Should mineral water be used for cooking?
According to Doctor Nguyen Dinh Binh, a lecturer in medicine at the Dong Do University, both distilled water and mineral water are safe for drinking.
However, it is important to note that mineral water contains various minerals such as calcium, sodium, and potassium. If used for cooking instead of drinking, these minerals may be affected, leading to the formation of calcium and sodium deposits, for example.
Such changes in the water’s composition can alter the nutritional content of food, which may have adverse effects on the consumer, especially those with kidney-related issues or weak kidneys.
Doctor Binh advises against using mineral water for cooking and recommends it only for hydration, such as for those who are physically active and tend to sweat a lot. In other words, mineral water is best used for drinking and not for cooking.
2 Is distilled water suitable for cooking?
Unlike mineral water, distilled water does not contain any mineral components. This type of water is also hygienic, having undergone a purification process that includes sterilization and the removal of impurities. Therefore, distilled water is suitable for daily drinking and cooking without any health concerns.
According to Doctor Binh, during periods of water pollution, using distilled water for cooking is a viable and recommended option.
Some reputable brands of distilled water include [Brand 1], Lavie, and Dasani.
