Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 The Crystal Springs in the US only delivers their water in those polycarbonate hard plastic jugs. I am unsure what kinds of water they sell to individual grocery chains, as they have quite a few lines and kinds of water. As my community uses flouridation, and as we have some strange colors in our toliet bowls...and the neighbors have it too, until I can afford a full water system, and also desiring the alkaline water, I find this is safest thing I can do now. Whether I see it or not, many systematic infections, whether fungal or bacterial, have their start in municipal water supplies. People who are immune compromised tend to hang onto low levels of spores and contaminates unlike others with healthier guts. I have a feeling, up in Canada, things may be a tiny bit better in some ways, then what we have here in the US. I may be wrong, Carol, but honestly, I trust Canadian tap water more than I do tap water here, for what its worth. Flouride bonds with minerals, trapping them so the body cannot use them. Crystal Springs makes a flouridated water that is cheaper, and I am wondering if that is what is carried in the stores. The harder the water, the thicker the plastic must be as well, so that leads me to believe this is soft packaged water.

Medium jugs delivered are $7.00 each not counting the bottle deposit. Now I use tap water for cooking and the bottled one for drinking. I tried every brand of spring water in the supermarket and the only one that actually tasted better was the Fernbrook house brand from Costco. I was concerned that it is in soft plastic ratrher than polycarbonate but when Crystal Springs in Ontario discontinued their medium sized bottle, I was stonewalled as their 18 liter one was too heavy for me to lift. Now they too have switched to soft plastic so no reason to use their services. That money buys six pounds of good pecan halves to make into nut flour. Carol F.
