1.0 out of 5 stars Reader beware! Good topic, bad book., Mar 25 2002

This review is from: Water: The Shocking Truth That Can Save Your Life (Paperback)

The fact that this book includes advertising for the publisher's other, completely unrelated products should be a clue that the information is heavily biased. I bought this book, along with a few others on the same subject, because it was highly rated by other reviewers. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed, which compelled me to write a review of my own.

One of the main tenets of this book is that beneficial minerals, like calcium, should be ingested from organic sources like vegetables, not from inorganic sources like non-distilled water. The Braggs suggest that inorganic minerals in our drinking water contribute to hardening of the arteries and a host of other ailments.

This theory, which is stated as a scientific fact, is hardly established within the medical or scientific community. This, and much of the other material presented in the book, is quite controversial, and the Braggs never acknowledge any opposing views, presenting their opinions as gospel.

While I actually agree that distilled water is healthy, there are a few issues that the Braggs never even discuss. One: the possibility of distilled water leaching essential minerals from your body. This is easily addressed, since the amount of mineral loss you can expect is easily compensated for by a healthy diet. Two: the importance of storing distilled water in an "inert" (e.g. glass) container, since distilled water is "aggressive," meaning it tends to leach possible toxins from plastic containers.

These are just two examples of glaring omissions that the uninformed reader might never realize. This book makes a lot of amazing claims. Just remember, if it seems too good to be true, you should be suspicious. If you want to read a good book on water contaminants and water purification, buy "The Drinking Water Book" by Colin Ingram.

This review is from: Water: The Shocking Truth That Can Save Your Life (Paperback)

This book is a real eye opener. I thought I was being pretty healthy. Little did I know the very water I was drinking from the tap was so bad for me! This book offers a no nonsense view of the water we drink and bathe in. Distilled water is the way to go! The section on shower filters was also very inspiring. I got some for my home and have noticed an immediate difference and improvement! Please take the time to read this book. Think seriously about what it says and you will make some healthy changes for the short and long term. Chlorine and fluoride are killers. Thanks so much to the Braggs.

This review is from: Water: The Shocking Truth That Can Save Your Life (Paperback)

In my search for "what" water to drink I've been plagued with advice from several people while investigating what water is best for the human body! I have heard it all from distilled, reverse osmosis, mineral, micro and BEV! I was so confused until I read Patricia Braggs book "Water-The Shocking Truth." The challenge I had with the previous advice is nobody would tell me "why" I should drink the water they recommend! Patricia finally puts that question to rest once and for all with a finite explanation of the difference of non-organic and organic minerals! Simply put, the body will NOT assimilate non-organic minerals thus the human body craves pure H2O water...distilled water...nothing but Hydrogen and Oxygen! This book really drives the point home and gives you a feeling of security while making the choice to change what water to drink! Thanks again for a wonderful book packed with information!!!

More and more bad things are creeping into our water from runoff. Dangerous chemicals have entered many wells. Some bottled water is better than tap water. Read more
