This question comes up a lot so I have dedicated a page for it on my web site.

So for the folks that have always wondered, I hope it helps shed some light on the issue's of Tap water vs Bottled water.

I have always wondered about that. I give my gliders filtered water from the fridge if I don't give them some from a water bottle. I hate tap water. I, myself, won't drink it. I am not going to make my girls drink something that I won't. I know the fluoride is good for our teeth, but I never trust how clean water is anywhere. Tap water in some places taste disgusting and like metal, in other places it may taste like it has dirt in it, and my tap water tastes completely different from bottled water. My mom disagrees. She says "all water tastes the same", but I don't think so. You aren't supposed to fill fish tanks up with tap water because the chemicals in it are harmful to fish.

Yes what it dose to fish just takes longer in larger animals and humans. Very sad that there are not better regulations.

In the mean time we do our research and pick the healthiest choices out there for us and our beloved pets. No one feeds bad food or water on purposes they just don't have all the facts yet, and I hope my website will help spread the word.

I think you will find this articular interesting on fluoride.

Oh my gosh! Well, I never drink tap water, and when it comes to toothpaste, I brush my teeth three times a day. Once with toothpaste (Crest 3D White) and then without because I have sensitive teeth when it comes to gum, tooth paste, whitening stripes, oral whitening (like in the dentist's office), ect. So, I only use tooth paste once and then I use this mouth wash for sensitive teeth the other two times afterwards. When I tell people -- they think it is gross, but I have white teeth and a clean mouth. There isn't anything gross about it. I do not chew gum. I do not smoke. I don't drink coffee. I don't drink sodas. I dental floss daily. I even made my own tooth paste at one point because I love herbal remedies and stuff. I love natural things. I wish more people would look at what they are actually using in products. Dental hygiene is so much better today. Way back when people used baking soda only, but everything today is more harmful. Whether it be tooth paste or what you are actually buying inside of food. I am allergic to certain food dyes. Many people are, but they never stop to think about what is actually in the foods and products they consume or use. They get an upset stomach after eating Taco Bell or chips or McDonalds and store bought frozen food. Eating organic foods is expensive, but it is worth it in the end. So many vegetables are coated with pesticides when frozen and fresh in markets, but nobody thinks about that. I am so glad to have seen this. Thank you.
