I was having a wash earlier and the smell of the water reminded me of my chemistry set when i was a kid. So i thought i'd a have a google and was a bit taken aback after reading through the chemicals and possible side effects. lol

Chemicals in Drinking Water - Pollution Issues


All the mineral water brigade must have read the article

Sounds like an overdose of Chlorine?

I wonder how well they regulate the addition of such chemicals? (think they're over doing ot down my way)

If we believed everything we read from the health-nut lobby we'd all be as miserable as they are. People need to stop worrying and start living.

I've been drinking tap water for over 60 years and I'm still as as the day I was born.

There's a lot more regulation for tap water than there is for bottled water of any sorts.

I'd take filtered tap water over bottled water anytime, even the plastic bottles are made with toxic materials.

I read somewhere not so long ago that the dental association have warned against your 5 a day..

So i can't drink water because of chemicals, beer or spirits because they lead to liver and kidney problems but beer quells heart disease, I can't smoke, I cant do too much exercise because apparently it may now kill me but i should exercise to keep healthy. I can't eat too much red meat...i shouldn't eat chocolate but apparently it full of antioxidants....so i should....

Coffee....good and bad, red wine...

I should find a corner not do anything but I guess that would be bad for me too.

Corners are VERY dangerous as they can be cut, you can get trapped in them and you can't see around them. If you MUST occupy a corner then let a responsible person know where you are and what time you expect to be back. The corner should be well lit and ventilated...
