Greetings!
Drink plenty of water, but avoid bottled water when you can. It pollutes the environment and is often bottled from tap water. When you must, choose from brands with clear labeling and advanced treatment.
Only 2 bottled waters disclose water sources and treatment methods on their labels and offer a recent water quality test report on their websites. None of the top 10 U.S. domestic bottled water brands label specific water sources and treatment methods for all their products.
One of my favorite brands in the past had been Ice Mountain. After scoring it with this scorecard system I found it is not purified and uses no advanced treatments for cleaning or safety. It's overall score was a D. Not good...not good at all!
Go to this webpage and check out your favorite water brands. Find out if it is truly just another tap water in a plastic bottle or if it is really treated and purified like it should be.

So...Have a healthy day! I hope you learned something about bottled water today!

America drinks more bottled water than any other country in the world. Two facts arise from this statistic.
1- We create more problems with the environment with all these plastic bottles. 2- We still are the most dehydrated country in the world.
Why?
Plastic bottles take decades to decompose...definitely not 'earth-friendly.'
Most bottled waters are not healthy. They are acidic waters and not always purified as well as we think.
How do you rate your favorite bottled water?
This site analyzes hundreds of bottled waters as to whether they are purified by acceptable standards. How healthy is your water?

It is pretty interesting. Of course, if you want the healthiest water available...that you can bottle yourself from your own sink using an Enagic machine...then you want this water--- Kangen Water.
Let me know if you'd like to try Kangen Water. We have a terrific sharing program...people with Enagic units who share Kangen Water with others.
Just let me know.
Thanks.
