Drink a lot of water? (Read 735 times)

Something to think about.

That's one of many great articles I have seen on the subject, I'm surprised it's taken this long to address it. For convenience, I used to buy bottles for my son to drink during his soccer matches. I eliminated this in short order, refilling Gatorade bottles instead. I have a collection of about ten Gatorade/Vitamin Water bottles that have been in and out of the dishwasher for a couple of years now, and they are none the worse for wear and tear. They're actually more convenient for me than Nalgene bottles, they fit in the dishwasher more easily and the durability is amazing. My sister is a Poland Springs addict, and I've pretty much given up on my sermons to her in spite of the fact that Boston area drinking water is great. What has really surprised me is my 80-something mother's addiction to the stuff. For sixty plus years tap water was fine for her, but now it doesn't taste good? Yuppification knows no bounds.

MWRA water rocks.

Another thing with bottled water- when the water goes into the bottle, it's no longer considered water, but a food source, regulated by the FDA vs. the EPA, which allows a lot more contaminates to remain in the water.
