Drink a litre a day and your spending \u00a3292 per year on bottled water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course you know bottled water is more expensive than tap water, but do you realise that <strong>bottled water retails at least 500 times the price of tap water?<\/strong> That&#8217;s huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The question arises: Is it also 500 times better for you?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just think how long those plastic bottles of water have had to stand in line before getting picked up by you. <br>After being bottled they get stored somewhere, then they get shipped to some other part of the country or if you&#8217;re Evian or Fuji water you even get to take a trip abroad. <br>Then they get stored some more, then they finally reach a store where they get stored some more, finally they reach the big stage, where hopefully they&#8217;ll get picked over a Fanta or a Dr.Pepper (I&#8217;m still impressed some people pay for such a drink). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"health\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Long story short a bottle of water maybe a year old, or even two years old by the time you drink it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"health\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We already talked about <a href=\"#health\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#health\">Microplastics <\/a>in the previous mini chapter and how they seep into our environment.

BPA causes cancer in rats, so do not give it to your little pet mouse, not a good idea. But stay away from it yourself, too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A study found BPA in urine of 95% of Canadians.<\/strong> Am I calling them rats? Noo! Just, you&#8217;ve got to read this study please, and give up the bottled water for bisphenol&#8217;s sake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home water distillers are a great way of staying clear of BPA and chlorine, whilst saving money. When compared to bottled water or expensive water filter cartridges, a distilled litre of water costs around 8 pence &#8211; this is 10 times less than bottled water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"health\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Is it also 10 times cleaner?

Ground or mineral water is rain which has seeped through deep layers of soil and rock, only to emerge somewhere else. Minerals and all sorts of things are dissolved in ground water (this is what we drink most of the time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There currently are 2 main factions of thought in regards to drinking water:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>One believes our bodies can assimilate minerals dissolved in water and use them for body building<\/strong>.

The immune system must work extremely hard to get rid of the &#8216;inorganic&#8217; minerals that are in ground water. For this group, demineralised (such as distilled water or reverse osmosis water) water is the obvious choice. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:36px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"environmental\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But whether or not our body can use minerals in water, is not the point<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>For me It comes down to one very simple question: <\/strong><br>&#8216;<strong>Do I want to drink tyre dust?<\/strong>&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short?
