This topic may have been covered before but i am so confused about what water i should be drinking. I have heard mineral water is the best one to drink but how and where from? Then i am told plastic bottles aren't good either due to the xenoestrogens. And, lastly i have learned that carbon filters leach aluminum of which my whole family have high levels. I have also read that reverse osmosis machines create dead water that don't hydrate the body. I am so confused! At the moment i have been filling BPA free bottles up from reverse osmosis machine until i work out what i should be drinking. I figure it has to be a little better than the tap water in my area. I also have an aquasana filter on our shower that i know doesn't filter everything but at least filters some things. My goal is to not make myself paranoid. haha! But with that being said water is one of those things that is essential.
