Did you read our recent article looking at the Nitrates in bottled water?
Nitrates are fertilisers and can be traced in almost every bottled water on the market. Found in nature and used in agriculture, they are colourless, odourless and tasteless but are pollutants, and in large quantities can be damaging.
Naturally Nitrate-free water is particularly important for pregnant women and new born babies as infants can become seriously ill if exposed to Nitrates. It has also been proven that birth defects are more likely to occur if expectant mothers are exposed to high levels of Nitrates.
In many European countries, legislation ensures that Nitrate (NO3) content in bottled water does not exceed 50mg per litre for adults, while for new born babies and pregnant women any more than 10mg per litre can be dangerous.

a mixture of both
Mostly bottled, I hate the taste of our tap water, when I was pregnant with my 3rd child I couldn’t touch it, even the smell made me feel ill!
Ive just returned to work from maternity leave, I tend to grab water on the go. So its bottles for me.
If I am drinking plainwater, then I always prefer to use bottled water as I find it tastes just that little bit nicer, purer and fresher but if it is for adding to cordials or squash, I tend to just use tap water.
Mainly bottled water
I prefer drinking bottled water, I only have tap water when making cups of tea. We live in a rural farming area and I believe nitrate levels are high here in our tap water
I drink tap water at home, bottled water sometimes if out.
