Tap water is generally held to more stringent standards for things such as sediment, trace minerals (including metals) and bacteria than bottled water.Jokergrin said:
The plastic bottles your storebought water comes in are super bad for the environment.
A lot of water companies cheat and supplement their springwater with tap water.
Bottled water is known to give you testicular and bowel cancer AT THE SAME TIME.
Only three of these points are true.

We have a Culligan filter on our tap. I bottled it in reclaimed glass bottles and keep it in a perfectly chilled 46-degree wine refrigerator. Perfect taste without the waste.

Filtered tap water.
Bottled water is going to ruin the environment eventually.
Hardly any of the buyers is going to recycle the bottle anyways.

I'm going to use every opportunity I get to quote Dr. Strangelove, so:Kipz said:
"Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk, ice cream? Ice cream, Mandrake? Children's ice cream!...You know when fluoridation began?...1946. 1946, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works. I first became aware of it, Mandrake, during the physical act of love...Yes, a profound sense of fatigue, a feeling of emptiness followed. Luckily I-I was able to interpret these feelings correctly. Loss of essence. I can assure you it has not recurred, Mandrake. Women, er, women sense my power, and they seek the life essence. I do not avoid women, Mandrake...but I do deny them my essence."
I was on the biggest bottle water kick ever in my life. Then one night I was really thirsty and didn't have any, so I went to the bathroom and just used my hands to cup the water. Holy shit-- the tap water here in suburban Chicago was better than most bottled water. Right up there with the well water I used to get when I lived in Michigan. Just really good water.
now i just save money and drink tap water.

Lots of doctors and dentists think water fluoridation was a bad idea, the risks outweigh the benefits

Babies should not drink tapwater, and you're supposed to call poison control if you ingest too much toothpaste. It also builds up and calcifies the pineal gland in your brain.
In addition, there are unsubstantiated claims that the Russians and Nazis put fluoride into the water supply of the concentration camps because it makes the inmates more docile.

Oh, you didn't know? Every one of those 1000+ scientists must be a crackpot/conspiracy theorist driven by a sadistic, sick agenda, rather than by honest skepticism stemming from an unbiased examination of the available scientific literature on fluoride.
This simplistic pro-fluoride bullshit sounds a lot like the conventional wisdom telling us dietary fat is evil and will clog our arteries (when the actual literature suggests something completely different).

What really prevents our teeth from decay is avoiding sugar and refined carbohydrates (hell, most starches in general) and getting enough Vitamin D (either from supplements or from actual sunlight).

I'm saying that it's completely unnecessary.
Fluoridation is a knee-jerk response to most countries' (especially America's) extremely poor diets. Fluoridation may very well aid in tooth decay, but what else does it do?
I'd opt out of it in favor of controlling the true cause of tooth decay - poor diet and lack of proper micronutrient intake. It's far more effective, with none of the possible negative side effects (and plenty of benefits).
Care to debunk these independent studies?Price Dalton said:
