"In 2004, PepsiCo put $22 million into domestic media advertising for Aquafina, and Coca-Cola spent $18 million to advertise dasani. These amazing sums are spent to promote water. Bottled waters appear to present many choices—bubbles, flavors, and the colors and sizes of packages —but up to 40 percent of them start out as tap water. To create dasani, for example, Coca-Cola takes water from local city supplies, cleans it up a bit, and tosses in a few min- the colors and sizes of packages—but up to ionization, reverse osmosis, or some 40 percent of them start out as tap water." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Ironically, the Coca-Cola Company bottles and sells water (under the name dasani) purified by the reverse osmosis method, which removes fluoride from water, but their soda actually contains fluoride. Presumably, dasani is the same water they use to make their soft drinks and it would make sense that Coke should actually be fluoride free. That it isn't would indicate that they are purposefully adding fluoride back in. Furthermore, the longer a canned drink sits, especially at higher temperatures, the more aluminofluoride compound will be created in the drink." - Russell L.

By law, min- per million dissolved solids. Spring waters —sparkling, still, or mineral ?must come from an underground source identified on the label (these are often the same local springs that go into tap water). Sparkling waters contain natural or added carbon dioxide to make bubbles." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "Could we enter a time where the only water we can feel safe drinking is dasani or Aquafina . . . ?" • Value in values: "What if Constellation Brands developed sustainable black-run agricultural programs to grow grapes and make wine in South Africa and marketed the brand as such? Does Chick-fil-A, a concept with a Christian religious heritage, have higher sales per restaurant because it does not open on Sunday?" If these suggestions appear chillingly manipulative rather than health promoting, you know what you are up against when you walk into a supermarket." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"I'll take my chances with filtered water or bottled water, such as the pristine Artesian waters, or even some reputable American brands like dasani. Are there unscrupulous companies selling stuff that's probably no better (or worse) than tap? Sure. Is the "good stuff expensive? Yup. But compared to a drink at an upscale bar or hotel, or a day's worth of lattes at the local coffee emporium, the best bottle of water in the world is cheap. Doubly so for the peace of mind it buys me." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

That it isn't would indicate that they are purposefully adding fluoride back in. Furthermore, the longer a canned drink sits, especially at higher temperatures, the more aluminofluoride compound will be created in the drink. This would be a major consideration, for example, in the millions of diet soft drinks donated to soldiers in the Persian Gulf. These drinks sat in the blazing heat, over 105° F, for weeks." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)
