*All* commercial bottled water is purer than tap water. There is no
bottled water that has toxic Chlorine and fluoride added to it.

Bottled "drinking" water such as the Aquafina and Dasani brands are
Reverse Osmosis filtered and substantially purer than tap water.

Bottled "Spring" waters will have more trace minerals and whatnot in
them based on their source spring, but again they do not have toxic
additives like Chlorine and Fluoride added to them.

There are *no* bottled waters that are simply tap water, as bottled tap
water would have a shelf life measured in days, not years like the pure
bottled waters have.

The only truth in anything that the anti bottled water fad dimwits say
is that federal standards for bottled water are not stringent. This in
no way means that the industry standards for bottled waters are not
stringent.
