Ask Me Monday!: Tap water or bottled water?

" What is your opinion on drinking tap water ?Bottled water? Which one is better for me?"

This is a question that I am going to answer with out picking either option for you. Truth is it depends.

Some bottled water is merely unfiltered tap water, while other bottled water is pure spring water.

I don't suggest drinking plain unfiltered tap water. There is a lot of chlorine and other contaminants in there.

Instead, if you want water from the tap, invest in a water filter. There are many kinds. I have used the Pur faucet filter for years and it filters the water nicely. The downside is these filters don't remove fluoride from the water. You would have to get a reverse osmosis system for that. There are water pitchers that filter your water, but they don't filter as well as many faucet or under the counter systems.

I drink filtered tap water and we give baby a bottled spring water ( to avoid fluoride).

There is another great option.... You can go to a website to find a spring near you and get fresh spring water yourself!

I am not a fan of all the trash that drinking bottled water creates. We recycle Baby A's bottled water bottles, however she's a baby and only goes through one bottle of water a day ( still nursing), where as an adult would drink much more than that.

I hope this helps to answer your question.
