What's the difference ? They all have the Maximum amount of Fluoride allowed. It is not as good for you as they promote. And it's all in your tooth paste.

Isn't is amazing.....we used to drink tap water and now we have been sold on the idea we need bottled water and pay $3 for a bottle.

Just like we have been sold that a cup of coffee should cost $5......

Boy are we stupid....

Lately I’ve been feeling like bottled water is full of toxins. Are used to like arrowhead I’m not sure what to drink nowadays. I kind of like Gatorade and other drinks that are flavored because I feel like it’s hard to find the right water who knows what’s best?

Put one of these in and you will be happy. Clear, clean water. I use it for my espresso machine and kettle and I have like zero buildup after a year of boiling water.

Environmental groups bringing suit against Nestle.

While I have a healthy distrust for corporate greed, I trust that greed more than I trust the dishonest and corrupt environmental groups.

Unless you live in Flint Michigan your tap water is probably safer than drinking bottled water.

There are several popular bottled waters that are high in arsenic. There have been write-ups about how when you drink bottled water you are ingesting pieces of plastic.

Gatorade and Powerade are both designed to replace the electrolytes you lose via persperation during heavy sports activity like, Basketball, Football, etc. The principal electrolytes being replaced are salt and pottassium along with a healthy dose of sugar or artifical sweeterner if you are drinking the diet version. The bottom line is they are not a good thing to drink in place of just plain water unless you are very physically active during the day.

Orange County injects treated sewage into the ground water table to create more water. Well water is what comes out of the taps. So if you like **** and **** in your glass of water, then by all means pour yourself a tall glass! No filter I know of will turn water into wine, or sewage into drinking water.

If you think water is bad you probably should avoid breathing.

Don't go to the ocean.

Avoid stepping in lakes, streams or rivers.

Don't eat fish; especially not river fish.

If you are really freakin' paranoid then buy RO water and have it pass through a three stage filter.

If you are super paranoid then buy some tanks of Hydrogen and Oxygen and have the reaction condense into a sterile steel container.

Most of us living in Southern California have copper, galvanized or PEX. It'd be odd to see any lead piping around except in some old homes? (I dunno, any plumbers around in the blogs?)

If you really want to freak out, there's thousands of tons of DDT in the ocean off Catalina. Hmmm rain cycle...a little DDT... MmmMMmm fresh organic veggies. Locally sourced stuff is great as SoCal has lots of arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury ore surface deposits.

Or just get a water filter and have the water that passes through the filter tested.
Meh.

Congress didn't outlaw use of lead pipes till 1986
Likewise, up till then, lead was permitted in solder joining the pipes together.

I like Crystal Geyser. Sad thing is most of these companies brand it to be fresh water from the mountains, but really it’s just purified water. They take our normal drinking water, strip all of tge elemenrs out of it to purify it and they add elements back in for taste, so basically we are over paying for a cheap plastic bottle

Two rip offs: bottled water and paid parking.
We all need water and we used to drink tap water.
Many years ago, there used to be plenty of free parking.
Now most major cities in CA have paid parking and parking

In San Diego we have the Pure Water Project underway. Also referred to as "Toilet-to-Tap", those who choose to drink from their faucets will be drinking the purified waste of their neighbors. But there is no getting around it. We will all be bathing in the purified waste of the people we hate the most. White supremacists will be showering in the purified piss of Jews and African Americans. Trump fans in the pee of liberals. Democrats in the waste of Trump fans. The list goes on.
I'm curious. Urine has DNA in it. Not as much as blood, but it's there. Will the purification process remove that DNA or is it possible a tiny little bit could get by? Does the possibility of DNA transfer from drinking or bathing in this fluid exist?
I'm hoping this brings the people of San Diego together. You can't get much closer than drinking and bathing in each others waste. There will be no strangers. We will all be a part of each other. Whether you like it or not.

I think the "toilet to tap" thing is a little overblown.

1) Astronauts on the ISS regularly drink and use water that is "recycled." This water is way more pure than anything you would get out of bottled water or city taps.

2) In San Diego, they have a similar Reverse Osmosis plant that filters waste water but it is not directly used for consumption. They pump it back into the open reservoirs. So essentially, they are taking ultra-pure RO water and putting it into a reservoir that includes bird shit, fish shit, and decomposing flora and fauna, only to go through the "regular" filtration process that ultimately ends up in our taps.

3) The public simply isn't able to cope with the concept of recycled waste water - yet. But wait until 2050 when water has become the new oil (a valued commodity) and those fears and biases will disappear.

We are always resistant to radical change and these are the early stages of protesting against this new concept, and given time it will become manifest. The generation born today will be looking back on those of us now and wondering what the hell we were thinking in resisting these changes.

Showers were once thought to be "unclean" even though their ancestors didn't have a problem with standing under a waterfall to rinse off.

It's all in the mind!

We don't need a high speed rail. But 35 water desalination plants would solve California's residential water woes 100%. Then the balance of the state water can be used for irrigation of crops, and other uses.

Do we get desal plants? Nope, because the contractors and landowners are already invested in this high speed rail. The need to steal our money on that project before they move on to fleecing us all in the water business.

EXPOSED: MASSIVE FLUORIDE BREAKTHROUGH!

Study Links Eugenics Experiment With Low IQ & Death

MASSIVE FLUORIDE BREAKTHROUGH!

I have been saying this for years and since then I never use Fluoridated Tooth paste.
The tap water here is set at maximum allowed at .9 , I think parts per million ?
And I'm pretty sure most if not all bottled water has Fluoride in it too.

As of this post I have yet to find a filtration system that will remove Fluoride.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the 8 year study just released proving what so many so-called "conspiracy theorists" have been saying for decades to be true. Fluoride (hydrofluosilicic acid) which is the bi-product of aluminum and phosphate smelting has been put in the tap water of countless western cities since 1945. The goal was to "stop cavities" and disease. The reality is, it has caused an insurmountable level of cancer, alzheimer's and death due to its toxic compounds. Quite literally, it is considered toxic waste. We have done cease and desists on the city of Winnipeg over 11 years ago for this reason and have been rallying in the streets for over a decade. The cease and desists did not work. Now, a study has been released by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) showing that both adults and children face a vastly lowered IQ when they regularly drink tap water with fluoride in it. This is something we've been warning about for a very long time and now it's acknowledged. 72 studies were reviewed by the NTP. The NTP is a unit of the Department Of Health and Human Services. On top of the issue of IQ, the report shows that there is also a correlation with fluoride having neurodevelopmental and cognitive effects in children. We recently spoke with Derrick Broze of The Conscious Resistance Network which you can find on our channel from 6 months ago regarding a massive lawsuit in San Francisco over fluoride. There certainly appears to be a mass awakening happening due to many more people asking questions about eugenics following the release of the deadly injections. Currently, 14,000 Britons are demanding compensation for vaccine injuries. Alas, despite all of this, the eugenics experiments on the public continue to ramp up. Will there be justice? How are all of you resisting it?
