Question:

Would you recommend bottled, tap or purified water???


Answers:
Get a good filter, like a Brita filter or similar. Using those is much cheaper than buying bottled water, and also is better for the environment than bottles.

i really love bottled and tap, but i would rather drink bottled

Bottled water doesn't contain flourine - which is why
tooth decay is again on the increase in the United States.

Frankly, if you can't taste the difference, I would take the
tap water every time - its cheaper.

However, most people now make their water decision
based on taste.

I haven't drank Tap water in 3years and i think If i drank it now I wouldn't like it. I like Bottled.

They just released a study saying that bottled water actually has some links to cancer. The water actually absorbs some of the plastic which then is absorbed into the body. I would stick with tap-and its free.

It depends on where you live. How is the water from the tap? What does the local health authority say about the quality of the water? That should help you to decide.

Tap water.

Tap Water. Unless, your area has bad H20 specifications.
I buy the bottle water on occasion, but save the bottles and fill them with my tap. It's a good way to save money & recycle.

The expensive H20 expires also, read some labels. Most of them are a form of tap water also.

Freeze bottle tap in plasic bottles for beating the heat, and save money in ice and expensive ice packs. Zip locks do the same.

Bottled water is all hype. Seeing water in a pretty bottle gives the illusion that it's sterile, clean, and healthy. And for the most part, it is. But the big secret is that it's no cleaner than tap water! (Sometimes it IS tap water.)

With bottled water, you're not paying for better quality. You're paying for the packaging. And that packaging has a big environmental impact. A huge amount of resources are wasted in the bottling and transport of bottled water.

Tap water is regulated by the EPA, is monitored for a huge range of contaminants, and must be checked hundreds of times a month. Bottled water, on the other hand, is reulated by the FDA, which has LESS rigorous standards than the EPA. (Although, to their credit, they've been trying to update their standards to keep pace.)

Bottled water also doesn't contain fluoride, and almost all tap water does, which has been credited with helping America's overall dental hygiene. (Although if you brush your teeth twice a day, this probably isn't much of a concern.)

Unless you live in a municipality that has been demonstrated to have a substandard water supply, I recommend using tap water. If you must, buy a Brita or a Pur filter.

Deer park water baby!

bottled water is better i think, some brands even add in extra minerals and vitamins!!! =) good thing...
