Answers:
Tap water is fine!.=)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tap water is safer than bottled water!. Many types of bottled water are tap water, but they also contain a little bit of plastic from the bottle!. There have been more diseases produced from bottled water than tap water!. If you choose to filter it, make sure you change the filters as recommended or it is far more dangerous than straight tap water!. If the junk on the filters builds up it produces toxic water!. Bacteria can breed on the filter!.

The fluoride in tap water is good for your teeth!. It is just a tiny amount!. Tap water must be very very clean to meet national guildelines!. It is tested rigourously!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have always been told by dentists that tap water is best for your health because it contains fluoride which is good for our teeth!. Bottled water normally has had it taken out!.

The thing with bottled water, is you never actually really know what you are getting in it!. There have been some cases where the bottled water is REALLY regular ole tap water!.!. One would never know!!

Other than the cost of buying bottled water, it takes 11 litres of water to make 1 bottle, and often these bottles are not recycled and they wind up in land fill for hundreds of years before they start to break down!.

My suggestion would be this!.!.!.if the tap water seems to taste ok, I am sure it will be fine!.!.!.& in my opinion a much better option than the bottled stuff!. If you are still in doubt, put a water filter on your tap!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't think you can get a clear answer because I don't know that there is one!.!. Or at least, everything you read goes back and forth!. It's hard to know for sure!

My guess is!.!. if it tastes good, drink it!. I imagine it's just as healthy as bottled and vice versa!. Plus you're saving money not having to buy bottled and you don't have the plastic bottles to bother with!. If you do drink bottled - Always recycle!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your local water supply has to by LAW publish a paper once a year stating exactly what is in your water!.!.!.Here, it just came out last week!.!.
I called our water company a few months ago and asked if they put flouride in our water!.!.!.The lady that answered the phone said that they do NOT but there was a trace amount in the water naturally!.!.
SHE LIED ! According to the paper they just published (you can probably see it online too since you live in such a large city), they deliberately put flouride in our water !Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well if the water appears perfectly clear and it tastes good, I don't see why not!. If the water doesn't look clear I buy a Brita water filter!. If that still doesn't help, I just drink bottled water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I drink both Tap and bottled water!. To answer your question I think it has a lot to do with the water treatment!. Tap water in some areas are better than others!. If it tastes good in Dallas then go for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I personally prefer to drink bottled water because they always taste better!.

I recommend you ask people that lives around you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Tap is better, because bottled water sometimes taste fake, since it doesn't have all the minerals in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

just filter it with a brita or pur filter first!.!.!.its cheaper than bottled and you're not getting all the chlorine and crap that is in tap!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
