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

American people drink around 25 gallons bottled water every year on average according to the studies done in America and other countries. Americans spent around $11 billion in bottled water in the year 2006.The consumption of different beers is same as water in America. This continues growth has economist predicting that in a very few years,  Americans could be drinking as much or more bottled water than municipal water.

Almost people know the importance of drinking water for a healthy life, but it is hard to say 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.The water, supplied by municipal water plants contains chlorine which purifies water and fluoride which protects the teeth against decay.Most of the people think that added fluoride and chloride is not a healthy combination therefore they like some different type of water for that reason.

However bottled water is convenient to carry around, but the reality is that they are not regulated and similar to tap water.You can find the properties of bottled water in to “spring water”.“Purified water” is bottled water that does not contain minerals so although it may taste better, it is not any better for the health. And “distilled water” is very much similar to “purified water” as both are just processed water.

Mineral water is bottled water that must comprise of no more than 250 per million minerals in the water.People have different thinkings about the minerals whether it is good or it is bad for 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 aren’t sparkling waters. They are called soft drinks because of the addition of sugar and salt. Carbonated bottled water is also not healthier however adding flavour to it makes a person drink more of it.  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 underground layers of rock, in which the water is filtered through the rocks and the sand.

So, 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 throw some light on – what the word ‘best’ means. That word means different things for different people.Many people judge the healthy water according to the taste.

So we come to the end of this article, not defining what the best bottled wateris.  That is probably best defined by the individual’s taste buds and as for health – all water is regulated in some way by some agency, so it is doubtful that any one bottled water is any healthier than another.Though this is just opinion of this writer and I think that the companies that produced bottled water would differ with me.
