RE: bottled water

[Guest guest]

Becky, the biggest concern is with the small bottles that are designed for one-time use. I think the home delivery service is another good option, if it's not too expensive. One of the websites I provided talks about how you can check on the actual source & quality of the water, if you use bottled water. Most people believe that bottled water is cleaner & healthier, but much of it is no better than tap water (depending on your local tap water!). I was surprised to learn that the inspection standards are lower for bottled water. We try to eat healthy, then have to worry about our lettuce, spinach, water. Makes me want to just grab some cookies & chips!

I use zephyrhills home delivery service. They bring the 5 gallon jugs (they do recycle). We just can't stand the odor and taste of the county water (too much chlorine). What I did notice was that my daughter and I both stopped with the GI distress after using bottled water for awhile. But we do recycle in other ways...plus as I said the 5 gallon jugs are recycled through their company (we pay a deposit on each jug).quiltenbe (AT) aol (DOT) com wrote:

I still do use bottled water for work, as we have no water cooler, and when I am away from home. When on vacation this year, my friend told me that the water down the shore wasn't safe for people with immune problems. That may or may not have been me, but why take a chance??

At home, I have a PUR water filter on my kitchen tap and a Brita filter pitcher in my fridge at all times. I just tastes better and I use filtered water for all ice, cooking etc. Even my dogs, most of the time. Our local water tastes like a swimming pool... Bonnie B
