When I buy water from a grocery store (I don't have a water filter at home), I usually buy the cheapest cartons of spring water on the shelf. But this week, I bought a couple of liters of Evian water. Well, the difference in drinking-experience of Evian water vs. my usual cheap generic spring water was fairly amazing. Often, I find that plain water doesn't feel all that comfortable going down my esophagus - it even upsets my stomach a little sometimes (although not as often as it produces that uncomfortable feeling in my esophagus). Ironically, I find that adding some juice to this "uncomfortable" water makes it a much more comfortable and "smoother" drinking experience. That's why I end up drinking diluted fruit juice quite often - instead of plain water.
Well, the Evian water felt very smooth going down - it felt physically good to drink it. I was very content not adding any fruit juice to it.
Recently, I did some pH tests on the cheap spring waters that I typically drink. The cheap spring water that Walmart sells seemed to have a pH greater than 7, maybe even close to 8 (it's hard to tell the EXACT pH using this test - the color changes aren't super-distinguishable. The test just good for giving a "ballpark estimate".). The spring water I buy from Ingles had a more acidic pH - somewhere between 6 and 7. Guess what? The Ingles spring water is easier to drink plain than the Walmart spring water - it's a more comfortable drink. So this led me to conclude that - while Alkaline Water is supposedly "healthier" - consuming water that is slightly on the acidic side makes for a more comfortable drinking experience.
(I wonder if it's actually something else about these waters that influences their "drinkability" - maybe I should test for chlorine in the Walmart water, lol.)
Well - I tested the pH of the Evian water - and it's pH was greater than 7 (I'm not sure if it is quite as alkaline as the Walmart water though.). But something about it makes it much "smoother-feeling" than either the Walmart or the Ingles water. I wonder what it is? Is it somehow more "structured" than other kinds of spring water? Is it some specific mineral (or combination of minerals?)?
Man - I wish I could afford to drink Evian water all the time!

This is a reply to # 1,278,976I figured there would be more people around to tell you this, but...
Spell Evian backwards. If you think that was a mistake, or that it was simply a coincidence, send that water with its plastic bottle into a lab for analysis. There used to be a collection of certificates of analysis on the net that you could refer to for specific brands and sources, but I haven't been able to find it lately. Might try torrent or one of those stingy download sites.
In a nutshell, Evian is collected from multiple "ok" sources. They force the pH to be agreeable after filtering it lightly with dirty, old equipment and, according to my memory, boiling it for a split second. Once they're done and ready to package it, they pump it through even more dirty equipment and send it flying into a bottle made of recycled trash -- the cheapest they can find. And boom. Slap a label on it and it's natural purified spring-aqua-crystaline-beauty water that helps the planet heal.
Most bottled waters are the same. You're not getting any special treatment by buying the more expensive stuff, usually. I can think of only a couple different bottled/bagged waters that taste healthy.
Invest in a purification method if you decide you have to live in a city. Otherwise, leave the city. Bad food can be tolerated to an extent by the body. Bad water penetrates and poisons.
Oh, and if you really can't do either of those things, at least buy some ionic minerals. You can get some cheaper spring water and boil it in a pot for 5 minutes (that means leaving it at a rolling boil for that exact amount of time or more), then let cool and remineralize the whole batch with a couple drops. It'll still be dirty water, but at least you'll be getting the tools you need to protect against toxic substances. Throw it all into a large glass pitcher and you have enough for a day, maybe two.
