1: is there any nutritionanal value in the plastic in those
plastic water bottles that everyone is so crazzy over. 2: has any company came out with a bottle that dose not erode wile the water is in it. I would buy in to the bottled water craze if it was not liquid plastic...... 3: is there a real absolut way to tell if the bottled water is not your average tap water? |

1: Nutrition? The idea of bottled water is that it's purified by putting in lots of chemicals so that all the harmful stuff is removed. Water isn't supposed to be nutritional. All the filtering just takes away the bad stuff.
2: I've never had a bottle that eroded before I drank the contents. 3: No. But you wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyway. Bottled water is good when you go to a country that doesn't filter the water the same as in the US, like Mexico and most of the rest of Latin America. It's not that their water is bad, its just that our systems are used to lots of chemicals and stuff. I wouldn't be suprised if someone from another country got sick from all the chemicals in our water. So why bother in the US? I don't know. Maybe it's because people just like the bottles. I do.

I seem to remember from my chemistry classes that water dissolves practically anything it comes into contact with, even if it's only by an infinitestimal amount.
Plastic, glass, various metals, you name it, we've probably got it. Then again my memory could be wrong. I never really paid much attention during chemistry

Remember, non-bottled water isn't always bad. It's got flouride.
Well, that's bad if you're one of those McCarthy-loving wackos from the 50s who thought that flouridation was a Communist conspiracy (Dr. Strangelove anyone ?).

The reason you get mildly sick when first drinking water from another geographic area is because the natural micro-organism flora is different. Until your immune system compensates for this, your digestive tract is going to go haywire. It's also why you tend to get sick with colds easier after you first move to the new geographic area.
