Water Conundrum: Bottled or Tap?

The average human body is made of 50-60% water. We have to drink a lot of it. About 8-10 glasses of water a day, in forms of milk and juice too. That's about 64 fluid ounces, so we don't dehydrate. Too much water is bad too.

In light of an article in a recent san francisco chronicle,How water bottlers tap into all sorts of sources, remember all that label reading you do when you go to the grocery store? you know how you check for fat,transfat, and calories per serving? please check the source of the water on that water you get. you might just have purified drinking water from a municipal (read, tap water) reservoir. take that alhambra. lol. or a mountain spring in napa. or the aquifer in fiji.

and a word of advice, if you have a bottle of water in your car and it's been sitting there or you took a sip of it and reclosed it and forgot about it....don't drink it. you might get sick from the microbes in the water.
