Time to go pour a glass of red -- lots of good antioxidants, too!! ;>
Seriously, though, you do bring up an interesting point. I think this issue is another example of news misinforming and confusing more than clarifying. What got lost in the coverage I heard - or got glossed over - is that even though much bottled water is "sourced" from a tap, it is often (but not always) purified or filtered before it is bottled. I feel that makes a pretty significant difference.
Personally, I'm with Charles... If it's too dangerous for our fish tanks (if that's what you're into), then I don't want to be drinking it, either. I dislike the taste of our local tap water and I think there are more things in it (especially after it's traveled through who knows what getting to our homes) than we'd probably like to think about on any given day. I'm all for keeping water bottles out of the landfills, too, so I just have my own point-of-use filter and I fill my own bottles! Problem solved...
