Evian spelled backwards is Naive.
You decide.
Why tap water is better than bottled.

I use tap water with a filter on it. The filter removes the chlorine (which combines with fat to create chlorinated fatty acids, which ruin the liver). However, I refuse to waste $1 a half-liter on water when I can get the stuff for about 3 cents if I filter it myself, which is what they do.
The flourides in the water are another matter. The bottled waters also have flourides, especially if it is tap water that has been filtered (and some have more flourides added). Which is a health issue--most people do not realize that flourides are not natural flourides, but highly toxic and hazardous agricultural wastes from making fertilizer. Simple flourides are toxic only in high doses (they do combine with calcium, yielding highly insoluble salts, and prevent absorption of calcium). But they also combine with calcium in the teeth to create insoluble salts that resist cavities (which is why it is added to toothpaste). The cation in the added flouride is what is questionable.
Flouride aside, I think bottled water has the risk of phthalates. Filtered or distilled tap water does not.

I grew up on artesian tap water. Tasted sweet and good where we were. Now where I live I just use the Brita attachment to the tap. I used to drink bottled water but not since we got the Brita filter.
BTW, Evian water tastes disgusting, like something died in the water. I always avoid that brand if I can.
