Tap water has in the past had a bad press, whereas bottled water has been hailed as the healthy alternative. Research shows this to be wayward thinking. Besides, it's nonsense to pay such exorbitant prices for water - especially in garage forecourts. Are people really so gullible? Apparently they are.
Here are two tips (and no, I don't work for any water authority or company):
First of all never re-use plastic water bottles for drinking as studies have proven that plasticisers and other constituent plastics leech into the water as the bottle slowly degrades. This may be accelerated by the use of fruit juices.
Secondly, store your own water from the tap in glass bottles in the fridge and in a cool bag in the car. If you're fussy, then buy a water jug filter to run it through first.
I see people in supermarkets all the time laden with big packs of water. Ok, they think they're doing right by their families. Not so - the motivation is good but the facts do not unanimously support bottled water as the healthy alternative.
