Baby water, oxygen-enriched water... Turn off the "high-end water" filter to see the real face

As the saying goes, water is the source of life

So, are these "high-end waters" really "higher-end" than ordinary water? In response to this issue, a reporter from Science and Technology Daily interviewed relevant experts

Various "magic" effects on the packaging

Some time ago, the media exposed the marketing chaos of alkaline water

Let us first take a look at the "magical" effects of these "high-end water" in the mouths of merchants

In view of the immature immune system and metabolic system of infants and young children, merchants have launched baby water with the concept of "sterility, low sodium, and low mineralization", saying that it is produced through high-temperature sterilization and aseptic production lines, so it can Ensure safe drinking water for infants and young children

The effect of oxygen-enriched water is even more "magical".

As enzymes are accepted by more and more people, some businesses have launched enzyme sparkling water

Suspected of being charged an "intelligence quotient tax"

So, are these "high-end waters" worth the money or are they "IQ taxes"?

In an interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily, Tianjin Meizhongyi and Pediatrician Chen Yaqin introduced that excessive intake of minerals and salt will indeed affect infants and young children.

"However, drinking water is not the main way for infants and young children to obtain trace elements.

The sterility emphasized by baby water can be easily achieved - just boil the water

"Baby water is not much higher-end than tap water, and there is no need for mothers to pay high prices

Regarding oxygen-enriched water, Mei Zhen, a lecturer in the Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, said that it is impossible to supply oxygen to the human body by drinking water

"Even if the oxygen is dissolved into the water by means of pressurization and then encapsulated, after the water bottle is opened, under the action of pressure, the oxygen may 'run' away

"In addition, people will generate free radicals in an oxygen-containing environment, which is also one of the main reasons for human aging

Enzyme is the Japanese name for enzymes.

"The bioactive components include various nutrients provided by plant raw materials and microorganisms, functional chemical components of plants in natural plants, and some active substances generated by fermentation, including amino acids, peptides, vitamins, etc.

The reporter saw an enzyme sparkling water on an e-commerce platform.
The enzyme content is not much, and the product standard implemented is GB/T 10792, which is the same as the implementation standard of most carbonated drinks
.
"Enzyme is just a selling point of this water.
Enzyme sparkling water is not much different from ordinary water

" Tan Guijun said
