I had to laugh when I read this. I work across the hall from a vitamin shop. The guy who works there expounds loudly all day about how wonderful this and that is. The most recent thing he has been telling anyone who makes the mistake of looking sidelong into his shop is that the water we drink is "unstructured" and that is why people get ill. Their sick cells are surrounded by this "unstructured" water. He claims that the water is missing a molecule and the only way to fix it is to leave it in the sun all day and moonlight all night in a jar in contact with the earth then shoot quantum touch energy through it. Then it will be ok to drink.
What these people don't understand is that just because you read it in a book doesn't make it true. And the stuff you read that is true may not be showing the whole picture. For instance, just because the eskimos drink this heavy mineralized water and do not have mental illness does not mean that our taking lots of minerals will fix us. The eskimos also eat mostly meat and they live in frigid tempuratures. Both of which have change their matabolism so it is different from ours.
And remember when we found out that eggs were bad for us because of the cholesterol. Then they discovered that a large percentage of the cholestoral in eggs are actually the "good" kind so it is alright to eat them in moderation.
It is nuts. I think it is best said "moderation in all things." Thank you to whoever coined that phrase.
