Al-Marsad Newspaper: The Food and Drug Authority confirmed that the sodium in bottled water is present in very few percentages, and does not pose a threat to the health of consumers who do not suffer from health problems.
This came in response to a citizen’s question, “Does bottled drinking water cause blood pressure diseases and urinary tract infections, because it contains a high percentage of sodium?”
The authority said via Twitter, that bottled drinking water contains small amounts of sodium compared to that found in many food products.
And the authority added, your reading of the food label behind the packages contributes to your knowledge of the amounts of sodium in each food product, which makes it easier for you to make the right choice.
And peace be upon you, bottled drinking water contains small amounts of sodium compared to many food products, so its presence does not constitute any concern for the health of the consumer who does not suffer from any health problems or who requires a low-sodium diet.
