I would drink tap water yet i live in new mexico and the tap really isnt safe to drink lol

Answer 1

Aquafina is not bad for you. Depending on how active you are you will need to drink at least 64oz of water throughout the day. If you drink too much of ANY water it can be dangerous. If you drink too much water your blood will become too highly concentrated with water and your red blood cells will burst causing you too drown yourself from the inside out. However, in order to do this you would have to drink more than a gallon at a time in a short period of time.

I think it is fine. Read this article.


Bottled Water --- The Right Choice ?

Bottled water has become one of the largest industries in the world. Over half of all Americans drink bottled water, spending 240-10,000 times more per gallon for bottled water than they do for tap water, a trend largely fueled by the misconception that bottled water is safer or healthier than tap water.


Is bottled water really the best way to get healthy, great tasting water?
How do you know about the quality of the water your buying?
Is the cost worth it?
Controversial reports from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in Washington, DC, and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Gland, Switzerland, say no. Even the Federal agency that regulates bottled water quality, the FDA, says no! "Companies who market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public." U.S. FDA


The best alternative to tap water is in-home water filtration. With an in-home water filter you can have better than bottled water quality... at the touch of a button... for under 10¢ a gallon.


It has also become a target of the environmental community due to the massive amounts of plastic bottles being disposed of from bottled water use.


Bottled water is now a multi-billion dollar business, the fastest growing and most profitable segment of the entire beverage industry. If you currently buy bottled water, chances are it's because you prefer the taste and trust the quality over tap water, but do you really know what is or is not in bottled water?


BottledWaterBlues.Com was created to encourage awareness of some very important issues, primarily the purity of our water and the best place to get it. Why pay so much and get so little?


When it comes to something as important as our water, which makes up over 70% of our body and ultimately determines our health more than anything else, knowing the facts is essential.

Indoor plumbing was one of the greatest lifestyle enhancements in history. We once had to leave our house, transport and store water. Then, we progressed to indoor plumbing and had a continuous supply of water at our fingertips. Now, we are regressing... people are once again transporting and storing water. Instead of walking to the well, we are driving to the store or having water driven to us. Bottled water simply doesn't make sense, don't let high priced ad campaignes make you think that it does. Once you know the truth, we hope you'll join the millions of informed consumers who are "Just saying no" to bottled water!

Home Water Filtration vs. bottled water... it's better quality, a much better value, far more convenient... and it's better for the environment!

Aquafina is a bottled water just like Sparkletts or any of the others. The brand doesn't matter. Drinking water is good for you, and there's nothing wrong with Aquafina.

Answer 7

No. Aquafina is one of the best. dasani is bad for you. Dasani is filtered through a benzine filter. Benzine is water soluable and therefore is in the water. The benzine stores in your brain and can cause alzeimers (sp?) disease.

Stick with the Aquafina. I've been drinking it for years.

Answer 8

I would drink nothing but Aquafina or Dasani. Aquafina and Dasani are made in a factory while other bottled waters come from the wild and have salmon spawn in it. ewwwwwwww

Answer 9

if there is something in it, then maybe. but aquafina is known to be "just water" .. maybe the new flavored carbonated waters might be if you drink a lot, b/c i know if i drink a lot of carbonated stuff my stomach goes crazy..

Answer 10

i do know dasani adds sodium and minerals, aquafina is just water. Fiji water tastes best and is purer but much more expencive
