mineral water: the sale of mineral water on the market, no less 20. Mineral water is the source of water in the ground, by natural gush or artificial extraction of natural water, contains a wealth of iron, calcium, sodium and magnesium. In the process, the mineral water does not add minerals, such as carbon dioxide. In addition to physical sterilization, no chlorine or other water treatment. In addition, it is necessary to automatically equipment filling, sealing, so as not to be contaminated.

Generally speaking, pure from the ground gush, do not need artificial processing, filter net water it may be referred to as "natural mineral water", such as artificial groundwater pumping clean water, moderate after the treatment of sterilization, known as "general mineral water".

The international standard of mineral water, such as the international standard, is very strict.

A, at an altitude of 50 to 2500 meters height: 2500 meters above just as spring water, spring water.

Two, water sources: within a radius of 10 km of water pollution can not be changed because of the existence of.

Three, the spring must be naturally well, through other rock layers of filtration, the test is indeed rich in natural minerals.

Four, must be directly packaged in the place of origin, the best seal can also be completed within 24 hours to ensure that the tank is sterile, no pollution. Five, water quality must be tested by 10 years or so, to determine the amount of minerals, and access to the international water quality association marks, to prove its stability.

Advantages: it can be said is adapt to the water to drink, after all the trace elements are needed by the body, in addition to the nature of the pure water can simply for the body to add moisture, does not add other effects of the physical condition of the material, so anytime, anywhere can drink. Mild nature of mineral water is absolutely will not let the body of the difference.
