best water?

Tap water because it has flouride etc etc in.

flouride is good for your teeth, not your body but even then it's debateable. i only drink tap water but if i drink bottled water i pick up whatever is there.... :S

Voss, Isklar and some other brand that i drank whilst i was actually in Norway but i forgot the name off "/

Also this stuff from Greenland called Iluliaq is amazing!

I don't feel strongly about the issue, there is different tastes but they appeal to me as much as each other. We've a special water-filtering system in the kitchen which is connected to the main water supply but comes out a different tap, that's always nice and chilled so I drink that at home. Outside the home, if I want water, I'd just buy any bottle of water.

I have fond memories as a child drinking ice-cold Evian out of large glass bottles in French restaurants, that was bliss.

Get a brita & filter the Goverment Juice (Tap Water)

Lol bottled water.

Aside from the debatably small issue arising from Bisphenol A leeching into water from bottles (shown to be negligible), bottled water will also contain phthalates (xenoestrogens). Furthermore, bottled water is not of higher quality than tap water. In the UK our tap water is very hard, hard water contains more magnesium and calcium than soft water and most bottled water.

As for the fluoridation issue, many parts of the UK are lucky enough to not have fluoride added to their water supply without their consent. Ingested fluoride does nothing for the teeth or body beyond increasing aluminium build up in the brain which leads to neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, or fluoride ions displacing calcium ions and leading to skeletal fluorosis (if anyone here studies chemistry in any depth they will know this as a substitution reaction). Some bottled water is fluoridated now too.

All in all I'd say you are drinking inferior water if you drink bottled water, if your water is fluoridated I would recommend removing it yourself with any of the numerous cheap solutions out there. Going for obttled water isn't worth it financially or physiologically. Obviously one bottle of water here or there isn't going to hurt.
