Bottled Water or Tap Water?

I drink distilled water at home, only. There is a local company that uses the most advanced distillation process in the world. The hospitals in town use the water exclusively.

There are those that argue against distilled but there are just as many who argue for it. Regardless, I prefer the taste.

At work, I drink Amaro Natural Spring Water, bottled and freely available to government employees (at my other job I have the distilled water from Cristill Rock that, as I stated above, the hospitals use). The Amaro water is taken from a fresh reserve 92 m under hard rock, and is surrounded by 28 million ft^2 of forrest, untouched by industry to date. The only thing close to this well is the plant where the water is bottled. No trucking the water out to an off-site facility.

I'm rather militant about my water.

Grow up, educate yourself, and try and pull yourself out of your ignorance bubble sometime in the next few years.


Yes, I'm sure that the millions of dentists, doctors, and PHD scientists who have over and over again failed to prove a link between normally flourinated water and flourosis are just a giant "good ole boy" network.

For your information, cases of flourosis normally only occur in areas that have well water that is contaminated by lots of naturally occurring flouride in the ground. Texas, New Mexico and Mexico seem to have the most trouble with this.

Let's also forget the benefit that flouride has for millions by helping prevent tooth decay.

If you can name one reputable scientific organization that has been able to prove a causitive link between flouride in tap water and flourosis I'll give you a cookie.

Bottle water only here (Hamilton Tap Water Taste's like crap)
Back home in Ottawa, I drink both. Tap water whenever I'm in the kitchen, bottle water everywhere else because I'm less likely to spill it :/

Depends where you live. When I lived in the city (LA) the water was orange and stank. In the suburbs, the water is still brackish, but my main complaint is that it isn't cold enough. Need ice. When I was driving around Yosemite, that tap was the best water I've had in recent memory. And it was cold.

Just expanding on hardness. As cole said it is a high level of dissolved minerals in the water. Although usually it means calcium and magnesium specifically.

For example with that spring I mentioned. The water had passed through limestone cliffs. Limestone is a form of calcium carbonate. Therefore explaining the hardness as there would have been excessive amounts of calcium in the water.


Anyway, looks like you're buying more than just water armaniwearr.
