Which is safer, tap or bottle water?
I keep seeing one site saying Tap water is safer. .. while another says Bottled water is safer.
Right now I can't afford to keep buying bottoled water... but this whole tap water conspiracy is getting me paranoid lol.

Bottled water has a range of problems. One is that because it is not treated, it may end up with bacteria. This doesn't happen with bottled water.
Bottled water can come from a range of sources and some companies just put in regular tap water while in developing countries most bottled water is distilled water.
Tap water can be very good, though it depends on where you are. In some countries it is very safe from both minerals and bacteria, but in others it is not.
So the answer is yes.

There is no tap water "conspiracy."
Bottled water is usually just tap water in a plastic bottle. Keep some around in case of emergency. Other than that, the Earth and your wallet would appreciate it if you would not waste all that money on buying "disposable" plastic bottles.

Plain ordinary tap water. What's the guarantee that bottled water hasn't been sitting in a cooler with milk leaking on it and the clerk just wiped it off with a rag ?
