Do you believe in bottled water?

Question

Or is that just another religion.

You guys are so funny. Thanks for stopping at my silly question to share your thoughts.

Answer 1

John7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, ‘Give me a drink’. 8(His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) 9The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?’ (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.)* 10Jesus answered her, ‘If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, “Give me a drink”, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.’ 11The woman said to him, ‘Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?’ 13Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’

Answer 2

Bottled water in the USA is almost exactly as safe as tap water in the USA.

It's generally a spectacular waste of money unless you live where there is no reliable potable water.

On the other hand, I believe in DISTILLED water because it has no germs (so you can steam it and get it into your lungs without worrying about infection). It has virtually no trace minerals, so you can use it to rinse and clean even laboratory equipment safely. It makes great ice cubes. It also changes the way you "taste" water and you yourself become good at determining the cleanliness and taste of water.

The only problem with distilled water is that if you use it exclusively for a very long period, some minerals may leech out of your body, so a vitiman and mineral supplement may be advisable.

Answer 3

I have a case of it right here. Although, I wonder about how the business is affecting the ecosystem. I also worry about water being taken from a source that is depended on by an indigent population, and shipped away and sold to a wealthier population. But apparently not enough to stop drinking it. Now that you've brought it up maybe I'll research those issues.

Answer 4

Dont you watch 20/20 or 60 minutes? The stories they have done on bottle water show bottle water is no pure or safe than regular tap water. In some instances bottle water was more contaminated.

Answer 5

I wish I would have been the one to think up bottled water. It is really just tap water (I know for a fact Dasani comes from the Ft. Lauderdale Municipal water supply). It costs about $0.33 to bottle and package and sells for $1.29.

I bet the guy who first came up with that laughs all the way to bank each month!

Answer 6

Believe in it? I guess considering I've seen it before... JK I love poland Spring water and I can tell it from any other water. But I still drink tap water most of the time. Any bottle of water that costs over $1 is useless to me.

Answer 7

Yes, I believe it exists.

What's your real question? Is it healthier than tap water? That depends on the brand of bottled water, and the source of the tap water to which you are comparing it. Many brands of bottled water are just bottled tap water, and actually have less regulation than tap water. Then again, tap water supplies can be temporarily impacted by toxic spills, etc. and are probably less consistent.

Answer 8

I went to a naturopath who wanted samples of my pure tap water, and my water after it went through a filter. I didn't have a filter, so I took a sample of bottled water. He said both tested bad, and implied that the bottled water was even worse than the pure tap water. This confused him, since I hadn't told him one was bottled water.

Answer 9

I believe that bottled water exists because I had some this week. What is not to believe?

Answer 10

I believe the water is bottled but not from a mountain spring.

Answer 11

Yes bottled water may qualify just like reading fictional novels all the time.

Those who believe in God and live rightly are saved. Without belief in God, living rightly is done for self.
