actually it's the fluoride in the water that is concerning, but you're right, the problem is a lot bottled waters are just water taken from the public source, and in some cases more fluoride is added, (fluoride is a toxic waste that is disposed of in the water supply disguised as being health beneficial, but just by reading the warning labels on a tube of toothpaste, and a little common sense will tell you otherwise) Evian is actually a good water to buy, it is fluoride free, and and has a high pH level.
