Hi,

My Science teacher has set me some Homework basically she asked us this question on my sheet;

What is better Tap Water or Bottled Water and Why ?

Sorry if it seams a stupid question

THIS IS DUE IN FOR THURSDAY MORNING

Neither is really better than the other...

Tap water sometimes has added fluorine which isn't too good for you apparently.. idk

[jakey,,]

bottled can be better because they keep all the minerals in, or they add artificial minerals but with tap water they dont :p hope this helps

The minerals aren't actually a good thing - if you constantly drink bottled water you will get a build up of mineral's in the body which can lead to things such as kidney stones, etc.

Tap waters the way to go, also known as lolwater

Either type of water is good. While tap water contains fluoride which isn't exactly the best thing to have, it's still good to drink. Bottled water doesn't have fluoride in and conatins lots of natural minerals but with all of this, it's also damaging the environment due to the pollution it causes to create the bottling process and transportation of the bottled water.

Bottled water as theres gems and chlorine in the tap water which is bad for ur health.

im not so sure myself lol

Bottled because its fresh and no chemicals have been used on it.

Bottled because its fresh and no chemicals have been used on it.Not always the case though.

Funnily enough there was a discussion on this the other day and Tap Water in the UK has some of the highest standards in the world before it's allowed through your taps, it's rigorously tested for chemicals and for it's purity. Bottled water often isn't and it's just stagnant water with chemicals and minerals.

However go to most places in Europe and the chances are you'll be ill if you drink any of their tap water.
