If you can get it, you really should be consuming alkaline water. I have a special machine that splits the water into alkaline and acidic (you are alkaline, inside, your skin is acidic). The only catch, is that the machine cost me about $6,000!! Of course - I do not have ANY medical bills, so it evens out. Stick to distilled/flitered water. Unless you can get your own water FROM a spring (actually go to the spring and get it), don't dring spring/mineral water.
