We have talked about water in the past but this article made me want to discuss the issue again.
“There is no guarantee that bottled water is any better than tap water. Twenty-five percent of bottled water is actually just repackaged tap water,†says Jane Sadler, M.D., family medicine physician on the medical staff at Baylor Medical Center at Garland.
1)Drinking water each day is a complimentary therapy- I can't get 64oz into my body each day but I do drink several 8-10 oz glasses each day-
2) As others on the list have pointed out previously, water from bottles causes pollution-lots of plastic in landfills. I installed a whole house filtration system (reverse osmosis). The place where I exercise each day has water filters everywhere.
3) When I do buy bottled water I consider it choosing the lesser of two evils. Bottled water has it's problems but if the label says its distilled or R/O then I consider it better than ingesting the chlorine, floride and heavy metals that can be present in tap water. DavidÂ
David, you said you installed a whole house filtration system (reverse osmosis).
How does this work? I asked for reverse osmosis here and all they give us was a small filter that produces small amounts of drinking water - it depletes quick ly and then we have ot wait an hour for it to replenish. they said it is impossible to put the whole house on reverse osmosis. so our showers etc. are all tap water, which worries me.
i don't understand why they are saying we can't put the whole house on reverse osmosis, when you are saying you did this.Â
