I grew up drinking our tap water but we live in the boonies, and have a huge purifying system (that I helped install). I am a picky water drinker. I hate Dasani(sp?) and most restaurant water just tastes bad. (the fluoride probably)
But I still managed to drink my 60oz plus some.. It’s my drink of choice

*gag* I wish I could say the same and I’m north of Nashville in TN. Mine tastes nasty.

Interesting you posted this – I took my two young daughters to the dentist yesterday and he said they’ve noted a rise in tooth decay the last two years. They are pretty sure that it is from the increase in drinking bottled water over tap water. Tap water includes fluoride which is not in most bottled water I guess. He also mentioned that some water filters remove the fluoride from water. We have only used tap water – but this affirms our decision!

We NEVER drink bottled water at our house. We’re blessed to live in Memphis, which has THE best tasting water around. Seriously, we’ve won awards for our tap water that comes from artesian wells.

I’m very interested in this subject. Do you have any articles or specific studies that I could read?

Thank you so much for this. We are in the process of giving up bottled water (mostly due to the BPA stuff), and this is such encouraging information.
