Bottled waters may look classy, but they don’t have to meet standards any more rigorous than your own tap water does. Many consumers spend thousands of dollars per year on expensive bottled waters, when their own tap water, put through a by-the-sink filter might provide them with better-quality water. The fact is, the current bottled-water craze, taken to excess, is mostly a mix of fashion, fiction, and very little science. Many of us operate on the all-too-human principle: "if some is good, more must be better." Beware, don’t become inadvertent victims of water intoxication!
