Yep - water costs the same as soda and three times as much as the gas.

Some brands like PepsiCo’s Aquafina are made from filtered tap water.

 

 

So critics are asking: Why drink bottled water?

After all, it’s pricey. Packaging and shipping water consumes energy and contributes to global warming. Empty bottles add to litter and solid waste. And, as a rule, bottled water is no safer or healthier than the H2O that flows from municipal water systems.

What’s more, blind taste tests, while wholly unscientific, often show that few people can distinguish between bottled and tap water.

No wonder environmentalists, shareholder activists and church groups are targeting Coca-Cola (Charts, Fortune 500), PepsiCo (Charts, Fortune 500) and Nestle (Charts), the leading sellers of bottled water. Some examples: Read full article

Juan’s comment:

A great way to make a difference and correct the situation is to use an ionized alkaline producing water filter. The very best water ionizer is the Leveluk SD501 by Enagic. Take a look at the online SD501 brochure here.

The benefits of drinking ionized alkaline water are numerous, starting with the many benefits to your body. The other very important factor is the impact on the environment. I believe that it’s time that everyone start to think about what they are putting in their bodies, where they are putting their money and think about the planet we live on and how to help the planet heal. Every time that we do our part it’s a step in the right direction. By using a counter-top water ionizer we not only get the best hydrating water for our bodies we also reduce the use of plastic and we save money. Yes, you will actually save a lot of money in the long run by owning a Kangen water device.

BOTTLED WATER CONTAMINATION: AN OVERVIEW OF NRDC’S AND OTHERS’ SURVEYS

13 12 2007

Setting aside the question of whether bottled water is as pure as advertised, is the public’s view that bottled water is safer than tap water correct? Certainly the aggressive marketing by the bottled water industry would lead us to believe so.

NRDC undertook a four-year, detailed investigation to evaluate the quality of bottled water. We reviewed published and unpublished literature and data sources, wrote to and interviewed by phone all 50 states asking for any surveys of bottled water quality they have conducted or were aware of, and interviewed experts from FDA. In addition, through three leading independent laboratories, we conducted “snapshot” testing of more than 1,000 bottles of water sold under 103 brand names.

What NRDC has found is in some cases reassuring and in others genuinely troubling. Read full article here

Early Death Comes From Drinking Distilled Water

12 12 2007

Fasting using distilled water can be dangerous 189795_glass_2_filling_with_water.jpg because of the rapid loss of electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and trace minerals like magnesium, deficiencies of which can cause heart beat irregularities and high blood pressure. Cooking foods in distilled water pulls the minerals out of them and lowers their nutrient value.

Distilled water is an active absorber and when it comes into contact with air, it absorbs carbon dioxide, making it acidic. The more distilled water a person drinks, the higher the body acidity becomes.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “Distilled water, being essentially mineral-free, is very aggressive, in that it tends to dissolve substances with which it is in contact. Notably, carbon dioxide from the air is rapidly absorbed, making the water acidic and even more aggressive. Many metals are dissolved by distilled water.”

The Difference — Why Kangen Beats the Rest.

30 11 2007

To whom it may concern: Could you SPECIFICALLY tell me what are the distinct differences between Enagic and Jupiter Orion machine…In comparing price, I notice there was a BIG difference. However, in my experience cheaper is not always better. With that said, I would like to know what sets the Enagic machine apart, besides price! If and when responding, please quantify your response (ie, ORP levels, PH levels etc) or explain the material used to construct your machine Vs Jupiter’s Orion (the latest Jupiter machine).
I’m in the process of making a decision to purchase.
Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Audrey

Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs

Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents — everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water — against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study found that soap and water did the best job of removing germs. Just 10 seconds of washing soap and water was enough to knock off more than 90 percent of microbes.
