Bottled water in the Fridge.

Bottled water in the car.

Bottled water in my purse.

I heard that it's not good for the body. . . .is this a myth or fact?

And why isn't it good again? Educate me

If bottled water is not good, is carbonated water the option to go with? A friend once told me that some chemical reactions do take place inside the water as a result of bottle particles. These particles are invisible and not dangerous to the consumer but cant fathom the effect excess of it would'av.

Wowwwwwwwwww!! It's like you tried to get to me, but I didn't get it.

[Quite impressive when they turn serious and type like students for once. Am astound!]

Ok, but be more specific on how it can be a danger to the drinker.

rotflmao. . . .so those weren't your words.

Bolded will be clarified when your identity is revealed. Deal

The website you gave me showed how it'll affect the environment, not me specifically.

Pure water is the new Bottled water, didn't you hear?

Visa ke?

It's not that it's not good but it's not all that pure 100%. It contains germs just like water straight from the tap.

So, just bear in mind when drinking bottled water that it's not the best, that doesn't mean you shouldn't drink it as there is no best one out there.

I read somewhere that even tap water is better than bottled water.

I don't want think so

I was watching something in the news last year about some company here in the states that just fills in the bottles with tap water and sell it. Don't remember the name of the company but they said it was perfectly legal so paying for bottled water was just a waste of money.

Some states add fluoride to tap water which is good for your teeth.

oh hell no!!

It cost a fortune to buy bottled water. I'd have sued them.

Was it the one that starts with D? I noticed that it tastes bitter after a while

It was last year dear I don't remember the names now, but I'm sure if you do some research you'd find out. The only time I buy bottled water is when I'm in a place that gets it's water from wells. That hard water from wells just kills me.

Then what water do you drink? not tap, I hope.

I don't trust tap water because of the rusting pipes

Rusting pipes what state or how old is the house you live in, most states now make it mandatory to use PVC pipes.

LOL, I once watched an episode from HOUSE.
This lady got admitted to the hospital, later diagnosed as poison from rusted pipelines.

You know that you and your neighbor share the same pipeline, right?
Who knows whats up in there?

The chlorine they add at the water treatment should take care of all the stuff that is harmful.

So how dirty can bottled water be if tap water is no better.

What I really want to know is why it's not healthy.

It depends on who you talk to dear, some people will tell you the drink bottled water because the can't stand the chlorine or the fluoride. Some drink bottled water because it's distilled and gone through the Reverse Osmosis process and some like me don't care and just drink the tap water.

ogidiboy, pls can you translate this for me pls?

Dear well water is not as bad I can't stand it because if you try to use it to do laundry or wash dishes if never lathers, don't forget it goes through the water treatment plant before it gets to your house unless you live out in the country.

I just don't drink bottled water because it's a waste of money.
