Now I know why. I found out about the dangers of fluoride a few years ago and immediately checked our public water, thank goodness I found it was NOT fluoridated. I had well water my entire childhood and I remember when I was young that we had friends who had fluoridated their household well water and my mother always thought it was not good…she was right, even back in the eighties!! gotta love auto correct!Lets not forget that TAP WATER has FLOURIDE which adds a whole new level of dangerous to what you’re drinking. Their kidneys are not functioning properly and potassium chloride can lead to worse kidney function. Our treatment system would have saved them, in the neighborhood of, $1 MILLION DOLLARS! If you’re comfortable consuming sodas and sports drinks, that’s your personal choice. I’ve recently discovered FRED water. No reason to have those manmade minerals in there. Money means a lot more than peoples lives and many Corps intend to scam, rob, or poison us us without us knowing. I was there for 6 days before she was even born.And according to the information on potassium chloride, it is in fact Category C, which means that no human studies have ever been done to determine the risks, not that it is unsafe. At a few plants, however, water is obtained from protected groundwater sources managed by the bottling plant, …
Makes you wonder? That is a thoroughly ignorant perspective. If you ask me, ALL SODAS ARE BAD regardless of their name brand. I try to always drink only bottled spring water when I’m out or tap water when I’m home. I became even sicker and when my doctor admitted me she scolded me for not following her advice. HelpHi James, nowhere does the Dasani packaging state how much of these additives are included in each bottle of water. This article was well written but poorly researched. It tastes gross. Readers, please feel welcome to share your experiences.Back up your claims with facts! LOVE THIS!! In other words, I was forced to purchase this brand of water due to lack of choice. Be wise with everything. It comes in these cute little “pocket friendly” bottles & look basically like a flask.Thanks for sharing. Thank you for requesting information about the source and product quality of DASANI purified water. :)Unless you are drinking distilled water, you are drinking additives.I have a bladder condtion that flares with potassium so it is possible you are sensitive to the potassium.Makes me wonder too! Everyone is different on what their bodies can tolerate, and even if there are no risks to your baby, I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole again. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research. No more dasnai water for me and my family. Dasani has always made my tongue sting.So what’s stopping some clever young chemist from analyzing the water for magnesium and potassium levels and answering the question?Take water, sometimes just plain ol’ tap water, from one part of the country, put it into environmentally unfriendly plastic bottles, and ship it on diesel trucks to other parts of the country where the local water source is perfectly fine. Not to mention, 6 years ago, my dad was in intensive care at the hospital and I watched nurses dump unused amounts of drugs down the sink in his room over and over.
The Dasani bottle clearly states that these minerals are “added for taste.” Dasani bottled water is not marketed as a sports drink or as electrolyte water; it’s simply marketed as water, which is misleading. I tried the filtered tap water, and got the same reaction – gross!But unfortunately there are a zillion things that could have caused your baby yo have this problem, ranging from genetics to foetal environment to simple random chance.There’s just no way to tell.I do agree with the author, however, that the taste of the additives is not for me. I want to see the lab tests. You will save money and the environment at the same time.Honestly, those things are added to counteract the plastic taste and signs that the water has probably been warehoused for a long time.As a Paramedic (I also have an L&D nurse as a cousin) I can tell you that Mag Sulfate is quite regularly used for pregnant women with hypertension, pre-ecclampsia, Ecclampsia, and siezures. company says drink only distilled or & R.O.
And it’s unhealthy to drink distilled water as your regular beverage, since it lacks such vital minerals as calcium, potassium, and magnesium.
Note that for the well water, we had a system to filter out the sand before it got to any of the faucets or to the water heater. Save $$$ and the enviroment.Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, dietitian, or nutritionist, nor do I claim to have any formal medical background. The fact that fluoride is bad for us is not new news, but it sure is hard to get that through to people.I so enjoyed reading your article!! Cadmium Aluminum Antimony Arsenic Barium Beryllium Chloride Chromium Copper Cyanide Fluoride* -temp dependent Many of the minerals mentioned above (which almost always exist as salts) are in solution as well as many others; further, they often exist in much greater concentrations than Dassani, or any other corp, would want to put into their water because of cost and taste. I was on mag sulfate with my oldest daughter (now almost 9) and she is so tiny and does have a heart murmur still. Yes, she was early but she is so tiny and frail that I can’t help but wonder.
