  • Well, I'm going to keep drinking bottled water. QQ MOAR

  • i remember when water was FREE.

  • I think you guys are losing the understanding of what this video is actually saying. It is saying that tap water is perfectly healthy for you, our bodies filter out any chemicals that are in the water in the first place. Unless you have a lot of fluoride in your water, that's another story.

  • Tap water isn't clean I've been told that all my life. I've been told that all my life. O_o

  • @masterbrice Tap water is the same as bottled water you've been brainwashed all your life. You've been brainwashed all your life. O_o

  • I love this series.  Definitely worth a look.

  • I drink bottled water during hot summer days when you almost always gets thirsty

  • I have not consumed a soft drink in 20 years. I don't drink Gatorade or fruit drinks or Arizona Ice Tea or Snapple or any thing else that comes in a bottle. I just drink water. In the 80's when I was traveling in Europe I was delighted to be able to purchase water in a bottle. When it comes to purity, bottled water is seriously more pure than any other beverage you can buy in a bottle. Stop scoffin at me and drink water and lmaybe you will ose 20 pounds.

  • Bottle water DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TESTED! No law, no test. A lot of it IS tap water with a picture of a Mountain Glacier (tm) slapped on it.

    My public water is tested 75,000 times a year and the results are posted on the internet.( Pasadena Municipal Water and Power )

  • bottled water gives me headache..... i dont know why...

  • cant change my mind bottled water still taste better

  • @darkrider7851 Even though it's often just filtered tap water something you could easily do yourself for far less money? And that bacteria above permitted levels has been found in bottled water? :)

  • Rent the documentary "Tapped". Nestle ( Dear Park, Poland Springs), Coke ( Dasani ), and Pepsi (Aquifina) have pumped water out of American municipalities during droughts. Water cooler jugs and single serving water bottles are made out of that cheap plastic that has hormone disruptors and carcinogens. 80% of those cheap toxic plastics are made for the bottled water industry. People are getting sick from making and using that plastic.

  • Search youtube for "BottledWaterMatters". It is a new youtube channel for the bottled water industry to post pro-bottled water propaganda ( fiction ) for their expensive, polluting product.

  • Aquafina and Dasani are filtered tap water at $5 a gallon. My tap water costs $0.003 a gallon. Buy a Brita pitcher for $20 and save shit loads of money.

  • 值得深思的問題!

  • we here inLT have our tap water without chlorine (at least you can't feel it) but when i went to America I couldn't drink tap water and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone, it was even unpleasant to shower with it, it's so full of Cl, when I go to any restaurant I taste it when they give you water from tap... it's just undrinkable and chlorine is poisonous, so people keep your tap water for like 24hours for Cl to evaporate but there's still some kind of other taste left in it that doesn't go away

  • Why would someone want to wash dishes with dirty water? 

  • Organic products is the same.

  • And when you guys are arguing about tap water, it really depends where you live.

  • @Hatchwork you are right. A lot of tap water is not safe to drink. For instance, I would not be able to drink the water in Mexico because I am so used to the OCD clean water here.

  • This is retarded. City water is full of metals and FLUORIDE, both of which is bad for you.

  • To be fair though bottle water actually tasted diffrenet to tap water so its not just scare tatics

  • Look how many sheep get fooled over stuff like this.. If you give the sheep an llusion of a nice voice and put lies and make it look like truth, they but it every time.. They will even get mad at the real truth when told to them.. Just read below to see examples of that.. I just wish I was there to see the sheeps face when they finally wake up.

  • Whoa, whoa, whoa.. This is the same girl talking that got debunked on another video she made. Folks, this is just some more bullshit brainwashing technique they are using. Trying to appear as the good guy when we know that they are playing both sides. If you have fluoridated tap water, It's POISON! Tap water, depending on it's water treatment facility, could have all kinds of things in it. Best thing to do is have it tested. If you want your water tested for free, just send me a message. PeAcE!

  • @kidjr27 you do realize that for the most part she is right. You're a fucking idiot the amount of flouride in drinking water is controlled and is medically necessary for public health, but hey what do I know, i'm just a biproduct of the gov't brainwashed flourinated water people. And hey who needs to meet epa standards or even federal standards for safe drinkable tap water.... oh wait thats right the local water companies.... guess who just got debunked..bitch.

  • @amiranda0013 You know, I could waste my time on you and send info to show what fluoride really does but, why should I waste my time on you when the FDA itself admits that there are no benefits for fluoride. Even dentists are warning people about it. Fluoride CAUSES tooth decay and cancer and many other things! Why don't you tell me the benefit of fluoride and where it comes from. Oh yeah, let me guess, aspartame is good too? You are an idiot!

    watch?v=jEaYyfWJcdc

  • @amiranda0013 I can see tha you believe the government bullshit even though we have proven over and over that there is a crooked leadership in charge of the world. Instead of getting all your knowledge from the tell-lie-vision, you should really try researching on your own. That way, you won't look so fucking stupid when you leave a comment. I would watch the video link I gave you before you type anything else. You don't want to lool like even a bigger idiot do you?

  • @kidjr27 You're a tool who believes conspiracy theories because your mommy lied to you and never took you to the toy store when she told you she would, and now you harbor all these insecure feelings. It's ok though because hell flouride is good for you, we even infuse it into kids vitamins; and no flouride in tap water doesnt cause cancer. So rather than trying to act like an intellectual and doing "researdch" on shit websites by asses with no credibility

  • @amiranda0013 Listen ass munch... You are an idiot that will be fooled your whole life because you are to stupid to do research... I hope you eat all the fluoride you want and then some.... Oh and for the rest of you guys, here is a link to prove who is telling the truth. I hope you will all research the credibility of the man in the video I am posting.. /watch?v=jEaYyfWJcdc

  • I boil tap water before drinking it.

  • @funglip don't, man.. that really doesn't help a shit... you're actually making your water WORSE. read about it.

    use filters instead.

  • @KISSAproductions I don't know where you got your info but boiling water does help; actually, it helps a lot. Of course I use filters too.

  • Tap water in Canada does not contain fluoride. Its far less expensive to buy a great filter than buy bottled.

  • I just use a filter in my sink. Neither one tap or bottled is healthy.

  • this sounds like "the 7x ingredient in coke is a mindcontrol device used by the aliens to kill us all" seriously even if it is true how much money would you save by drinking tap water like 500$ for a year and tap water in most cases s clean but if it's dirty you may have to go to hospital...

  • wtf

  • They don't mention the fact that tap water in the U.S., unlike much of Western Europe that uses ozone, uses chlorine, a toxic substance, and often uses fluoride, a rat poison. Best thing is to use glass bottles and refill them with purified or distilled water.

  • i get bored on all these business flights, you'd think eventually id meet a guy who wanted to join the mile high club...

  • This same lady made a video about how we only replace one tiny chip when we buy a new computer.

    My bottled water tastes better and most of all, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN FLUORIDE. You know, that stuff the government puts in your water that "Fights tooth decay." Bottom line, stick with bottled water or buy a filter

  • Tap water has minerals that are necessary for human bodies that BOTTLED water does not contain.... And for the most part, all that bottled water comes out of a tap anyway, and most of it is RECLAIMED WATER from somewhere else. It's probably worse for you than the shit out your tap.

    But you know what's even funnier. All those BRITA filters you buy, you know who owns BRITA?? CLOROX does, and you know what the main contaminate of drinking water is?? Bleach. Hmmmm, does that make any sense?

  • We all know the French thought of the idea to sell bottled water to us.

    Cuz they know were stupid as fk.

  • Bottled water still tastes better than tap water, even if it is or isn't filtered better than tap. Taste rules.

  • Yes, I can imagine that it is more expensive to make the bottle than the water itself.

  • Yea and people drink so much bottled water its become a huge problem in landfills

  • This is horrible stuff, but really beautifully presented. It's not that I don't agree with her, it's just that everybody else kinda figured it out before she did, and she's just realised and has got all excited about it

  • I still think bottled water tastes better.

  • I lived in a town where the tap water was so bad it would turn your teeth black.

  • @nicpetrykowskis im not aerican ... and i know that europe (where i live ) is not so clever either

  • Then you can drink the brownish yellow water out of my tap. There are people that don't have the best tap water and that is who they started with. The just sell to everyone because tap water stinks after it's bottled. Go ahead try it. It stinks after a little bit. That and all the ground water is contaminated with fuel additives. The additives in the tap water aren't good for you either.  Rainwater isn't even good for you anymore thanks to pollutants.

  • Those darn capitalists!!! LYNCH 'EM!!!

  • Lockerz invites everyone!

    Just private message me letting me know you want one invite. I will send it right after that, and I will also SUB you!

    Thanks :)

    If you have any doubts just check my channel for answers!

  • only in NY, tap water is delicious.

  • You're only scared if you're retarded but if I'm traveling somewhere, I'll either drink bottled water or a Coke. And Coke needs a LOT more water for the sugar that needs to be grown for it. So, I don't understand the whole bottled water argument because people will just drink something else in its place that requires more water to make.

  • It's not just fear, they probably poison it as well

  • Tap water is for showers and washing dishes in my house. It taste nasty as hell! Ozarka or even just BRITA water filter helps a lot.

  • Everytime I fuck around with assholes I get censored. Fuck you google China asshole.

  • Thats what they did with the flu vaccine !!

  • Cool, look forward to that.

  • althought I fondly agree with the idea of this movie, I must state that I live in a city in a country where the laws in force allow that the water utility company provides a water that would make sick most people in short term, and that in long term is definitively harmfull, because it's too expensive to provide better quality. I live in a desert location, thom which is also a very important aspect to have in mind: Not all people has access to water of quality.

  • i think this is talking about 1st world countries or the usa in particular if you know your tap water is bad, like you seem to, then it would be best to use your common sense and not what this video says.

  • it can't possibly be healthy for a person to eat a hamburger consisting of 10 different cows from several diverse places. someone from USA may drink water in Mexico and get sick, but at the same time, a mexican drinks it and it's just fine.

    we (usa) is already seeing a great number of health problems because of the food we eat. and it's my belief (again, not worth much) that it's because our bodies are not accustomed to the naturally occurring chemicals that our foods were exposed to.

  • it's my belief (which isn't worth much).. that people should consume that which is native to the same area which you live. e.i. drink water from local springs... or eat only meat/produce that is processed near your area. here's my reasoning..

    a cow that lives in your proximity has built similar immunities to the immediate environment as you have. there are naturally occurring chemicals that are suitable for the both of you.with produce, as well. that's why people get sick from foreign foods.

  • Sometimes I buy bottled water just for the bottle. Then I keep refilling the bottle with tap water until the bottle is junk. I never fell for that crap.

    Ha. Pay for water. Fuck you.

  • @insightnew its not good to re-use bottles cuz your body keeps getting chemicals from the PLASTIC, ecspecially the new flimsy "green" bottles, buy a metal one of some sort- use it for years....

  • @choichik1 That's true. There is always out gassing from the plastics. I do have a nice aluminum bottle I use often. But if it's not available I do refill a plastic one. I hate the idea of paying for water. Tap water never hurt me. And at least in my area it taste fine.

  • @insightnew

    no ur just cheap

  • @insightnew Don't do that too much, those bottles have a shelf life and are bad for reuse. Better off buying a nice reusable container and sticking with that.

  • @insightnew They are not meant to be reused - they can leach toxins when you do that.

  • @insightnew Bottling your own water is a good idea, but using plastic bottles isn't because the toxins in the plastic can leach into the water...

  • @insightnew

    You pay for the tap water don't you?

  • @agun17 you do but it's alot cheaper

  • You people are crazy. Water has no taste... In north America we make are water that we flush down the toilet 100% drinkable which is not needed. It was most likely bottled at the local municipal water center and guess where they get their water from... the tap. In Edmonton we get bottled water from Toronto and the other from BC. BC had little/no salt and pollutants in the water while the Toronto had small traces of both. You are more likely to buy a pop after drinkin the water that has salt

  • I beg to differ. Water does have taste. I grew up in Southern California where the tap water had an unpleasant taste.

    You know how you can associate "smell" with taste? To a much much lesser extent, tap water reminds me of bleach.

    My parents eventually moved us up to OR. The tap water in our city was very pleasant and noticeably more fresh.

  • I find that a bargain brand bottle water (a paradox I know...), that it considerably tastes less in quality (an after-taste of something)... and that Aquafina suffices in that it 'doesn't' have that 'after-taste' as the bargain brand.

    What really gets me is that they label 'Aquafina' with a 'Healthy Choices made easy' sticker on it!!! Uuuuuuh, uuuuuh, uuuh.... its water, its only water! And it has been labeled with 'healthy choices made easy'!? That is insulting to even the dumbest of levels!!!

  • all of them contain fluoride :)))))))))

  • And fluoride happens to be bad for us..

  • unexplained-mysteries(dot)com/­forum/index(dot)php?showtopic=­157433

  • Yea, thats some true shit. Governments use fluoride to constantly batter its citizens so we always have to buy pills (for health, which destroy our bodies) and make us stupid so we are eazyer to control.

    Using fluorine for "health" reasons is some bullshit.

  • It's actually very practical for keeping up on good hygiene, but yeah... exposure over a long period of time is really bad for you, it acts sort of like mercury, collects in your body. But I wouldn't mind having that in my water, it would've helped keep my teeth looking somewhat healthy, even if I can't enjoy

  • But there's no ACTUAL proof that fluoride helps your teeth.

    It even says on your toothpaste "we BELIEVE that fluoride helps protect against tooth decay"

    Believe is not much of a strong word when you are trying to convince someone.

    That's like me saying, I believe that rolling in radioactive material will gain me special powers.

  • Story of Stuff is AWESOME

  • 1st

  • I admit I am a victim to their marketing. But it goes beyond just realizing it's ok to drink tap because to me that's not enough. I can taste the difference and "purified" water tastes better to me. I'm not sure if this is an acquired taste or if there's absence of minerals, regardless I will most likely never make tap my common source for daily drinking water.

  • @AccidentallyFunny yeah me to but i acquire mine from a natural way :)

  • wow !!.... the world is stupid... i mean the population of the world .. =(
