Better water could Cut heart deaths study says Washington api a scientific report suggests that us deaths from heart disease and related illnesses could be reduced by 15 per cell annually through improvement of drinking water. The reduction would be possible if water contained Jusi the right amount of inorganic and Mineral components according tothe study ordered by the environmental Protection  the United Stales cardiovascular diseases account for Mure than one half of about two million deaths that occur each year tie report said on the Assumption that water factors Are causally implicated it is estimate that optimal conditioning of drinking water could reduce this annual cardiovascular disease mortality rate in the United states by As much As 15 per  that would mean 150.000 fewer deaths year.
