$33 a bottle? One can buy a lot of mineral supplements at the health food store for that kind of scratch.

Think Artesian spring water that you then remove the water from to boost the concentration of mineral matter per oz.

Funny thing about this "mineral water goodness," I tried a glass of mineral water once.

It tasted HORRIBLE, and gave me the shits.

Now why should I pay $35 for a little bottle of mineral water I'm supposed to dilute, it'll taste terrible, and give me the shits?

I don't drink mineral water either...unless limes, gin and quinine have recently become minerals.

My guess is that nothing good or bad is going to happen. It's going to be like drinking water that's too hard, which people all over the world do every day will no ill health effects. If the water you drink has too many minerals for your body to use, your kidneys just flush it out.
