Water The Best Drink on the Planet

I believe even on this point there would be much debate, because as we all know while water is good for the body the water we chose to drink is not always good. What does that mean well consider for a minute the many sources of water we have today. Yes here we are with hundreds of choices of a basic thing we all require and need. The list of sources continue to grow as we re-name and re-market what use to primary come out of the tap, a well,  a stream, a river or a fountain. The types of water are so varied now that when you ask for water you need to be very specific. Why is this important? Well think about the choices you make everyday about the water you drink be it distilled, tap, bottled, favored, filtered, unfiltered, cold, warm, with ice or without and this is just the water you drink what about the water you cook with? The choices vary based on the individual based on everything from taste, to fear, to status, to availability and the list goes on. However, the basic truth is the same we all need and do drink water and if that is the case it might be wise to investigate a bit further into some of the assumptions we make about what we put in our body. It may not be an easy assessment to make because some of the assumptions we make are not based in facts. Example most would assume bottled water was better for you than say tap water. However this is truly not the case in all situations because some bottled water is unfiltered tap water...yes that’s right! The convenience of picking up a bottle of water has gone beyond what might have been the original motivation of providing a better drinking water source by processing it and bottling it for general consumption. It has gone far beyond that in that the water bottling industry if you go back to 2007 was expected to reach approximately 6 Billon dollars and globally predicted to be about $82 billion in 2011.
