| Will those who prefer drinking softened water be deprived of minerals necessary for good health? |
| No, drinking softened water will not deprive you of minerals necessary for good health. The beneficial minerals necessary for good health come mostly from food in a balanced diet – not from drinking softened water. Neither drinking hard water nor drinking softened water can provide a significant proportion of the daily needs for minerals. For example, a glass of hard water contains only about one tenth of the calcium that is in an equal volume of milk. Home Page | FAQs | Glossary | Contact Us |
