Water

lufties

Right, after compiling information from different sources about what is the best water to drink, I'm still none the wiser.

The standard water like evian, volvic etc contains too much minerals and too expensive to be drinking 3 plus litres a day. Tap water is full of nasties including fluoride and when filtered all the good is gone out of it. I've been recommended a polish water which is affordable and apparently contains the correct composits such as 50mg od magnesium.

It sure is strange that there is so little info about something that is so important for human survival and which makes up 70 percent of us.

I don't know the mineral composition or the molecular structure of the space-time continuum, but Aldi and Lidl's bottled water is good and cheap.

Recycled sewage water is the best, keep it green.

In my opinion, Unicorn tears are the only thing out there worth drinking. volvic, evian, nd hawaii fiji equatorial bulsh*t are for poor people and muggles.

Huh? I wasn't being passive aggressive, just going a fancy way of saying 'I can't answer your question fully, but here's what I can tell you...'

Sorry I bothered you with my...help.

When we were kids our favourite water was from the hose in the garden. Something about the plasticky taste/smell :-)

Evian spelt backwards sums up the bottled water market...

Has become pricey since the unicorn cull of 2013, pure lunacy.

Do a blind taste test....seriously, it will take about 15 minutes, but it will change your outlook on water.

Pour a few identical glasses with the same amount of water. Use some expensive brands, some cheap brands, and tap water. Label the bottoms with a piece of paper or something (before pouring the water). Chill them all to the same temp (or let them all settle to room temp).

Mix them up, close your eyes, drink each one and order them by preference. Look at the bottom and write down what order you like.

Do it three times.

My wife used to *swear* by bottled water. Not any bottled water, but she needed her particular brand of water.

Without seeing them, she couldn't tell the difference between tap water or anything else! Of course, for years prior, she *swore* that her bottled stuff didn't have the 'nasty taste' that tap water did. That you could taste how 'pure' it was.

I don't care how it tastes as long as its 1. not poisoning me and 2. its actually doing me good.

Compelling argument, tell me more.

On a side note, the amount of smokers I meet who are like, "Oh, no, never drink tapwater. Do you know what's in it?" as they inhale the 100 or so carcinogens.

Fair enough. Also, I'll take 'commoner' any day. At least I can take some solace in the fact that I can spell, and wasn't the one who got offended when it seemed like somebody took the piss after I started a serious thread in AH about the various properties of bottled water.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the general consumer. You can sell anything if you market it properly and get the right groups on your side, money talks.

Oh ffs Flouride is not poisonous because the amounts put in the water are tiny.

We need to keep challenging these conspiracies about flouride They are dangerous nonsense.

Get a de-ionising under sink filter, remove all those nasties from tap water, and cheaper over a year than buying bottled

Probably distilled, as it takes out everything that isn't h2o. The machines aren't too cheap though.

Saying that no harm taking an A-Z mv+mineral supplement just to cover the rda, most people probably do anyway, the one dolla shops sell em, 30 days supply cheap.
