Bottled water: A surprising tale of waste and greed

Approximately 30 billion bottles of bottled water are sold worldwide each year. It ranks near the top of the list of the greatest marketing scams perpetrated on the public. How is it that people were duped into paying premium prices for something that flows abundantly from the earth or at least from municipal water supplies? Is bottled water any better than tap? Who benefits, who suffers and what are the environmental consequences of this strange love affair with bottled water?

Join us today as we explore this topic. And stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health Segment.

I do not understand English, but I look forward to reading everyone's comments. I hope they also speak of distilled water. This is a subject I have some difficulties in finding sources.

We actually didn't speak about distilled water on the show. It was just about bottled and tap waters in general. This post here has more information on different types of water. What, specifically, are you trying to find out?

Thank you for the link. I read that distilled water was better for health, but I like to know what the feeling of the forum. Here is the link : http://www.biostclair.com/fr/somme.html
"Distilled water is water "rain" as nature created it, that is produced as the natural process of evaporation of water (H2O, pure water). This water is clear, odorless and tasteless. It is free from all pollutants of some kind and contains no unusable inorganic mineral for the human body.

Contrary to plants that feed on inorganic mineral soil by transforming them into organic minerals through photosynthesis, the human body can not assimilate these aqueducts of water, spring or mineral.

These minerals have then other routes than settle around the veins, arteries, intestines and kidneys (kidney stones) which sclerosis metabolism.
The water distilled by his great power of dissolution can appropriate inorganic minerals stagnating around our fabrics, so it can prevent hardening of the arteries, limestone deposits, kidney stones ... distilled water operates a real cleaning metabolism. However, it can not dislodge organic minerals closely related to our tissues ie; is the demineralization the body does not take into account the important distinction to be made between inorganic minerals that can clog our bodies and organic minerals that work within our cells.

Distilled water is excelente for digestion, it increases the rate of assimilation of food and thus normalizes appetite. She cleans the metabolism of all deposits of inorganic minerals, it hydrates the skin in depth. It's the best water you can drink. In the diet, it can be used for all meals such as soup mix, beverage, drink, coffee, etc. Distilled water enhances the flavor of your dishes and meals by its great dissolving power.

reverse osmosis water

Because water is essential to the health of man, because the water quality is degraded by pollution and chemical treatments, because tap water is full of unwanted items which are not neutral for a good shape and good health, it is essential to drink quality water, as light as possible.

Reverse osmosis is the process by which the water passes through a thin membrane, semipermeable. This membrane is permeable only to the finer molecules, ie H2O. This natural process does not store contaminants, unlike conventional filters. The process is called "reverse" because it requires a suffissante pressure to "force" the pure water to pass through the membrane. This method yielded very good results, because it must be removed from 95% to 99% of dissolved solids and 99% of microorganisms.

The reverse osmosis water is ideal. Are eliminated entirely or almost entirely, nitrates, pesticides, bacteria, viruses, microbes, asbestos, herbicides, limestone, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals and all that is dissolved. The reverse osmosis membrane provides the finest filtration; No other filter reaches that level.

The most efficient filters are limited to a filtration micron, only the reverse osmosis down well below 0.0001 micron.

This process was developed by NASA to recycle water consumed and excreted by the astronauts.

Note also that an international certification exists (NSF), which enables be assured of the best quality.

The reverse osmosis water is light and very low mineral content. She filled his role perfectly, because its purity, it helps our bodies for trade and for the evacuation of toxins. It is a completely bio available water. Reverse osmosis is also the method used for many years in hemodialysis. It is also used in all environments that require pure water (laboratory, food ...)

She's good and palatable and allows acroître quality and flavor soups, teas, coffee, vegetables, and generally anything that requires water for food and drink."

I've read arguments both for and against distilled water. Others swear by spring water. Many people drink it regularly with no ill effects. I'd say find the best and purest water you can, whether it's distilled, RO or even just tap (if that's all you can get) and drink it. You can vortex it (as in the link in my previous post) or sing to it to liven it up and give it more energy but as with all things, do the best you can.

FWIW.

Odyssey thank you for your reply.

Thanks! I heard it yesterday, I am one of those people that fell in the trap?... I remember that I used to drink tap water, but as the propaganda works, I think/though that bottle water is better, and at certain sense it is/was -do not trust much the municipality water, like 5 years ago, I said to my self, boiling it was the way we used to "purified" the water decades ago, and I did it, but the result was a purple viscose like water substance, and I doubt it so much to drink it ... I move to another place, and bought a filter, but it did not work out either, I feel ill whenever I drank from it, and nowadays I buy water ... but want to change that or have other alternatives, because it has it's weigh, I buy every two weeks the refill bucket of 19 L of water, not everytime I may have help to carry it...

I am going to find more about filters and, perhaps the colloidal silver will help too? ... there is a product I can buy in this country that works for purifying water and vegetables, its active ingredient is called "stable ionized silver", 3 drops for 1 L is more than enough it says the label, and I had been reading here and there about colloidal silver, I had read is pretty much the same, but need to read more about it, to be sure, in order to not doubt to avoid falling in the propaganda trap again ...

I was shocked to hear about the disposal areas of pet bottles, is something that it happends here too, about the garbage we -as "civilization"- need to reeducate more ourselves ... to be more conscious of what we buy thinking how we/I am going to recycle/reuse/dispose the garbage from it ... I talk today at work about the show, and since we buy the bucket of 19 of water, we are going to search about the filter, I am not that sure to use the colloidal silver at work, sometimes the water comes out with a brownish color ...

Anyways, thanks again for the "great" ?? (well, it was frustrating to them searching, knowing, talking about it and me hearing it, was building up same/similar feelings), at the end, it helped to hear about what one can do, and Zoya's Pet segment was interesting too, I do not have pets, but I am starting to like her segment!
