Bottled Life - The Truth about Nestlé's Business with Water

[clifford_-]

i always drunk tap water when i went abroad, in hindsight, i should of drunk bottled water. fuck having the shits to that extreme.

[AxeD]

Meh, the tapwater in my city does taste like crap. As does the best sold water in the Netherlands however (Spa, it's truly fucking disgusting). I still drink the tapwater here because I don't wanna spend all that ridiculous cash on bottled water, but purely taste wise, it can make sense to buy bottled water. 'High end' water is bullshit, though.

Komt toch pils uit de kraan in Enschede?

Deer Park all day. Nestle water tastes like dishwater btw.

Yep, Grolsch. x: Uggh, nee dankje.

Nope, the minerals in it do. And a bad combination of minerals will end up tasting like shit.

Hah, it's brewed in my city and I actually worked at the brewery. I'm really not a fan.

I see, when you drink water from the ocean, you can't taste this one mineral called salt that is in it. Most people can, btw.

It's funny that beer was brought up, because it's the same concept. It's merely water with stuff in it. You can taste the stuff.

But whatever, go ahead and try to sound smart and fail miserably.

I`m a Heineken fan personally

grolsch bottles look cool though

i 've heard that the hormones in the birthcontrol pill are getting in the water (via peepee) and the process in the sewage treatment plant isn't able to filter it out. this surely applies to other pharmaceuticals aswell. i'm no hypochondriac but maybe someone has a reliable source on that.

[Genevieve]

Don't all hormones we pee out get into the water?

Boil the water before you drink it, then stick it in the fridge. That solves all problems.

It`s rather hot in Thailand, the last thing I wanted to do was boil the water and wait for it to cool.

The water purification system was never designed to filter out hormones so all the synthetic oestrogen and progesterone in The Pill keep going round and round (they also hemaphrodise fish which we then eat)... same for plastics, they release xeno-oestrogen which is more powerful than normal, biologically orginating oestrogen and are probably a prime cause of cancer but are not filtered.

There's also a fuck load of drugs in there!

That's what fridges and freezers are for! Anyway, just boil enough the night/day before.
