Better Oxygen = Better Taste = Better For You

When it comes to taste, better O² makes all the difference.

Scientific and anecdotal evidence shows that water with high oxygen levels tastes better than water with low O². Here are just a few points-in-case showing that better oxygen means better taste:

From an article on GrowingHappiness.com about reboiling water:

The more oxygen that is dissolved in water, the better it tastes. So, to make sure you use water with the maximum amount of oxygen, don’t re-boil any leftover water in your kettle. Water that is boiled too much becomes poorly aerated because oxygen atoms escape in the form of steam. By always filling your kettle up afresh, you are ensured fully aerated and tasty water.

And to be clear, what “aerated water” really means: Aerated water, correctly speaking, is distilled water with purified air added to improve its flavor. Wikipedia

And an anecdotal reference: “You have forced out all the dissolved gasses in water when you boil it, and that’s why it tastes “flat.”

So what exactly happens to water when boiled that makes it taste different? It’s because of the lack of dissolved O².

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is O² dissolved in water. The oxygen dissolves by diffusion from the surrounding air; aeration of water that has tumbled over falls and rapids; and as a waste product of photosynthesis.

Ever own a goldfish? Every few days, you need to “change the water” and aerate it well by pouring it back and forth between two containers for several minutes. Aerating adds O2 to the water; the fish “breath” the dissolved oxygen from the water, or the fish will suffocate.

Now that we have some idea about why it is good to have a good level of dissolved O² in the water we use for our beverages and pet fish, we can take this idea further. It is reasonable then to conclude that highly processed food will have lower oxygen levels.

Highly processed food means food with low oxygen.

Your body needs oxygen to digest, process, and metabolize the nutrients in the food you eat. Some of your body’s functions require oxygen from food. When your food lacks O², your body has to steal O² from other processes to digest it. The more processed the food, the more oxygen-deprived your body becomes. What this means for your body and your health is this.

If that wasn’t enough to make you reconsider eating processed food, then consider this shocking piece of information from Lenntech.com:

A high DO level in a community water supply is good because it makes drinking water taste better. However, high DO levels speed up corrosion in water pipes. For this reason, industries use water with the least possible amount of dissolved oxygen. Water used in very low pressure boilers have no more than 2.0 ppm of DO, but most boiler plant operators try to keep oxygen levels to 0.007 ppm or less.

Think about it, the water used by industries is purposefully stripped of its O² content to extend the life of the plumbing! Do the plants that process food also de-oxygenate their water supplies for the same reason?

OxygenSuperCharger contains only pure water, some minerals from sea salt, and 35% stabilized oxygen. That’s it. Nothing else is needed to create our product. It has a pleasant taste and is easy to use. Because just like with any water, we don’t recommend putting it in hot or boiling liquids so it doesn’t lose its bio-available liquid O² content. So if you do eat processed foods, you may want to consider supplementing your body’s oxygen level.
