Poland Spring (Bottled Water) is Hazardous
Posted: Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:25 am
Last night I finished off a 2.5 gallon drum of Poland Spring which tasted fine, and it is something I do on a nightly basis. Because there was only a half a cup left on that drum, I used the new drum I purchased last week. This drum was unopened and not tampered with. Immediately I noticed a chemical taste to the water. I took about 5 gulps before I dumped the water from my glass. About 20 minutes later I felt nauseous and had abdominal problems the morning after. The nauseous feeling subsided later that afternoon. Out of curiosity I got a drinking water testing kit from the hardware store. When I tested the Poland Spring water I was shocked at the findings. The water has dangerous ph levels as well as other questionable readings. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I then decided to test the water right from the faucet to see if this would be the same. It turned out to be a stark contrast. The tap water was far safer. I called Poland Spring corporate and forwarded the photo's I included in here. This will make you think twice about buying bottled water. I know I have... The top squares on the strips are the ph levels.
