Is it any better to drink bottled water as oppossed to drinking water from a faucet?!


Question: It really depends where you live. If you're a big water drinker i'd suggest getting a britta water filter or something like that. This gives you the same quality and nutrients as bottled water, since most bottled water states pretty clearly its tap water just filtered :)

Try to avoid distilled water, because then you lose the flouride which is very good for your teeth. Ive heard thats why English peoples teeth are bad, because no flouride in the water.

bottled water is not bad for you

But the water from a tap has chlorine and flourine mixed into it so it is good for your teeth and a clean mouth

Not much difference. You are just wasting your money buying water. Get a filter for your faucet and you will have the equivalent of bottled water.

i prefer bottled water, i travel a lot, so i drink bottled water to get the same everytime

depends on if it's filtered or not. if u don't have a filter then go w/ the bottled stuff.
if u do have a filter then they're comparable.

I believe so and I don't know why they would call faucet water "drinking water."

Bottled water is not nearly as safe as you might think. Google PCBs and you will see what I mean.

Tap water is usually safe if you are using a Brita filter and a UV light source.

Between the two, it's better to drink tap. Tap is held to higher standards than bottled, which often isn't filtered properly. Besides the fact that the plastics of the bottle get into the water.

I'd like to second the idea of using a filter an UV light source. That's what I do, and it is way more pure than either of the options you give.
