Panorama-Bottled water 8.30 BBC1

[Newspeak International]

A hit piece on BW and how we are wasting energy,money and increasing our carbon footprint by buying the stuff.

Best drink the flouridated tap water just in case!

[Linda]

stick the flouridated tap water where the sun don't shine.

I always buy bottled water every week and will continue to do so.

Fluoride was used by both the Germans & the Russians to make their prisoners docile ... it is still used in the jails of some States in the US. In addition, Fluoride affects the Pineal Gland. See link for more info: HERE

Here's the rather different BBC version

What exactly is wrong with Flouride in drinking water? It keeps the dentist away, big deal.

Sodium Fluoride is a toxic byproduct of the aluminium industry, stroke of genius getting rid of it by putting in the water supply

Personally, i have just invested in one of these.

I drink a bottle of water a day, so it should pay for itself in 12 months,

I thought about the bottled water thing some time ago, and it is a pretty wierd idea to put a naturally occurring liquid in a bottle and transport it, when there are systems which will render the local supply harmless. Personally i'm more concerned about the levels of oestrogen in the water as our supply is not yet fluoridated.

Filtering tap water should not be looked at as a flouride remover alone - tap water contains a range of nasty stuff;

Chlorine
Pesticides
Fertilizers
Heavy metals
Petrochemicals
Dioxins
Radioactive Materials (e.g. radium)
Microorganisms (bacteria/fungi/parasites)

Add to this, many homes contain old pipework that add to the mix other than what is already in the mains water supply.

I purchased a domestic reverse osmosis filter system which is as pure as it is possible to make it without going silly on the price. Serviced annually, it is the only sensible option if you are concerned with water quality.

Yup, that's why i posted a link to a domestic reverse osmosis unit!

Forgive me, please, if I sound a little paranoid. But.

Our superbly qualified Health Secretary announces millions to fund a mass medication programme to add poisonous hexafluorosilicic acid to our water supply so that all of us, dentally challenged or not, will have the benefit of swallowing toxic waste from the aluminium industry and, at the same time a campaign is launched in the media to dissuade us from drinking bottled water?

Surely a coincidence?
