Question:

Is dasani water bad for you?

Someone at my work just came to me and told me that te UK banned dasani water becuase it is bad for you. Is there any truth too this and if so what makes it bad for you because the nutrition facts says it has nothing in it???


Answers:
They recalled 500,000 bottle, they didn't ban it. Here's a news report about it.

LONDON, March 19 - Only weeks after it introduced Dasani bottled water into Britain, the Coca-Cola Company ordered a recall of some 500,000 bottles on Friday after finding excess levels of bromate. The chemical, with long-term exposure, has been linked to a higher risk of cancer. Continued at http://www.mindfully.org/water/2004/coke...

No, it's perfectly safe. Not banned. I saw some at the grocery store this morning.

There have been bottled water recalls, for impurities, but I don't know of one for Dasani.

I would not worry the least about it. I'd suggest getting a filter on your kitchen plumbing to filter just your drinking water and use that. See if you can really tell the taste difference.

yes

no its perfectly safe
