Answer 1

Certain water bottling companies add in things “for taste” that amount to not much more than salt. Dasani, Pure Life, many of the bottled water brands do this. If you want to avoid that, stick to spring water. Check the ingredients, and if it has anything added “for taste” avoid that brand.
