Differents Mineral waters

When we talk about mineral water it seems to me that we are not aware of the differences among them. Once again we have to speak about solids contents in the water, quantity of mg of solid content in a liter of water, and then we can see the difference. For example, we have Bezoya (manufactured in Madrid) with 26 mg/l as one of the best you can consume; most of the water in the market are above 100 mg/l ( Lanjarón, Solán, Fontvella, etc.). There are two trademarks treated with Reverse Osmosis which are sold under the names : Aquarel from Nestlé, and Aquafina from Pepsi group, both around 10 mg/l when we made TDS test (Total Dissolved Solids). So when we speak about mineral water we have to consider TDS test to compare the hardness of the mentioned water, not if we like the taste or not; we don´t have to forget that WHO consider healthy waters those with a solid content under 50 mg/l.
