Bottled Water!Bottled water definitely is your safest bet when you are traveling overseas or even to another county. You are definitely taking your life into your hands every time you drink water from the tap. Not just the possibility of picking up germs from others using the same tap, but hidden in the lovely invisibility of water lies all sorts of dangerous surprises.
But don't we need minerals in our water? Absolutely we do. But the minerals that somehow become part of our water supply now includes heavy metals like mercury and lead as well as other highly toxic chemical compounds like chlorine and arsenic. Also with just about every single garden in every city using an average of 1 litre of weed sprays and fertilizer per year, we have millions and millions of litres of these chemicals entering into our water systems. So how can I guarantee that the water in the bottle I buy from the shop is clean and pure? I can recall drinking bottles of water when I was in Bali at the age of 18. I was told not to drink the water. Buy the bottled water. It's safe! I was sure that many of those bottled looked pretty recycled with pop on lids. Taisted nice and cool and I only got the Bali belly once. But we really do take the trust of our health into the hands of the water bottling companies. We trust they are filling these bottles with cool clean mineral and spring water. How do we know that they are not just filling them up with water from the tap. You never will unless you go to the bottling plant yourself and investigate their filling method. In most western countries we have a great standard of health and you can just tell that the quality of the bottled water is excellent. It tastes clean and very refreshing and you just know that you are drinking excellent clean drinking water with no chlorine at least. If it is spring water straight from the ground, it definitely should not have any chlorine diluted in it.
The easiest thing to do and a great one to make an experiment of is to take a bottle of water and send it into you local water board for testing. You may be very surprised to find what toxins somehow have been able to enter what is supposed to be a "pure natural source". Finally, what bottle is my bottled water carried in. Are they glass or plastic. If you are drinking from glass bottles, then all you are depending on is whether or not the bottles were cleaned and flushed out correctly with pure water before then being filled with pure water. If you are drinking from plastic bottles as 99 percent of us do and how all water is packaged now, we have the trace of the plastic manufacturing chemical that may now become diluted in the water. How toxic are these plastic traces, and are they carcenogenic. That is cancer causing. The future will only tell.
Warmly, Mike King
