Tap vs Bottled Water

I just read this article from Yahoo! and felt necessary to share it to you.
It's about the importance of consuming tap water instead of bottled one.
Besides the ecological reason of recycling the waste of bottles and the fact of 1.5 millions barrels of crude oils were used for the production of those bottles annually, tap water is seen better to be consumed than those in bottles.
The article propose 4 reasons to support that statement, but I want to highlight only 2 of those reasons;

1. Tap water is tested daily. This is, of course, not the case in the country like Indonesia (hmm...). But for you who are living in foreign countries where drinking from tap water is possible, I believe you will agree with this point that the hygiene of tap water is clinically proved. Because if not, you can simply sue the government otherwise.

2. Tap water is a tooth saver. I am so surprised yet happy with this fact !!
The article says that tap water has more fluoride than bottled water, which helps prevent tooth decay.

To be healthy, live longer yet look younger is just as far as few glasses of water. When it turned out that a tap water has several additional advantages, hope this makes you drink water even more in your daily life. Water and fruits are all you need to stay healthy and fresh.
Be economist in life! Don't waste your money for any chemical medicines and expensive treatment. Start your day with consuming something with the least effort of getting, as supposed to water and fruits, in order to get the maximum result of being healthy, clean and fresh.
