Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I never understood BUYING water in little bottles. But then I have well water. I bought a few bottles of water while I was traveling. Now I just refill the bottles with water from home. I have discovered, though that I HATE Dansani water. (bottled by Coca Cola). They add stuff, like sodium to it to make it " taste better. " It doesn't. I just refill the bottles with my unadulterated water from home, then freeze them to take on trips.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 It really depends on where you live, Fay. Some places the tap water is DISGUSTING. Not just tastes disgusting, but smells horrible. Best tap water I ever tasted was what we got in Brooklyn. Worst was what we got when we lived very briefly in Sarasota, Florida. We didn't move back to Brooklyn, but we did move back to NY (not for the water tho! LOL!)

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I *think* it has something to do with potential bacterial buildup after a certain time? specially when there are no preservatives present (as would be expected in " natural spring water. " ) Considering that water has alot of thingies living in it. Anyone else have any ideas?

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 We have WONDERFUL tap water where I live now. It is clear, tastes wonderful...doesn't smell like chlorine, but I have lived places where I wouldn't drink the water that came out of the tap if it were the last drop of moisture on earth!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Well, personally, after three years of nothing but water and skim milk, I got bored and just couldn't choke down regular water anymore. Also, I live on Long Island where the breast cancer rate is 1 out of every 8 women will be diagnosed with it. Have four friends over the past five years diagnosed with breast cancer, getting too close for comfort. So I drink flavored bottled water. When I get sick of that, I'll go back to regular bottled water. I tend to go in spurts with things. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Ewwwwwwwww. I visited my friend in San a million years ago. I had such bad un-dx sleep apnea, so was up early (haha for anyone who knows me in real life) and made coffee. There were........ things..... that floated in it. The coffee tasted like pond scum. Made a mental note not to buy THAT brand again. LOL! She came out and said, oh neat, you DID use bottled water ,right? LOL! She tried to gently tell me that the tap water was not even suitable for car washing! Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I live in Florida. Talk about BAD tap water. If you turn the tap to hot, you can SMELL the water as it comes out of the faucet. Um, NOT drinking that stuff. We have one of those fridges with the water that comes out that door and it filters the water. It's not perfect, but I'm used to it I guess. If I go away for a week and then come home, the water tastes funny again. I just tough it out for a day and get used to it again. ---------------------------------------- Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.com http://www.5dollarhosting.com .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Fay, You live down near my grandmother (aren't you only a few miles away from her?) and I know that her tap water tastes like " Florida water " .

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Terry your grandmother and I have the same water since she lives within walking distance from me, but then again some people say I have no taste and will eat and drink anything (my family).

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Here in Cleveland we have awesome tap water---of course, we have Lake Erie as a water source, so we never have to worry about water. The only time we've had a boil alert is if any of the old sewer lines were being replaced or broke, and when we had the big blackout over the summer we were on a boil alert for like 4 days. ---who loves water more than anything!!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Nope, it has to do with the plastic bottles breaking down over time, especially if exposed to extremes of temperature and sunlight.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I rarely drink water of any kind. Maybe a quart a month because one of my medications requires it be taken with water. All my other liquid is diet soda, about 2 liters a day.

All my other liquid is diet soda, about 2 liters a day. ================================================ Soda, diet or otherwise does not sit well with me. I find them all way toooooo sweet and they make me gag. So I just plug along with water, flavored water, skim milk and decaf tea on occassion. Will admit that a cocktail or two has passed through these lips from time to time. Strictly for socializing purposes only. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I found an interesting article on a webpage about soda vs water. http://www.mcvitamins.com/water.htm http://www.mcvitamins.com/soda.htm I'd be concerned with the sodium amount if it has sodium in it. The link below has the issues that can happen with excess sodium in our bodies. Kind of suprised me. http://www.naturalhealthnotebook.com/Minerals/Sodium.htm Nitrates and phosphates in the soda can inhibit the absorbtion of nutrients. I just think we have enough of that going on without taking in more stuff to malabsorb the nutrients. This post was not written to change your mind, Ray, but I wanted to get this out there on what is known about soda since there is so much controversy on it so others can question and go research for themselves. While diet pop may sustain one's living as a valid fluid, I'm not sure the other negative stuff warrants it to be used over water as a main staple as counseled is all.
