Re: Glucosamine<H2O Ca alert>

Hi,

Please be extra careful when drinking bottled water these days. I noticed

some fine print on a plastic bottle of water to read, " with added minerals " .

Sounds good? Think again. Calcium Chloride is the first ingredient listed.

Calcium Chloride is the chemical that is placed on the highways to melt the ice

after it snows. DOW chemicals reports that it causes all sorts of

gastrointestinal & respiratory disorders when ingested & yet the FDA approved

adding it to bottled water?!?

Be cautious, Jim

Actually, that's principally a matter of not having enough of the

right vitamins (principally K2). To grossly oversimplify, vitamin D

enables calcium absorption and vitamin K2 makes sure it goes to the

right places.

Jim - Which brand of water did you see that on?

Here's a blog posting about Nestle Pure Life brand:

http://mattscuppa.wordpress.com/2007/07/29/nestle-pure-life-filtered-water-with-\

added-minerals/

He doesn't address the calcium chloride in this post. But according to

this material safety data sheet, it is harmful to swallow or inhale

calcium chloride:

" WARNING! CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.

HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. "

How do they get away with this stuff?!

I have friends that drink those mineral waters all the time. I ask them " do you

know what this stuff is? " They say, " ya, its vitamins " . I ask if they are sure

and they respond with " it says calcium " .

Once a friend bought me one of those mineral waters and I told them I didn't

want to hurt their feelings but, I really didn't want to drink this water. I

took it back and exchanged it for a plain water.

My ex was a cement finisher. Calcium chloride is also a chemical they put in

cement to make it set up faster. He used to have it added on really hot days in

the Texas summers.
