I'm afraid you are absolutely wrong. Bottled water does not contain
chlorine or fluoride, both highly toxic chemicals, nor does it contain
the numerous additional toxic reaction products these two toxins produce
when they contact the decades of sludge in every municipal water system.
Bottled water is absolutely safer than municipal tap water in every
scientifically provable way.
