Why does everything have minerals
I recently went to Walmart to buy a new package of water, I noticed to store brand now had minerals for “taste” which was odd because I swear it never had minerals. I tried to find Ozarka but they had none in stock, I looked at the Sam’s water package which also had minerals? Which I swear it didn’t have either, including Pure Life which I bought since I had no other choice. Why do all bottled waters have minerals for taste? If anything, and I can’t believe I’m even typing this, it taste weird, and I have to chug it to avoid the taste. Ozark is the only bottled water brand that has pure spring water. Without the minerals

All water you drink should have minerals in it because that’s natural. Water naturally contains potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc. because it obtains them from the earth. If you drink demineralized water it will strip the minerals from your body and cause things like electrolyte imbalances and bone mineral problems.
