When water freezes is forces out anything that is dissolved in it, which why as a popsicle melts it turns white at the top. In the case of your spring water it is the naturally occurring minerals that are normal, healthy and make it taste good.

I read an email once that talked about toxic dioxins in water bottles and plastic containers people normally use to heat up food in. It said not to freeze water bottles because it can cause cancer. It was from a doctor but I've never noticed anything white floating. I just make sure I don't freeze my water bottles any more. Here is the letter
Subject: Plastic and Cancer News from Johns Hopkins
No plastics in micro
No water bottles in freezer..
No plastic wrap in micro

Subject: Plastic and Cancer news from Johns Hopkins
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in their newsletters worth noting...
This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer, especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases dioxin in the plastic.
Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle hospital was on a TV program explaining this health hazard. (He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.)
He was talking about dioxin and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Dioxin are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our bodies.
Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc.
He said we might remember when some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
To add to this, Saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked, with the high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food, use paper towels.
Pass this on to your family & friends & those that are important in you life.
