Sulphat
in bottled water is ranging up to 500 mg/l with very view waters (San Pelegrino,
..) and most waters contain well below 100mg/l. Sulphates are the salts of
sulphur. They have a detoxifying effect on the liver and stimulate the function
of the gall bladder and thus the digestive function as well. In high doses, they
have a laxative effect. As an integral component of protein, sulphate is found
in all foods containing protein such as fish, meat or milk products. Sulphates
are absorbed by the body only in very small quantities. However, they bind water
in the intestine together with magnesium or sodium, stimulate peristalsis and
thus digestion. Therefore slightly bitter tasting mineral waters, rich in
sulphates, are suitable after eating as “anti-alcoholic bitters”
