new testing for bottled water please.
Thankyou all for the great work you have done & keeping us informed with the radiation fallouts..i was wondering if you'd be willing to test bottled water again? at least the most popular ones & see how they are doing now with the radiation like the arrowhead spring waters. if you have already done that please guide me to the posts/info...i've been really busy working 12-16 hr shifts at the hospital & not much time for many things :( I recently purchased arrowhead & Desani water with bb date 10/01/12 but i think it was packaged on 4/2/11... thank you!!

Thank you for posting the info on Perrier and San Pellegrino. I was surprised about Pellegrino, since it is bottled from 3 deep springs north of Milan.
Found some interesting info on Wikipedia:
Excerpts -
- The water contains carbon dioxide and at least the following chemical elements in amounts of 100 or more micrograms per liter: calcium, chloride, fluorine, lithium, magnesium, nitrogen, potassium, silicon, sodium and strontium. The strontium is naturally occurring, not the radioactive strontium-90.
- Analysis shows that the water is strikingly similar to the samples taken in 1782, the first year such analysis took place.
- In 2007, the German consumer TV programme Markt reported that San Pellegrino contains uranium. Nestlé was informed about this and responded that the uranium levels were common in both bottled and tap water and were below the harmful levels recommended by various governments and food health organizations. They added that San Pellegrino is not suitable for infants under 12 weeks of age.
We just used up our pre Fukushima bottled water supply recently and have been drinking Evian, Volvic, some from NZ. For cooking, soaking veg, etc we use distilled from Canada (a spring source)- not optimum, but until we literally move to S. Hemisphere in a few weeks, it has to do. (not moving JUST because of Fukushima, but lots of other critical reasons)
