Bottled water loses its sparkle

Article Abstract:

It is not worth spending a lot of money on bottled mineral water, according to a 'Which?' report which details the results of tests on more than 50 bottled waters. These products can contain high levels of bacteria, and generally taste no different from filtered tap water. The report concludes that mineral waters do not deserve their image as being a healthier alternative to tap water.
