Tap water is OK, although many will filter it too. It varies according to municipalities standards.
Bottled water in plastic has plastic micro-particles which leak into the liquid.
The longer the liquid has been in a plastic bottle, the more micro-particles it has.
The micro-particles mimic estrogen, thus confusing the body's natural chemistry, and affecting fertility.
That is why the male fertility rate is rapidly declining in the U.S.
Better to drink from glass, or other container, other than any plastic container.
Most beer, wine, and liquors are bottled in glass, although many are bottled in plastic to reduce weight in transport.
I never thought that drinking beer from a glass bottle would become a positive health issue,
but I am willing to try (!). For those of us who regularly drink beer, especially 'craft beer', we now have an excuse for why we have so many children,
and to think that we used to blame snow storms, Catholicism and 'the Irish'.
Just in time for St Patrick's Day, no less !!
I never buy water. I drink it from a glass from my tap, or from drinking water fountains.
What will they think of next?
For all of your information, I am going to die, sometime.
So what. It goes in, goes out.
I deeply despise the concept of bottled water. There’s a reason God made our bodies the way He did. We’re supposed to be able to fight off stuff to build our immune systems. By demanding excess purity, we become sicker.
I’ll bet I haven’t drank more than 50 water bottles in my life. We’ve gotten some on occasion for use on a trip or in rare instances when no tap or well was available.
A few years ago, I took a group of boys to a scout camp. One of the mommies insisted on sending cases of bottled water because little precious didn’t like the taste of well water.
I refused. Let junior drink from the well. That taste is called minerals and it’s good for you.
In backcountry, I filter creek water. I once drank straight from Lake Superior. Cold and tasty.
1st thing i thought of.
Well, I’ll be darned!
I don't really notice plastic when drinking sodas, but I never drink coffee out of plastic, like those travel mugs. I can't seem to taste coffee when it's in a plastic container. There are metal travel mugs with plastic inserts which also suck. My travel mug is all metal. Don't know if they even make them any more.
I often wonder if the number of gay men we are now dealing with is a result of the amount of estrogen in the water supply.
On a personal note: I cannot stand the taste of tap water anymore. It leaves a metallic taste in my mouth for a long time after I drink it.
On the rare occasion I make a pot of pasta; as I stand by the sink filling a large pot with tap water, I can smell the chemicals in that water. I feel like I am cooking my pasta in water from a swimming pool. Yuck.
We have a good well. No chemicals uphill.
Monk! Just watched all 8 seasons Sept-Dec last year.
Such a great character.
