Bottled Water vs Tap water

Alienheat4 Posts: 47 Joined: 2003/09/07	2004/02/29, 01:26 AM For the last couple of days I have been wondering what the differnce between bottled water and tap water is. The only one I could think of is that tap water has flouride in it, but that's it. I know there are many different types of bottled water such as mineral water or spring water, and that on top of that there are differencet companies. In general does one have an advantage over another?

I would say why bother when you are all ready paying your local municipality for water. -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

When I finish it, I just refill it with tap water over and over at work. I will buy a new bottle every 3 days or so, just to have a fresh bottle to fill, and have a drink on the way to work. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I live near a bottler (Labrador) and the trucks are coming in with water almost every 2-3hrs (the color of mud). On the other hand though, others are just tap water, but have past through about 17 diferent types of filtering systems, almost like at a pharmaceutical company where they make syrups etc and the water has to be really filtered. We used to buy bottled water due to my wife not being able to digest the water from our tap, we are saving lots of $$$ now with just a filter in one of those water jugs.

Also did you notice how babies eat all measure of stuff..... Helps them develop an imune system....I'm sure we can tolerate a couple of impurities in our drinking water without it throwing us in to gastric rebellion!
