Re: magnesium chloride oil, crystal geyser

[Guest guest]

Hi , I can't answer your questions, sorry, but I'm curious

about " magnesium chloride oil, " what oil is this? In other words, is

it magnesium chloride added to oil, or is it a sort of mineral oil?

Never heard of it.

Also with crystal geyser spring water, isn't that just another of

Nestle's brands of water that are normal tap water? I know they own

Poland Springs and a half a dozen other bottled water brands, it seems

to me crystal geyser was one of them. Curious as to why you specified

that brand; is there something special about it?

Good luck,

Jeanmarie

Crystal Geyser is cheap and based on all my research it is 100% spring water

with minimal filtration.

Thanks, . I just checked and I think I was thinking of Calistoga

Water Co. as one of the many bottled water brands owned by Nestle.

I just found this report card on the Environmental Working Group

site. They list the owner as Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water/ CG

Roxane, LLC. EWG gives this water a D grade. For details, see:

http://www.ewg.org/health/report/bottledwater-scorecard/search?id=BW14

At any rate, it's a bottled water that comes in plastic bottles, the

disposal of which is an enormous environmental problem. When I rarely

buy bottled water (usually by the gallon if I need to give water to my

dogs and I forgot to fill their WaterBoy bowls before leaving home) I

do buy Crystal Geyser myself, but I try to avoid having to do so.

It got a low grade because there isn't very much information on it listed from

the company and it is put through minimal filtration.  I prefer that spring

water is put through minimal filtration because filtration denatures the water. 

A lot of companies will go 50% spring water and 50% filtered tap water.

I buy the gallon containers for 78 cents a piece and throw it into a 5 gallon

glass container.  I think it is wasteful to get the 16 oz packs.  I can just add

some bentonite or pyrophilite clay into it to filter out any extra impurities. 

You know the expensive Evian water is naturally filtered by clay at their site. 

There are other cheap remedies I can do to further purify it.  I was told by a

nutritionist it takes a year for the plastic particles to start mixing into the

water.

If I could afford it I would go with Evian, fiji, or maybe even perrier

instead.  I don't feel like I'm missing out on much else though.

Is there any other reason you don't like crystal geyser than the reasons I

listed above?

Forget the bentonite clay.  Do either terramin clay or pyrophilite clay.

bentonite can be harmful

Springs have a lot of heavy metals in them since they bubble up from

the ground.

I use this water and I got a lab analysis of it by contacting them through

their website. I was primarily concerned about the fluoride contact which

turned out to be only trace amounts. The lab analysis looked pretty good to

me.

Re the plastic containers, I recycle them.

I'm glad you recycle them. Unfortunately, about 98% of the people who

buy them don't.

Recycling is much better than not recycling, but still requires a lot of

energy. Most recyclables are shipped on freighters back to places like China

and India to be recycled then brought back over to America to be turned into

things like new plastic bottles.

I agree. Better to cut back on plastics usage (not just for bottles),

for both personal and environmental health. There are some critical

applications where plastic can't easily be replaced, but we'd be

better off eliminating the need for plastic disposables at least.
