WHAT ARE THEY PUTTING IN BOTTLED WATER?

DOCTOR 2.

…It’s interesting in the last five years or more, the revolution that has occurred in the soft drink industry in the supply of water. This is always a fascinating one for me because if you look at that trend, it started off being bottled water and the attraction to them was it was pure bottled water from the springs of some mountaintop process that you just wouldn’t be able to get your hands on. 

Whether you believe that or not, the trend now is going to ‘let’s take this water and adulterate it by putting in certain things that make it taste better’ so we’re slowly working our way back to ‘let’s load it up with sugar, let’s load it up with preservatives and with various colourings’ because that makes people buy more.  A lot of soft drinks have this effect whereby it sets up this almost cyclical need for more.  It sets up an artificial thirst inside and some people may have experienced this.  You have one drink and you think ‘gee that was good, I still feel thirsty, I better have some more of that’ and in some case you need to break the cycle.  You need to satisfy that thirst with the good-old fashioned glass of water.
