LOL funny ,,, and interesting.
I found at the last place I lived (in the mountains with supposedly very GOOD water -- usually) that I HAD to boil the water in order not to get a sick stomach from drinking it. I never figured out why.
But I do better where I live now by boiling my water too.
I used to buy filtered water and store it in glass containers, and that worked well for me.
Prior to that, I did learn a no-no about water. We had a machine that produced distilled water at work, and I could get it whenever I wanted. So I would fill my containers and that's what I drank. For MANY months. When my boss found out she was horrified, and told me that because the water is distilled, it lacks minerals and can actually have a leaching effect on the body. I WAS having issues with mineral deficiencies. I swithched to purified water and upped mineral supplements for a while and all became well.
So ... For whatever that's worth.
I have NEVER paid the ridiculous prices for tiny bottle after bottle of water though, nor had to deal with disposal. I keep my own gallon or two-gallon containers. Preferably glass but not always.
I do think it's ridiculous to consider limiting water itself with the idea that it is dangerous. It CAN carry lots of bad stuff into the body though.
And I'm with y'all. I can't afford to overstress about stuff. I just eat the freshest, cleanest, real food I can as much as I can and don't worry too much otherwise. It's all I can do right now.
