I've been told that Microwaving food literally kills all nutritional value.
What effects does this have on water, not sure but safest method in my opinion would be to boil water to eliminate any impurities.
As for using Well water, with Spring water so cheap ... why deviate from the recipe?
Don't be fooled by honey brands claiming to be natural. Many are loaded with antibiotics! Best bet is to use organic brands.
