Subject: [Ferret-Health-list] Tap Water or Spring Water

Hi, I don't know about tumors related to tap water but do we really know
that bottled water is all that much better for the ferrets/us? Do we really
know whats in the filtered water and bottled spring water? Not all filters
that are used to so call clean up the water get all the impurities out.
Granted in some parts of the country tap water is pretty disgusting tasting
and bottled water taste a whole lot better so I guess we assume that it's
got to be better for us/pets. Just a thought, Evian spelled backwards spells
NAIVE.(just a little humor) If you find out more about that article I'd like
to read it.Thanks!----- Original Message -----
