To confirm the safety and effectiveness of water through far infrared filter, the participants were divided into two groups, general purified water (PW; precarbon filter, hollow fiber membrane filter, and postcarbon filter) drinking group (n=10) and far infrared filter water (FIW; precarbon filter, far infrared filter, and postcarbon filter) drinking group (n=10). All filters made by Dajin filter (Daejin Filter Co., Ltd., Chilgok, Gyeongbuk). All of participants were more than 200 mg/dL in total cholesterol levels and more than 23% in BMI (kg/m2). Drinking amount was 15mL/kg a day for three months. Blood glucose level, blood pressure, blood (CBC, HbA1C, GOT, GPT, T-cho, TG, K, P, Ca), and body fat tests were examined before drinking water, in one month, two months, and three months. In blood glucose test result, glucose level changed to 77.7±7.6 mg/dL in three months from 91.3 ±6.3 mg/dL before drinking in FIW group (p<0.001). However, there were no significant differences in blood pressure, blood test (CBC, HbA1C, GOT, GPT, T-cho, TG, K, P, Ca), and body fat test results. These results considered water through far infrared filter have blood sugar depressing effect, and safe because the water do not have a some impact on human body.
