Water Filtration

Specialty water includes products with added flavors and/or carbonation, such as seltzer or lemon-flavored sparkling water. Some of these products use water from naturally occurring springs and some use tap water. Usually sold in small containers, these specialty waters are legally categorized as beverages…that is, it is assumed that like beer or juice, they will be consumed only occasionally and not as a daily staple. Specialty bottled waters are exempt from regulation by the FDA and are probably no more or no less safe than other beverages…which isn’t saying a lot. As previously stated, specialty waters are fine for occasional consumption, but medical studies show that clean, pure water is still the best thing for your body, and with the low cost and variety of water filters available today, just about anyone can provide their own source of that. To quote Henry David Thoreau, “Water is the only drink for a wise man”.
