Water in a Bottle - How Safe? How Smart?

http://whyfiles.org/177bottle_water/index.html

From the always interesting and often provocative features of the
"Why Files" comes a new presentation on the current trend of
bottled water consumption. 

"Bottled water is pure, refreshing, life-giving. Bottlers say
their stuff is better than love or money. But is bottled water
absolutely safe? Should you be drinking 8 cups a day? Can you
overdose?" - from the website

The site examines studies undertaken to test for microbial and
chemical contamination in bottled water and compares the safety
of such products with ordinary and regulated tap water. The
little known condition of hyponatremia -- loss of sodium in the
blood -- is also discussed.  Revelations surrounding the
scientific basis and controversy of the long-standing "8 servings
of 8 ounces per day" guideline for daily water consumption makes
for fascinating reading as well.
