In this article it will be shown to you how difficult it is to name a “best”.

According to many studies in the US and in other countries, American people drink around 25 gallons of bottled water each year on average. The year 2006 witnessed Americans spending around $11 billion in bottled water to quench their thirst.American people drink water in same quantity as combined beers. This continues growth has economist predicting that in a very few years, more bottled water could be using than municipal water by American people.

However we all know that we should drink more water for a healthy lifestyle, it becomes a hard choice to decide which one is the best. With so many brands of bottled water on the grocery shelves, which is considered best?  There are pros and cons for almost all water.

Tap water is the least expensive and available with just a turn of the faucet.Most municipal water plants add fluoride which protects decay in teeth and chlorine to purify it.Many of the people prefer other type of water because they believe that added fluoride and chlorine is not a healthy addition to water.

However bottled water is convenient to carry around, but the reality is that they are not regulated and similar to tap water.”Spring water” is same in quality as bottled water.“Purified water” is bottled water with no minerals, therefore it may taste better, it is not better for ones health. And “distilled water” is the same as “purified water” as both are just water in which a process was used to take all the minerals out.

Mineral water is bottled water that must include below 250 per million minerals in the water.According to the opinion of some people, minerals are useful for our health while others believe that it harms our health. Many people may accept because of the better taste, it must be better however it hasn’t been proved.

Sparkling bottled water is just water that has been treated and has naturally, or added to it, carbon dioxide to add a fizz and bubbles.Club water and selzer can not be called sparkling waters. Soft drinks contais sugar as well as salt too. Adding flavour to a gaseous bottled water makes a person drink it more however it is not healthier too.  A large assortment of calorie free flavors to flavor sparkling water to great taste is sold at http://allfreightfree.com
Water from an artesian well is bottled water from a well underground layers of rock or sand hence is filtered naturally.

Therefore, there are differences in water.  Most buyers of bottled water are probably consuming Coke or Pepsi brands because of the name but they are just highly purified tap water.

The second issue might be useful in concluding – what the word ‘best’ means. That word can mean different things to different people.Many of us believe that tasty water is healthier for us.

So we come to the end of this article, not defining what the best bottled wateris.That is perhaps defined well by an individual’s taste buds and as for health – all water is standardized in some ways by some agencies, so it is undoubtedly that any one bottled water is healthier than another.Since that is just this writer’s opinion and I believe that the manufacturer companies of bottled water would have different opinion.
